“Ultimately it is God’s love, not ours, that will affirm the children.  It is our job at home and at school to be a reflection of His love.” - Mr. Borkowski

“We need to teach our kids to reject the thoughts of those who would give us a negative self-concept and be affirmed by those who build us up. ” - Mr. Borkowski

“Memories are so powerful.  That is why it is important to praise positive behaviours and achievements, reliving positive experiences is the antidote to negative ones. ” - Mr. Borkowski

“Our conscious actions are determined by our subconscious beliefs about how things are supposed to be.  ” - Mr. Borkowski
