8.4C	Jeremiah Muir	Jeremiah has demonstrated many of the IB Learner Profiles this year, in particular, being Principled and balanced. He is an integral member of the 8C Homeroom. His friendly nature, coupled with his consideration for others, allows him to work well with all members of our class. Jeremiah has persevered with his studies this year, recognises the flaws in his learning and finds the means to overcome them. Watching Jeremiah work on the propulsion component of his Questacon "Make, Float, Move" project was quite extraordinary. He should be very proud of his effort and accomplishments this year, and continue to keep up the good work!

Jolyon embodies the IB learner profiles of "thinker" that is evident in the work he produces across many of his subject areas. He endeavours to expand his knowledge and will actively seek out ideas to enhance his growth as an inquirer, enhancing his ability to communicate his ideas to a variety of audiences. Jolyon has shown amazing growth throughout the year and I believe he is worthy of this Headmaster's Commendation.

Andreas is a credit to himself and his family and is a worthy recipient of a Headmaster's Commendation.
