Our Term 4 Learning Value

Back to News

24th Feb 2025

Our Term 4 Learning Value is 'self-belief'.

Self-belief is all about:

trusting in your own abilities
setting yourself challenging goals
gaining confidence
thinking of yourself positively

If you have self-belief, you realise that:

you can reach your potential if you believe in yourself
you should set yourself challenging, yet achievable, goals to help stay motivated
gaining confidence will give you the strength to carry on (and on) – even when there are challenges

You can show your self-belief by:

having a positive and determined mindset
being courageous and resilient when facing the challenging, but achievable, goals you set yourself
knowing that you will reach your potential and achieve your goals

The following words come to mind when we think of self-belief:

courage
determination
positivity
tenacity
focus
faith
confidence
assuredness
inner strength
resilience
