Character Strengths

At SMG, we help students identify and develop their unique Character Strengths. Drawing on Positive Psychology research, students learn that everyone possesses strengths that can be used to support learning, relationships, and wellbeing.

By recognising and applying strengths such as kindness, perseverance, bravery, gratitude, teamwork, curiosity, humour, and self-regulation, students develop greater self-awareness, confidence, and resilience. Character Strengths are celebrated across the school and connected to our SHINE values, helping students understand how they can positively contribute to their community.
