Our students are Mitchell Firebirds. They tell us that being a Mitchell Firebird means being inclusive, caring for others and embracing the wealth that comes from living in a multi-cultural community. It means having a growth mindset. It also means being aware of one’s feelings and being able to calm down even in the face of adversity.
