The Lift Her Up award recognises students who display Compassion, Courage, or Confidence during Term One. Congratulations to the following students.

1. Indigo Hill

Indigo was nominated for her confidence, compassion, and courage. She isn’t confident in the way that she is boastful in her actions or words, she’s confident in herself and her ability to make people smile. She has an outstanding sense of humour that lights up the room and makes everyone around her feel warm.

She constantly goes out of her way to make people feel loved. The way that she spreads her compassion is in the way she gives her time and attention – she’s an excellent listener when you need someone to chat to and always speaks extremely highly of the people she loves.

She shows her courage everyday as part of her morning routine – arriving at school, walking all the way over to the year 12 area to drop off school bags and having to face Amy Kampe head on.

2. Poppy Noonan

Poppy has demonstrated Compassion to everyone from peers to teachers, truly demonstrating what it means to be a Stuartholme Girl.

She is a kind friend and always willing to help out anyone. Her calm, happy nature is always appreciated by everyone around her and she’s always willing to help out the younger girls. Everyone would agree that she is a sweet, loving and compassionate young woman. She is loved by everyone around her.

3. Annie King

Annie was nominated for her courage. She’s not one to show it, but she perseveres through tough times in her life without blinking an eye or letting it show. Her courage often goes unnoticed because of her infallible composure, but it’s a testament to her that she puts a brave face on and carries on with her life regardless of what is happening. It takes a special kind of courage to do this kind of thing, but Annie King is a prime example.

4. Catherine Katter

Catherine displays confidence by working on the “Lord Mayor’s Environmental Youth Leadership Project.” She represented Stuartholme at this event, showing many signs of confidence and leadership through all her hard work and determination. She takes a positive and confident approach to this project and shows great skills of a leader.

This girl is also one of the genius’ behind the new Stuartholme Pantry Project for people in need (to be launched in term 2). She is unfailingly kind and generous in sharing her ideas and talents.

5. Serafina Bird 

Serafina shows both confidence and courage. This student is someone who goes above and beyond and shows confidence to all her classmates and teachers.  She is always a helping hand with-in the classroom and will always have your back. Her courage is unmatched and throughout the term, her strength has truly been a gift to watch.

6. Lucy Hedberg

The nominator wrote, “I believe this girl has demonstrated the 3 C’s through her captaincy of our team this term. With her kindness, empathy and humour she made me, and every AFL girl feel included and empowered to try our hardest and have fun whilst we do it. I’ve never played AFL before, yet she was right there to cheer me on both on and off the field. She brought the positive vibes and kept the stu spirit alive. Not only does she show compassion for her team members, but she shows it to her coaches, being the first to put up her hand to help with pack up and makes the extra effort to really thank her coaches. I believe Lucy Hedberg truly earns this award as she’s not only a great team member but she’s also a great friend. Everyone needs a lucy in their life.”
