I am delighted to nominate Kurtis Barrott for the Rotary
Primary School Encouragement Award. Kurtis has
demonstrated exceptional growth in various facets during his
time at Marysville Primary School.
When Kurtis first joined our school, his learning journey had
been notably challenging. With the opportunity, however, for
a fresh start and continued support from our dedicated team,
Kurtis has exhibited remarkable progress and development.
He has shown a commendable commitment to self-
improvement and a resilient attitude toward overcoming
obstacles. Kurtis has displayed a significant transformation in
his behaviour, illustrating increased tolerance and
understanding in social interactions, and demonstrating an
ability to acknowledge and rectify mistakes with genuine
remorse.
Academically, Kurtis has continued to develop steadily. He
works hard to stay focused on set tasks, asking questions and
joining in with class discussions. He has developed an
understanding of how important it is to work as a team and
has formed numerous meaningful friendships due to the
increased care and respect that he has shown to others.
Kurtis' journey at our school serves as a testament to his
resilience and determination to succeed, despite previous
challenges. I firmly believe that Kurtis is a deserving
candidate for the Rotary Primary School Encouragement
Award, and I am confident that he will continue to thrive and
inspire others with his determination and positive attitude.
