Anyone can "show up" when life is smooth—when everything aligns, when the path is clear, when it all unfolds as expected.
But true leadership is tested in the hard moments—when uncertainty clouds the way, when challenges seem insurmountable, and when tough choices demand courage.
Greatness isn’t found in ease; it’s forged in resilience.
Choose to show up—especially when it’s hard. That’s when it matters most.
Here is to the excitement of a NEW school year: I am very much looking forward to joining @cookstowncps crew and learning and growing as a leader for the 2024/2025 school year!
Meet our newest Gryphon. He has come to meet Charlie and! say Thank you for being safe and walking and wheeling to school and for wearing your helmets! @AGESGryphons Wonder what a good name would be? I’m thinking Glen!
Students from @mrsrankka and Brett's class explaining how their Boomtowns are eco friendly and accessible with working elevatos and roof top gardens @AGESGryphons
Thanks @mrsrankka and Brett's class for sharing your Boomtown First Lego change with @AGESGryphons students and staff. Fantastic experience for our grade 4's.
Many of our young people walk into our schools with much lower emotional development than their chronological age due to chaos & adversity.
They struggle with self-regulation due to an overactive stress response/amygdala hijack/limbic escape.🧠🌱
