Character Education Throughout the year, character traits and appropriate social skills are reinforced and practiced. Friends here at Gay Avenue are recognized on Fridays for their efforts in showing these traits and skills to the best of their abilities. It's a great way to compliment the expectations of making every day here at Gay Avenue Primary a "green dot" day!
