We continue our commitment to the DECYP, and our school values of Connection, Respect, Growth, Courage, and Responsibility. Our focus values for Term Three are Courage and Growth.

Over the last few weeks, we have focussed on embracing challenges. One of the key aspects of taking on new challenges is developing a growth mindset. A growth mindset is the belief that our abilities and intelligence can be developed through hard work, and perseverance. This compares to a fixed mindset, the belief that talents and intelligence stay the same and can’t change.

A growth mindset is crucial because it encourages resilience, when we see setbacks as opportunities to learn rather than failures, we are more likely to keep trying and overcome obstacles. Having a growth mindset fosters a love of learning, shifting the focus to improving ourselves.

As we achieve things through effort and practice, we build confidence in our ability to tackle new and difficult challenges. At NNHS teachers regularly offer feedback to students to implement, supporting and encouraging social and academic development. At NNHS we see ourselves as live long learners.
