Core Values for the New Year!
Caring & Sharing - we value close relations with others where sharing and caring are reciprocated
Fairness & Equity - we aim to treat all people fairly and give everyone another chance
Curiosity & Interest - we are curious enough to ask questions, we love learning, we find exploration and discovery fascinating
Perspective & Wisdom - we value other people's perspective on what they see to be a different picture. We want to look at the world in such a way that makes sense to others as well as ourselves
Leadership - We encourage people in a group to get things done and preserve harmony by making all participants feel included. We do a good job at organising relevant activities and seeing that they happen
