For being nominated by his peers and thought of by myself as a clear winner of this week’s Community award.

Later during the session he saw a peer struggling to understand what to do. Harry got all the required papers, sat down and explained a strategy and how to tackle the problem. He did this in a clear, empathetic and caring manner. I am so proud to see Harry supporting others and challenging himself.
