Definitions:
Adaptability means I can work well with new people, places and changing circumstances.
Communication: I use many ways to clearly share my ideas and feelings with others
Cooperation: I work with others and take on different roles in a TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves
More)
Enquiry means I can ask questions, investigate, and find answers.
Morality means I choose what is right and reject what is wrong because God loves me.
Resilience means I recover quickly from difficulties and I dont give up.
Respect means I treat others with honor because all people have worth.
Thoughtfulness means I think carefully and reflect on my work and my choices.
International Mindedness is: accepting, respecting and celebrating the diversity among ourselves
and the global community.
