Kurt Hahn"I regard it as the foremost task of education to insure the survival of these qualities: an enterprising curiosity, an undefeatable spirit, tenacity in pursuit, readiness for sensible self denial, and above all, compassion."
‘No reference to sport in cognitive psychology textbooks’ Prof. Aidan Moran, University College, Dublin

Modelling and Influence
Hooking kids in..... ‘Children learn mostly from that which is
around them, and from the use of the senses. These impressions so gained will depend a great deal on interests, which will vary considerably. If children are interested, they will listen more carefully, look more closely and touch more sensitively. With interest, there is created the element of wonder, the most precious element of life’
Sir Alec Clegg, CEO West Riding of Yorkshire, 1964
We must continue to teach what we genuinely believe our children need to know. Even if we have to do it under the radar! This is the covert curriculum.
Thanks. Have a great evening.
