Wellbeing advice from Mr Skrob 

Each Wellbeing and Engagement article I will have a wellbeing advice section like this one for students to read. 

This edition focuses on 'The Power of Yet!' While concepts at school or new skills can at times be tricky to master, it is important to remember to use growth mindset language to train your brain to persist when you are finding new learning challenging. Train yourself to say 'I haven't mastered it YET!' instead of 'I can't do this.'
