The S.T.A.R. program is the most exciting and innovative program you and your child will ever experience in the area of Personal Responsibility Education. The program is S.T.A.R. (Success Through Accepting Responsibility or Stop, Think, Act and Review). S.T.A.R. focuses on the systematic teaching of common values that cut across ethnic, cultural and religious lines. These values include: honesty, respect, responsibility, integrity, courage, tolerance, justice, self-confidence and politeness.

At our school our mission is to instil in students these very values using the Martial Arts. We believe this to be an ongoing process and not something to be achieved in a month or year, but rather over a lifetime of education and effort. We have chosen the S.T.A.R. program because it is the perfect complement to our philosophy. S.T.A.R. will provide an ongoing, systematic method of teaching the core values on which our program is based.

S.T.A.R. is designed to teach students to:
• Accept the consequences of their actions.
• Use the S.T.A.R.: Stop Think Act Review decision making model to solve problems and resolve conflicts.
• Develop and improve self-confidence, self-esteem, and positive attitudes.
• Set and achieve realistic goals.
• Accept that attendance at class, punctuality and reliability are part of being personally responsible.
