GRIT


GRIT
Our theme for the year is GRIT.  As a staff we have been developing ways to foster the elements of GRIT, Guts, Resilience, Innovation and Teamwork, in our students.  Angela Lee Duckworth has conducted research focused on how fostering GRIT in students provides life-long strategies and benefits.  Our classroom meetings and all-school assemblies will focus on developing resilience, risk taking and perseverance.  Below is a link to Angela Lee Duckworth's TED Talk, "The Key to Success? GRIT".
