LITERACY AWARDS RECOGNISE TENACITY The English Department’s Literacy Awards were held in the Library on Wednesday afternoon, at which students were recognised for displaying tenacity in their studies in English this year. One student from each Year 9 and Year 10 English class was presented with the award and a book by Year 10 Associate Dean Ms Selina Hundley and Literacy Co-ordinator and Year 12 Associate Dean, Miss Aleishia Orange. “Research has shown that tenacity, or what is commonly referred to as 'grit' (determination, passion and perseverance), contributes more to success than talent or IQ do,” said Miss Orange. “Success is not a straight line. Real success comes from what we learn from the challenges and setbacks, and through continuing to persevere despite these hardships.” Congratulations to all the students who received awards at this event.
