Headmaster's Commendations

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 has shown amazing growth throughout the year and I believe he is worthy of this Headmaster's Commendation.
