The power of strength: why the focus should be strength, not resilience

Our Principal, Kylie McCullah, recently shared her perspective on essential skills for young people. While digital literacy, leadership, confidence, and resilience are valuable, Kylie believes the most crucial skill is strength. Kylie emphasised that physical strength fosters discipline, determination, and self-confidence, translating into improved academic performance, better stress management, and a positive mindset.
