Taking on a different format this year with no presentation ceremony over Covid restrictions, the Auburn Review team is hand-delivering awards to the winning students at their schools today.
Auburn Review Manager George Dagher said the decision was made to forgo the general presentation night for the safety of the children, their parents and teachers but the line-up of winners was just as impressive as in previous years.
“The maturity of these award winners is well beyond their years, with all striving to make their dreams comes true while helping others on their way,” he said.
“We are recognising these young achievers as role models among their peers and hopefully, in the many years to come.
“They are a real credit to their teachers, their parents and themselves.”
Whether they excel in academic life, on the sporting field or in the playground, these award winners share the common traits of kindness towards others, a positive approach to life, a commitment to the task at hand and respect for all members of the community.
Auburn Public’s Ali Karimi has been described as: “Always prepared to assist those who require his support … he has a respectful and caring nature and he shows this through all of his daily interactions.”
Likewise Sydney Adventist School Auburn’s Arabella Roko is described as: “Reliable, trustworthy and a fantastic role mode.”
Granville Public’s Tommy Kerdmongkon is “diligent, determined and a well-mannered student who always strives to achieve his full potential academically”.
Now in its 40th year, Auburn Review School Citizenship Awards are made possible thanks to the unwavering support of longterm sponsors L J Hooker Auburn and Dooleys Lidcombe Catholic Club.
“The future certainly looks to be in some very capable hands and we congratulate all,” Mr Dagher said.
Future leaders win reward for efforts
FUTURE prime ministers and community leaders could be among the 20 outstanding primary school students who have been recognised in this year’s Auburn Review School Citizenship Awards.
