Judaism teaches that the world is built on kindness and Elul is the most opportune time to do teshuva: to take stock of ourselves and the lives we lead, to look at where we have fallen short of our spiritual aspirations and what we can do to improve ourselves. The entire Sydenham campus is participating in this project.
Children naturally look to their surroundings for role model;, it is therefore imperative that they be exposed to be good role models who can guide them to develop their maximum potential in all aspects of their lives
Acts of kindness are being encouraged both at home and at school. Should anyone be “Caught Being Kind”, wherever they are, the act of kindness has been documented and is on display in the classroom.
