SPECIALIST CLASS AWARDS

MANDARIN Seniors	Harmony Week Award - As a whole cohort you have shown how you support and help each other to succeed. When recording your "About Me" speech in Mandarin, I often heard students offering to help others with using tech and practicing their pronunciation. It was also great to see when writing about friends, how happy everyone was to include nearly the whole class in their photo. You should all be very proud of how inclusive and caring you all are! Well done Seniors!
Visual Art Seniors	Creative Award for your courageous attempts at Linear Drawing. Often, we get caught up with making our drawings ‘perfect’ however, this was not about being precise and making a “good’ drawing. You were able to loosen-up and embrace risk which is hard to do. I am really proud of you all. Thank you everyone!
Performing Art Prep	Creative Award - for your acting skills that continue to grow from strength to strength! Your positive attitude towards learning new sounds, body movement and shape was delightful to be a part of during Performing Arts this week. Congratulations to our wonderful Preppies!!!
Performing Art Patrick Cusack	Rising Star Award - Patrick for your wonderful acting skills! You were able to fly around like a baby bird and softly tweet to help the audience guess exactly what you were acting as… Congratulations Patrick!
