Core requirements for success • Diligence • Do right • Ingenuity
Diligence A prerequisite of great accomplishment
Diligence • It does not take genius • Constant and earnest effort • Success is possible anywhere by anyone • Each success begins with a readiness to recognise problems and a determination to remedy them
Moral clarity • Ingenuity • A willingness to try • Always look for what more you can do
Do right • Our fight is to do what is right by our pupils even though what is right is not always easy or clear.
Do right • Set aside your ego • There is no reason we cannot aim for everyone to do better • Do what is right and do it now
Ingenuity • Character not superior intellect is what counts most
Ingenuity • A reflection on failure and a constant searching for new solutions • We need to do two things: measure ourselves and be more open about what we are doing
What’s on the horizon? • Go as far as you can see then see how far you can go
What are the three most significant challenges you anticipate facing over the next 18 months?
