Gobind Sarvar School has a unique character education program called “Mere Bare”. The words Mere Bare in Punjabi translates to All About Me. Our Character Education focuses on building students’ emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing through this program.
The Mere Bare Character Education Program is composed of five different components which are collectively known as Gobind Sarvar’s Wheel of Wisdom. The five components of the Wheel of Wisdom are listed below:
- Soul Time
- Core Values of Sikhi
- Zones of Regulation
- Mindfulnesse
- Mind-Up Curriculume
In our classes and at school assemblies, the staff make every effort to recognize the positive attitudes and achievements of students. Each month, we hold a Core Values Assembly, in which teachers recognize students who worked hard to learn and follow that particular month’s core value.
The Core Values at Gobind Sarvar are as below:

Self-Awareness | Introspection allows us to understand our thoughts, habits, and emotions. This gives individuals the ability to self-regulate and strengthens their emotional intelligence which is critical in all aspects of life. | Being aware of who you are.It means conscious knowledge of one’s own character, feelings, motives and desires. |
