  Seth has had a great year so far in P4. He is extremely well-mannered and is kind towards children and adults alike. Seth has a caring nature which he demonstrates daily by looking out for his classmates and younger children both in class and on the playground. He always puts others before himself.

  Seth works hard at every subject and his work is always presented beautifully. He tries his best with everything, showing particular aptitude for World Around Us and Numeracy.

  Aside from his academic achievements, Seth excels at sport. His participation and ability during PE and extra curricular sport is always excellent. He shows superb sportsmanship by including everyone in team sports. He is a leader on and off the pitch!

  Well done!
