Growth Mindset

As part of our mission to promote positive well-being in school and intertwined with our school values, at St Michael's we have been embracing the 'Growth Mindset' approach to learning across the curriculum.

Incorporating our school values children learn how our brains work and how new connections are formed when they try new things.

Some examples of these are:

• Never give up even when it is difficult
• Learn from each other
• A person who never made a mistake, never tried anything new
• Mistakes are proof that you are trying
• We challenge ourselves
• Our brain is like a muscle - the only thing you need to know is that you can learn anything!
