		<description><![CDATA[At Almond Hill, we believe &lsquo;Learning Behaviours&rsquo; help prepare our children with the skills to help them adapt to the future challenges they will face in an ever-changing world. Children who are inspired learners have the confidence to recognise that by working hard and focusing on learning these skills, they can achieve success.

The way we describe our learning behaviours change as the children progress from the lower school to the upper school, however the behaviours stay the same. Our learning behaviours are outlined below along with the key attributes we ask the children to consider within their learning.

We actively promote the learning behaviours within the school and encourage you to do so at home and whilst in the wider community.

				Marvellous mistakes &ndash; it&rsquo;s okay to make mistakes and have another go,
				Try on my own but know where to find help.
