Resilience - it's a buzz word we've all heard a million times over the past couple of years. But for our students, what does being resilient actually mean?

Having a well-developed ability to embrace failures and setbacks as opportunities for growth and development is the underlying essence of resilience.

All too often, though, failure has a negative spin put on it - through our responses, our words and our actions when those around us don't experience success in something they have tried. Being conscious of our responses to setbacks can greatly enhance a child's growth mindset, and their ability to learn from setbacks and make changes for future growth.
