SJF Term 4 Learning Value

Back to News
16th Feb 2024

Our Term 4 Learning Value is 'Self-Belief'.

Self-belief is all about:

  • trusting in our own abilities
  • setting ourselves challenging but realistic goals
  • gaining confidence and thinking of ourselves positively

If we have self-belief, we understand that:

  • we can achieve our potential if we believe in ourselves and are resilient
  • we should continually set more challenging goals to help us stay motivated to move forward
  • gaining confidence gives us the strength to carry on – even when it feels easier to give up

 

We can show our self-belief by:

  • having a positive and determined mindset
  • encouraging others supportively to try (and keep trying) to achieve their goals
  • really believing that we can call reach our potential and achieve our goals

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

·   courage

·   determination

·   positivity

·   tenacity and focus

·   faith

·   confidence

·   assuredness

·   inner strength

·   resilience
