Through resilience and character building, we can teach children good communication and problem-solving skills, healthy coping skills and a deeper understanding of themselves and their own emotions. All of these further support good mental well-being and health and allow our Rainbow Citizens to achieve their full potential. They leave our school as well-rounded, confident, happy and resilient individuals ready to enter the further stages of education and life and become active and responsible members of society.

We support our children’s character and resilience building through a variety of different ways.

• We hold career weeks in school in which we invite professionals from a variety of different fields to come and speak with our children about careers they could go into. 
• We participate in a wide variety of tournaments, from within school to our of school. These can range from sporting tournaments, to academic.
