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!
