The Centre focus is represented by Bertha Prince, a youth and
our future. Role Models are absolutely necessary in all aspects of our lives. Elders
tell us and research proves that if “children have good role models they
tend to be motivated self-learners.” They will also have a “very healthy
and nurturing imagination” for a lifetime.
Role Models can be powerful forces in our lives and it is always comforting to
have one during all stages of our lives.Sometimes we learn through imitation; we
look around for somebody who is doing what we want to do and we learn from a person
we know, respect or value. Role Models can model whole lives as well as particular
skills. We seek good role models to follow and our hope is that one day we may
be a role model for someone because of our approach and commitment to living a
good life.
Role Models can have a positive effect towards learning, school, attitudes, behaviour,
our self concept, our beliefs in ourselves, our moral development, and our relationships
in our homes, at work and in our social lives.
We have many Role Models in our communities; each of us needs to look for him
or her and appreciate the gifts our Creator has given us.
