Our star of the week last week was Gabriela, for her excellent story writing in English.

Values Champion 

Alex is our values champion for consistently displaying the school moto of HOPE. He has produced an excellent piece of independent writing in English, but he also has helped one of his friends, who finds the classroom a little challenging at times. He is an excellent friend, always helping those around him and asking me if there are any jobs he can help with.
