Justice means being fair in everything you do. It also means taking responsibility when you make a mistake and doing your best to make things right.
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
— Martin Luther King Jr.
Think for yourself and choose your words carefully. Avoid gossip or speaking negatively about others. Share fairly, treat others with respect, and stand up for people’s rights—including your own.
Say this:
“I act with justice. I stand up for the rights of others and myself. I take responsibility for my actions and make things right. I choose fairness and honesty.”

Year 2 have been super excited to go on their first excursion. Last week they set out on their adventure to the Toohey Forest Environmental Centre where they enjoyed a whole day of scientific learning, locating land and aquatic animals, investigating stages of lifecycles and experiencing live animals up close. They were awesome learners and great ambassadors for UMGSS.

Tact is telling the truth in a kind and thoughtful way. It means thinking about how your words might affect others before you speak.
As part of the Getting Along key, tact reminds us to pause, reflect, and choose our words carefully.
“Step with care and great tact and remember that life’s a great balancing act.”
— Dr. Seuss
Before you speak, take a moment to consider:
Is it kind? Is it helpful? Is it the right time?
Being tactful means being sensitive to others and choosing words that are gentle, respectful, and constructive.
Say this:
“I act with tact. I think before I speak. I tell the truth kindly and gently.”
