Friday saw the launch of this year’s Be More Griffen programme in Lower School. First years spent the morning in a series of lessons designed to help them develop their organisational skills, think about how they approach the process of learning, and analyse their own performance through the use of The 4 Rs and The Grow Model. They were then joined in ther afternoon by the second years for an inspiring talk from Paralympian Talan Skeels Piggins. Talan’s story of how he overcame a motor accident that left him paralysed from the chest down to compete in skiing at the Winter Paralypics and become both a World Champion motorcyclist and the GB British Masters Champion in barebow archery really gave the boys lots to think about and showed them that anything is possible with the right mindset.
