On Friday 1st September 2017, Mr Howie led the P4-7 Assembly, continuing our 'Building Resilience' Health and Wellbeing focus by exploring Resilience Role Models. Mr Howie particularly focused on Teddy Roosevelt, engagingly telling the story of his fascinating, inspiring life and how he strove to overcome adversity and take on personal challenges. Mr Howie also highlighted links with some of the ten 'Be Resilient' toolkit strategies (from a City of Edinburgh HWB programme) that we will be exploring further this year. Pupils from P7A helped launch our annual P6 and P7 Junior Awards Scheme for Schools (JASS) and we celebrated recent pupil achievements.

10. Why have a ‘role model’?
In an elegant recent paper, Burgess (2016) found that Michelle
Obama's interaction with students at Elizabeth Garrett Anderson
School (including her visit to the school, meeting students in
Oxford and inviting a group to the White House) appear to have
caused a significant jump in results compared to other schools.
