Resilient White Ibis

We can learn a lot about being resilient from the Australian White Ibis. They keep on going when conditions are tough and try new ideas to solve problems.

“Resilience is when we face challenges and don’t give up. It’s persisting when things get tough and working together when we need help. It’s all about giving things another go, even if they didn’t work the first time.”
– O’Sullivan Beach Primary School Student

“We can be like the Ibis – keep trying, keep adapting, and keep going, no matter what challenges come our way.”
– O’Sullivan Beach Primary School Student
