• Principal’s Award

  Fri 08 Sep 2023

  Jessica P2

   

  The Principal’s Award this week goes to P2 student Jessica. Jessica has been working exceptionally hard so far since we have come back and she has really shown the way for all. 

   

  Jessica displays excellent manners every day and always puts her hand up to ask a question and participate. She is a great friend to everyone and is always ready for work. 

   

  Jessica also enjoys Numeracy and has super fun during some of the starter games the class have been playing before they begin classwork. 

   

  Jessica takes her time and ensures all of her work is neat and tidy. She loves to read and really enjoys quiet time on the mat to catch up on a book after she has completed her work. Jessica has made a fantastic start to P2.

   

  Well done!
