For a significant part of this term, we are focusing on our Khandallah Star Value of Resilience. Our students have told us that ‘Resilience’ means:

* Keep trying, even if it’s hard

* Persevering and being determined

* Trying different ways of doing something

* Bouncing back

* Using your growth mindset - you can’t do it YET

* Being positive

* If you make a mistake, learn from it

* Building yourself back up if you fail or lose

* Being strong even if things aren’t going your way

* Knowing it’s okay to make mistakes

* You don’t always get it the first time when you are learning something new

What wise thinking! Over the course of the term our students will be experiencing a range of opportunities to show and further develop their resilience skills. You might like to talk to them about this at home e.g. “What did you do today to show resilience?”
