As a College we encourage our students to reflect these values in their daily interactions and we congratulate the following students who were recipients of the award in Term Two.

Sophie Halliday - For the virtue of Love

Sophie shows concern and love for all those whom she comes in contact with and is sensitive to the needs of others. Sophie recently ensured our three new students to Year 6 have felt supported and cared for. She has done this by regularly checking in, playing with them at recess and lunch so they are not alone, showing them around the college and helping with learning tasks. The value of love for the Spirit of Mary Aikenhead is shown daily by Sophie. She is kind, loyal, shows selflessness and sincere care to those around her. Sophie not only lives the Gospel value of Love, she also embodies those of hope, compassion and justice, embraced by Mary Aikenhead.

Freya shows the virtue of courage and determination daily, within her attitude and commitment to all aspects of school life. She has a positive can-do attitude which reflects on those around her.

Her attitude towards the game or outcome of the game never changed, she remained determined and supportive of her peers. Freya has shown excellent leadership skills throughout the year, she is regularly looked up to as a leader amongst her peers.
