Foundation Citizen of the Term 2 2026

Congratulation Alice!

Alice is someone who lives and breathes our school values every day. She is the kind of student who makes our classroom a happier and more welcoming place simply by being herself. Alice has a quiet confidence and never seeks recognition for her achievements, simply doing her best because she loves to learn and help others.

From the very beginning of the year, Alice has embraced every opportunity and challenge with enthusiasm. She arrives at school each day ready to learn and excited to discover something new. Alice has developed wonderful learning behaviours and brings a genuine love of learning to everything she does. She asks thoughtful and interesting questions, listens carefully to others and always gives her best effort. Her curiosity and excitement for learning are a joy to see.

Alice is known for her kind and caring nature. She greets others with a warm smile, takes the time to check in on her classmates and is always willing to offer a helping hand. She has a beautiful way of making others feel included and valued, and she consistently sets a wonderful example of how to be a good friend and a respectful learner.

One of the qualities I admire most about Alice is how reflective she is. Whether she is thinking about her learning or navigating friendships, Alice is always striving to learn and grow. If she makes a mistake or experiences a problem with a friend, she takes responsibility, works hard to make things right and genuinely considers the feelings of others. Her willingness to reflect and learn from her experiences is something very special.

Alice also brings so much joy and creativity to our classroom. She loves to sing and dance and is always eager to get involved, skills that will certainly come in handy when concert time arrives. Alice is also a wonderful helper in our classroom and takes great pride in organising our pencil tubs each day, always completing the job with a smile.

Alice is a truly special member of our class. Her enthusiasm and commitment to always doing her best make her a very worthy recipient of this award. We are incredibly lucky to have Alice as part of our classroom community and are so proud of the outstanding person she is becoming.

Congratulations, Georgie!

It is my great privilege to present the 3/4 Citizen of the Term award to Georgie Pettigrew.

I know that standing up here in the spotlight is perhaps not where you would like to be, but today it is your turn to shine. Georgie, you are a delightful member of our learning community and someone who sets an impressive example for your peers. You consistently demonstrate our school values of Care, Respect, Excellence and Community, and you do so even when you think no one is watching.

You have such a caring heart and are always looking out for others. Whether it is collecting rubbish in the yard or seeking help for someone who needs support, you show genuine care through your actions.

I can always count on you to listen attentively, follow instructions and conduct yourself in a respectful manner. You treat others with kindness and consideration, making our classroom a better place to be.

Excellence is perhaps your greatest strength. You consistently apply yourself to all learning tasks and demonstrate remarkable persistence, never giving up when things become challenging. I have particularly admired your willingness to accept feedback and use it to improve your work and grow as a learner.

You are a valued member of our community, Georgie. It is wonderful to see you chatting with different staff members while they are on yard duty, supporting students who may not have someone to play with, and even staying behind after the class has left to pick up a misplaced jumper or hold the door open for others.

Georgie, thank you for the positive contribution you make to our school each and every day. We are incredibly proud of the kind, respectful and hardworking person you are. Congratulations on this well-deserved award.
