My personal comments:

I believe that the school set the G.R.A.C.E value because they want us to abide it and change to someone better, a woman of fine character with a passion for life and learning. But from the behaviours of certain PL lites, it obviously shows whether the G.R.A.C.E values is applied or not. Some PL lites did not organised themselves well by abiding the school rules. not using pure languages on others and on things which could be very hurting to others. Some PL lites also do not take the extra efforts to explore and discover new knowledge and develop new skills from the results that are produced. On the other hand, some students do also organised themselves well and abide the school rules. Also, influencing others the right way and stand out to know whats wrong, what is right. Also respecting themselves and others in order to get respect from others. Using appropriate languages and take the extra efforts for a better result. The G.R.A.C.E values also can be applied in a good way in our daily life :)
