Spotlight On Our Student Silvain

This week, we are excited to shine the spotlight on our fifth-grader, Silvain. Silvain joined ISR in 2022 and has quickly become a valued member of our school community. Known for his curiosity and dedication, Silvain approaches every challenge with enthusiasm and determination.

Silvain was nominated for the Student Spotlight by his teacher, Ms. Codina. She says, “Since Term 2, Silvain has transformed into a gifted writer and oral reader. He writes texts well beyond his years, has a broad vocabulary, and demonstrates passion for his work. He performs what he has written with confidence, captivating and entertaining his listeners. Watching his transformation has been so rewarding; it’s truly lovely to see him blossom and build his confidence. He’s kind, helpful, and respectful, and always demonstrates integrity. His grades in all subjects are outstanding. He is a joy to teach and brightens every classroom. We are truly blessed to have him in our class.”

Mr. Grubelic, Silvain’s Computing teacher, adds, “I can always depend on Silvain to go above and beyond in Computing. He is studious, patient, and collaborates well with others, producing excellent and thoughtful output in whatever program we are working on. Silvain was also one of the first students to submit his Python code for this year’s Astro Pi: Mission Zero project—in other words, his code is going to run on a Raspberry Pi computer on the International Space Station orbiting Earth later this year! Quite literally out of this world! Keep up the awesome work, Silvain!”

Silvain’s time at ISR highlights his dedication and enthusiasm for learning. His growth as a student and individual is evident in the positive contributions he makes to the classroom.

We are proud to spotlight Silvain as one of ISR’s many outstanding students!

The ISR Student Spotlight Project aims to highlight one of our students from the ISR-Community every Friday, who embodies our guiding principle “We Enable Great Minds and Strong Characters” by consistently surpassing themselves. Whether through outstanding academic achievements, exceptional dedication, or remarkable character traits – we take pride in having already showcased hundreds of students – and there is more to look forward to every week!
