We are a Bucket Filling School. What is bucket filling?
When your bucket is full, you feel more confident, secure, calm, patient, and friendly. Your thoughts are positive and you expect positive results. When your bucket is overflowing, you experience an intense happiness that can spread to those around you. Have you ever felt better after someone gave you a friendly smile or happy grin? This is the "ripple effect" of a full bucket.
We teach children that by being kind, helpful, responsible, and respectful they fill other people's buckets. This also fills their bucket because they feel good behaving this way.
