    Failure and overcoming failure should be viewed as a healthy part of learning. Our boys need to learn to accept failure and setbacks and actively make plans to address them. Boys with learning differences and other challenges who demonstrate resilience daily have a lot to teach our boys. Including and supporting a diverse group of learners within classrooms promotes the development of the skills, qualities and character being contemplated in the portrait of a graduate. Reflection on the admissions process, the use of standardized testing, allocation of resources to academic support and the individual learner is needed. What behaviours and outcomes are we going to reward? Do the best students and learners have the best grades? Grades, while important, are only one measure of success.
