Developing a growth mindset and resilience is an intricate and sensitive process that requires a delicate balance of stability, nurture, and challenge. Throughout our students’ learning experiences, whether face-to-face or online, they are encouraged to develop their approaches to learning (ATLs). The acquisition of these skills, such as communication, thinking, research, and self-management, are fundamental to becoming independent learners.
With a focus on supporting and empowering students to overcome these current challenges, our school enables students to develop and demonstrate resilience, perseverance, and adaptability to succeed in their everyday learning and future lives.
