Into this book we write the names of pupils who have distinguished themselves during the school year by carrying out unbidden acts of kindness. Teachers write down the name of a pupil, the act of kindness performed and often, pupils are completely unaware that their name has been added until it is read out at assembly. The purpose of this is to make clear that \u2018no act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, it is precisely these acts of kindness that create the sort of school and community where we can all flourish. Each year we have a special celebration day, one of the high points on the school calendar. It is a time to celebrate the achievements of pupils who have taken external examinations, to hear about the many and varied activities which pupils have participated in, and there is a presentation of awards. The names are read from \u2018The Book\u2019 and then there is the presentation of Ms Crawford\u2019s \u2018good egg\u2019 cup. The term \u2018good egg\u2019 is not much used these days and in the past, Ms Crawford would often explain to the pupils that it is a friendly, old-fashioned way of talking about a good or kind person. The cup (which she instigated) is then awarded to a pupil who staff collectively recognise has been a \u2018good egg\u2019 during the year. It is one way we try to acknowledge and encourage the best of human virtues \u2013 kindness. And it seems fitting to be reminded of this legacy as we collectively mourn the loss of someone who upheld that virtue throughout the many years that she taught at Wychwood School.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Christine Crossley<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-x grid-padding-x\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cell\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"button primary back_to_archive\" href=index-173.html data-aos=\"fade-up\">Back to Blogs<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cell\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <div class=\"block-fc-image-carousel landscape text-center\">\n\t<div class=\"fc-image-carousel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slide__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slide__image\" data-aos=\"fade-in\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/wychwoodschool.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-2-1200x675-c-default.webp\"\n\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"\n\t\t\thttps:\/\/wychwoodschool.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-2-640x360-c-default.webp 640w,\n\t\t\thttps:\/\/wychwoodschool.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-2-768x432-c-default.webp 768w,\n\t\t\thttps:\/\/wychwoodschool.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-2-2048x1152-c-default.webp 2048w\n\t\t\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsizes=\"\n\t\t\t(min-width: 2000px) 2048px,\n\t\t\t(min-width: 720px) calc(94.76vw - 274px),\n\t\t\t(min-width: 520px) calc(100vw - 96px),\n\t\t\tcalc(100vw - 32px)\n\t\t\"\n\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\tdata-image-id=\"3290\"\n\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slick-controls\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"fc-image-carousel-prev-arrow\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"fc-image-carousel-next-arrow\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3290,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Power of Kindness - Wychwood School<\/title>\n<!-- Added by HTTrack --><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" /><!-- /Added by HTTrack -->
