Character Building

Imam Tirmidhi (rahimahullah) and others have recorded the following narration:

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) is reported to have said, ” There is no gift that a father gives his child more virtuous than good manners.” (Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 1952)

If our schools help parents in nurturing their children with good characters, our schools would become the most sought out destination for their educational needs. More over all the children are handed over to us an amaanah. It is not the degree in education which will make one’s life successful, but his/her character.

Character Building Concept:

Every academic month has a theme on which, age appropriate activities could be planned for all classes, which are generally considered important but ignored. Say making one’s bed in the morning, keeping things in its place after use etc., They are simple activities, but if practiced it becomes a habit and once it is a habit, it is very difficult to change. This is how the table with various activities for classes from LKG to XII is made. (Please refer the tables below)

Implementation:

The activities for an academic month are explained to the students, and a note on the activities are sent to the parents as well. A corner of the classroom is identified as “Akhlaq Corner” where in the month’s activities and a marking sheet are placed on the pin board. On every working day , the class teacher ensures to mark the sheet and gives stars to the performers. In the month end, the top scorers are felicitated.
