Today we explored The Big Question "What is confidence, and when does confidence turn into bravery? Our amazing staff and our legendary Bower Grove Banana Man shared stories of when they've stepped out of their comfort zones and shown real courage. One of our favourite quotes came from Banana Man "I was brave when I took a BIG risk and tried new fruits that weren't bananas!" We wrapped up with a wonderful reminder that bravery isn't about being fearless, it's about taking that first step even when you're nervous. A huge congratulations to our Golden Duck winners this week... SQUIRRELS!
