Resilience

In Autumn 2, we will be focusing on the virtue ‘Resilience’. 

Hope

“The Lord is my strength and my song” (Psalm 118:14)

 Definition: 

To accept that there will be difficulties in life. To see these as a challenge and not to be discouraged. To search for your inner strengths and faith to get you through personal challenges.

Why Practice Perseverance and Resilience?

Sometimes it is important to understand that there are some things we have to accept. We will have challenges in life but these can be an opportunity for growth. Therefore, it is important that we commit ourselves to ensure we keep going and see things through. If we persevere, this will help us to become more resilient in facing personal challenges. There will be some things we cannot change and some we can. Through the experience of these challenges we will develop the wisdom to discern the situations that are in need of perseverance and resilience. When we persevere, even when we have doubts, in our hearts we remain committed. When we are resilient we can cope with the doubts because deep down we know where we stand and are committed for the long run.

How do we practice Resilience?

At SS Peter and Paul Primary School, we practice resilience by staying steadfast and committed to seeing things through, even when challenges arise. We don’t give up when things get difficult because our motivation comes from within. We can be relied upon to remain focused and continue working towards our goals, no matter the obstacles.
