Navigating change
We will equip our students to thrive in uncertain futures and navigate change by developing the following attributes:
 | Curiosity The enthusiasm to seek out new perspectives, to create and build on existing knowledge |
 | Self-efficacy Confidence in their abilities, and the ability to respond positively in various situations. |
 | Resilience The willingness to adapt and remain motivated, overcome obstacles, and deal with ambiguity, uncertainty, and rejection. |
