This week during assembly, we recognized students selected by the grade-level teams for being students who embody the IB Learner Profile attribute of Principled. Below is the list of students and the words that were said about them by their teachers. 

Grade 6:

Ella Hagerty: This student is an excellent Scot! Their integrity shines through in their honesty and reliability, demonstrating a strong moral compass.. This student always tries their best and seeks support when needed. Kindness and thoughtfulness are evident in by their attentive listening and supportive teamwork.

 

Grade 7:

Mercedes Laub: This student embodies integrity and fairness in everything she does. She works hard and independently, never making excuses, and always takes time to reflect on how her actions affect those around her. Her willingness to put others first and connect with people in a positive, respectful way makes her a true example of principled leadership.

Jack McMillin: This Scot consistently demonstrates integrity and thoughtfulness in both his work and interactions with others. He recognizes the impact of his actions on those around him, showing kindness and fairness in his approach to everything he does. His dedication to producing thorough, intentional work and his commitment to truly learning from every lesson makes him a deserving recipient of the principled award

 

Grade 8:

Luke Ryan: New to the Scot community, this student quickly found a place among the top members of our school through his example of integrity, excellence, and kindness. His moral compass serves as a high bar for both himself and those around him. His teachers and coaches are continually impressed by his ability to not just meet that bar but to exceed it. 

Chelsea Pritchard: This grade 8 student is thoughtful and kind, and always approaches her work with integrity and diligence.  She is sensitive and aware, and her commitment to equity and justice extends to those around her in classes, in her activities, and in the school community.  She continuously grows as a learner because she looks first to herself if she struggles to see how she can improve, asks for help when she needs it, and does not claim that something is unfair if she does not achieve great success immediately.  She understands the value of perseverance and inspires those around her to do their best in every situation.
