PE	Paige	Alfie Wi	Academic Achievement	Alfie was an absolute standout during both the Lightning Premiership Volleyball and EDEC Soccer events. While his skill and effort on the field were outstanding, what impressed me most was the way he lifted everyone around him. He constantly encouraged his teammates with positive words, shared thoughtful ideas during play, and demonstrated genuine leadership throughout the day. Alfie led by example, showed great sportsmanship, and played with confidence and determination. He should be incredibly proud of the way he represented both himself and Menzies Creek; he truly made a positive impact on every game he played.
