The Importance of Building Resilience

One of the core values at Ripley Valley SSC is Perseverance.  We value this quality because it enables our students to cope with the challenges that life sometimes throws their way.  In order to help students to persevere, we recognise the importance of teaching them strategies that work to build their resilience. 

Over the next Term, this concept of building resilience will be the focus of the weekly PBL lessons.  As part of this focus, students will look at: strategies to prevent bullying; developing a growth mindset; supporting personal wellbeing; setting positive expectations; enhancing problem solving and communication skills.  As we develop these skill-sets, we hope that all students at Ripley Valley SSC work to demonstrate our values of Respect, Responsibility and Perseverance.
