The Praise Wall: Week 10
Xander Hargreaves
Last week the school had a temporary issue with the email accounts which affected students and staff from accessing remote learning platforms. Xander quickly worked out a way to overcome the problem and spent time making a brilliant guidance video for his fellow students on how to log into their school emails using an alternative method, which you can view below.
Xander has demonstrated great innovation, skill and above all, kindness. His dedication to helping others with a technical issue like this was marvellous!
The school feels extremely proud of Xander! Thank you!
