This week, we spotlight our sixth-grader Nina, who joined ISR kindergarten. Since Grade 1, Nina has shown academic excellence and her journey has been nothing short of exemplary, marked by unwavering dedication, tireless effort, and an innate ability to stay on track. Ms. Brand, Academic Head of Grades 5 and 6 says that, “Nina’s commitment to her studies has always been evident. From the early days of Primary School, she exhibited a work ethic that set her apart. No challenge was too daunting, and no task too demanding for Nina. It was evident from the outset that she possessed a rare combination of intellectual curiosity and a resilient spirit, making her a beacon of inspiration for her peers.  Beyond her academic prowess, Nina’s altruistic nature has left an indelible mark on the school community. She is always ready to extend a helping hand to her fellow students, going above and beyond to ensure everyone around her succeeds. Her willingness to assist others, coupled with a genuine kindness that knows no bounds, has made her a beloved figure among her classmates. Nina is not just a student; she is a role model. Her ability to balance academic excellence with a compassionate heart is a testament to her character. Whether it’s collaborating on group projects or offering guidance to a struggling classmate, Nina consistently demonstrates the qualities of a true leader. Congratulations, Nina, on being an exceptional student and an inspiration to us all. May your future endeavors be as bright as the light you have brought to our school community.”

In addition, Nina stands out for her creativity as her art teacher Ms. Schultz confirms. “She is very creative and she even participates in the Art and Crafts,(SEA/ Electives) program.” Nina’s versatility in her interests and her warm personality are impressive and ensure that all her teachers are not only enthusiastic about her, but also see her as a role model themselves. This also confirms her English teacher, Mr. Kubrick. “I have her in my English class, and she is an exemplary role model for her classmates. Both as a student and as an individual, Nina has been a positive force here at ISR.”
