Spotlight On Our Student Yara

This week, we are proud to spotlight our exceptional eleventh-grader, Yara, who has been standing out at ISR since joining in 2018. Yara’s journey at ISR has been marked by continuous growth and impressive achievements, culminating in her recent appointment as the SLC Head Prefect for this school year. Her SLC Coordinators, Ms. Bennet and Ms. McGee have great things to say about Yara.

“The Student Leadership Council is excited to honor the new Head Prefect for this year, Yara of Grade 11, for the ISR Student Spotlight.  Since she was eligible, Yara has always committed time to being a prefect for the SLC.  Her energy and commitment led her to be elected as the Deputy Team Leader of the Discipline Department in Grade 9 and the Team Leader of School Spirit in Grade 10.

Last year, her engagement outside of the classroom, helped her direct her team in organizing the monthly ISR School Spirit Days, but also in collaborating with other departments to help the team successfully run campaigns and events.  Our Co-Head Prefects from 2023-2024, Ema and Victoria of Grade 12, add, “We are delighted for Yara to be the Head Prefect this year. Last year, we had the pleasure of working with Yara, where she contributed unwavering devotion and creativity to the SLC community, as well as demonstrate her ability to work with a team and delegate tasks. Yara is a dedicated and diligent leader of SLC, and we are confident in her role as a Head Prefect. We are eager to see her meaningful changes make an impact!”

Yara is also an excellent student inside of the classroom and has always made time for her academic commitments a priority.  Her Academic Coordinators are pleased that she has been elected to this role, so she can continue to lead by example in balancing her schoolwork with extracurricular activities.

As SLC Advisors, we know that this will be a year of innovation and impact with Yara guiding our team, and we can’t wait to share the coming events each department has planned.  Keep your eye on the SLC!”

As Yara embarks on her role as Head Prefect, the ISR community eagerly anticipates the innovative ideas she will bring to the school. Her ability to balance academic excellence with leadership responsibilities serves as an inspiration to her peers and younger students alike. We are very proud to spotlight Yara, 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!
