And beyond. Learning Objectives Identify and explain the core Franciscan values, and describe how these values contribute to a sense of community life; Appreciate the importance of living out Franciscan values in their daily interactions by demonstrating a deeper commitment to kindness, respect, and inclusivity within the school community. Learning Objectives Participate in a group activity where they apply Franciscan values by collaboratively planning and executing a service-oriented project that benefits the school or local community.  Formative Assessment How do you think practicing RESPECT, COMMITMENT, OPPORTUNITY, AND EXCELLENCE can contribute to nation- building?  The core Franciscan values of Commitment, Opportunity, Respect, and Excellence (often referred to as the acronym CORE) form the foundation of the ethos at Saint Francis of Assisi College (SFAC) and contribute significantly to a sense of community life.  How each value shapes a positive, inclusive environment: COMMITMENT This value emphasizes dedication and responsibility in all aspects of life, including academics, work, and relationships. In a community setting, commitment fosters reliability and trust, as individuals are encouraged to stay true to their responsibilities and promises.  OPPORTUNITY Opportunity speaks to creating and embracing chances for growth and success. A Franciscan community promotes inclusivity by ensuring that all members have access to opportunities for personal, intellectual, and spiritual development.  RESPECT Respect is at the heart of Franciscan values, reflecting the belief in the inherent dignity of every individual. It encourages kindness, empathy, and understanding in interactions with others. Respect creates a harmonious community where differences are celebrated, and diverse perspectives are welcomed. EXCELLENCE The pursuit of excellence inspires individuals to give their best efforts in all they do, whether in academics, service, or relationships. This value drives continuous improvement and a sense of pride in contributing positively to the community. Appreciate the importance of living out Franciscan values in their daily interactions Kindness Simple acts of kindness create a ripple effect, promoting goodwill and cooperation among students and staff. It helps build strong, caring relationships and encourages others to reciprocate with kindness, enhancing overall well-being. Respect Respecting others, their opinions and differences is fundamental to maintaining a peaceful and productive school community. It promotes understanding and prevents conflicts, ensuring that everyone feels valued and heard. Inclusivity Inclusivity ensures that everyone, regardless of background, is treated fairly and has equal opportunities. By embracing diversity, the community fosters a sense of belonging, enabling all students to thrive academically and socially. Performance Task Group Activity: "Franciscan Community Service Project" Objective: Students will collaborate to plan and execute a service-oriented project that embodies the core Franciscan values of Saint Francis of Assisi College (SFAC): Commitment, Opportunity, Respect, and Excellence.
