Where There’s a Will
September 23 – October 11

At the heart of Positive Education is the development of character strengths—universal traits that help us thrive and perform at our best. In collaboration with Upper Hunter Where There’s a Will, our Upper Hunter Schools, Preschools, and Early Learning Centres have created a powerful and meaningful series of images that highlight the 24 Character Strengths.

As the saying goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” These visuals aim to bring each character strength to life, making these important concepts more accessible and impactful for everyone.
