Fortnightly Target For PB4L

At St Paul’s I apologise when I have made a poor choice

Just about everyone has said or done something that hurts another person’s feelings. Sometimes you might hurt someone without meaning to. Or you say or do something unkind and regret it later.

When you realise you’ve broken someone’s trust in you or hurt them with your words or actions, it’s a good idea to apologise.

It can be hard to admit when you’ve done something you’re not proud of — even if you didn’t mean to do it. 

Apologies can help you build and keep good friendships. When you say, "I'm sorry" (and really mean it), you can repair trust. Saying you're sorry is more than just words. You're showing that you respect the other person’s feelings. You value their friendship.

Apologising is a chance for you to be honest, humble, and act with integrity. It lets you find out that your words and actions can also have a positive effect on others — and on you.
