No excuses

We shared this with some of our older children today. Developed by high school students in Santiago it covers all the reasons why kids could not be part of contributing to a school cultures and success and then shares why offering no excuses is their school mantra - to succeed. What a powerful clip.

Secrets of Success


I love this brilliant 3 minute presentation from Richard St John at the TED website. He talks about how he identified the 8 secrets of success which he gleaned from 500 interviews /coffees with successful people over 7 years.

So much these days is said of a person's connection to their environment that they are engaged in. We looked very hard before school started at key elements we had to display as a staff to inspire our children to do their best. I think Richard St John sums it up superbly in his presentation.

The 8 secrets of success are - Passion, Work, Improve, Focus, Push, Serve, Ideas and Persist.
