YOUNG PEOPLE OF CHARACTER

There is so much to celebrate at Ivanhoe in 2022! It has been a year filled with rich learning and growth. Most importantly, it has been a year of connecting onsite together! As Ivanhoe Learners we value and celebrate difference. We believe that learning success comes in a variety of forms. Learning at Ivanhoe involves much more than a traditional curriculum. We aspire to develop Ivanhoe Learners, with character

The best thing about the final years of an Ivanhoe education was the sense of unity and family in the class of 2022. This family vibe was constructed through total inclusivity and familiarity between all students and all teachers. There were two key challenges I experienced during year 11 and 12 of the IB. They were academic self-belief and balance. However, through collaborating with my teachers and changing my mindset as well as implementing a weekly study schedule I was able to overcome these challenges. A young person of character is someone who believes in themselves, and further, someone who stays true to their internal values. The ‘character’ inside of the young person of character refers to a strength in being oneself in the whichever and whatever environment. This character also depicts someone who is not afraid to stick out and doesn’t feel obliged to conform to what may be seen as ‘cool’. By completing my last few years at Ivanhoe there’s no doubt my character has grown.

The best thing about Ivanhoe was the myriad of opportunities, allowing me to develop aspects of myself that will serve me well into the future. This was made possible due to the dedication of a talented and motivated team of teachers and mentors. This enabled me to build rich relationships with other students in a supportive and caring community. I have a tendency to be naturally conservative, being somewhat risk averse. However I learned that when I took a risk and was courageous enough to try something new and apply myself to that activity, I developed my skills and grew as a person, developing deeper relationships and gaining satisfaction and confidence from new achievements. This was mainly realised through the excellent Cadet Program at Ivanhoe as well as the brilliant Musical Theatre Program. A young person of character is someone who practices and displays the values of integrity, understanding, responsibility, and respect, in every aspect of their life. A young person of character also displays leadership and has the kindness and courage to make others in the community feel welcomed and included, even when it means that you have to step out of your own comfort zone to do so. I think that a young person of character is someone that you can rely on to volunteer their own time and resources into helping serve the community with a positive demeanour. Also, by helping others to gain confidence within themselves and shine you can become a better person yourself and further reinforce the content of your character.

attributes that enable each young person to have a positive influence upon their contemporary surrounding community and their future world. There are many, many stories of individual growth and great learning success, congratulations to the Class of 2022.

Cadet camps were a highlight of my final years at school. I was fortunate enough to be Head of Training and Assessment and played a part in planning the camps. Seeing the hard work come to fruition was really rewarding. I was able to make new friends, build upon past friendships and have fun. Cadet camps were a time I could get away from the stress of school and challenge myself, while also having fun with my friends and creating many unique memories. The two biggest challenges I faced were managing my time and coping with the stress of school. I was involved in many activities both in and outside of school. With the increase in workload for Year 12, it took time to get organised and figure out how to make everything work. With that, as well as it being my final year of school, I felt a lot more stress than usual. It took a bit to figure out the best ways to cope, but I owe my family, friends and teachers for helping me get through those challenges. A young person of character is hard to define with just one quality. If I had to, I would say a young person of character is someone that is willing to be true to themselves. Having the confidence to be unapologetically yourself is a quality I’ve always admired and is something easier said than done.

The best thing about my final years of school was the bond formed with my classmates going into the Senior Years. Having been through so much together and being such a small cohort, I found that we were always there for each other and made some of the best memories. The main challenge that I faced and overcame in my final years was finding a balance between school and personal life. I often found myself overwhelmed with schoolwork and needed a reminder to take time out for the things I loved as well. I believe a young person of character is one that is open minded and self-aware of their actions as well as their impact on others.
