The Award is a national initiative of The Fred Hollows Foundation that acknowledges Year Six students who follow in Fred’s footsteps by demonstrating humanitarian values towards others.
Jason and Sarang were nominated by Deputy Principal Khaled Elhage, for showing empathy at all times and including all students in a compassionate way.
“Jason helps out other students in class without any hesitation. He has a calm and nurturing demeanour and mannerism,” Mr Elhage said.
“Sarang consistently follows all our school values.
“She always tries her best and offers help to other. She is always looking to challenge herself and loves learning.”
Founding Director of The Fred Hollows Foundation, Gabi Hollows congratulated more than 200 students from across the nation for their kindness, compassion and integrity.
Ms Hollows said it was “incredibly humbling” to read about what the students have been doing, “and I know that Fred himself would be so proud of the young humanitarians who have been honoured today”.
“The past 18 months have been tough for everyone, but especially for those of you whose schooling was interrupted by the pandemic,” she said.
