Growth Mindset
We want to become mindful of our emotions and how these impact our school work, home life and relationships.
To help at home you may want to watch the Class Dojo short clips about Growth Mindset. Stanmore Bay students are also able to attend lunch time classes in Mindfulness with Ms Flower.
