Each year, the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board Student Recognition Awards celebrate excellence in student leadership. Students are chosen by their principals and vice-principals for their demonstration of initiative, supported by the will to succeed, the dedication to finish what they started, and the commitment to achieve their personal best.
Congratulations to this year’s winner from Sir Guy Carleton Secondary School: Anwyn G.!
Anwyn has demonstrated resilience, achievement, and dedication to her learning. She has been a student in the General Learning Program for 7 years. Throughout her time at Sir Guy Carleton Secondary School, Anwyn has mentored her fellow classmates and helped facilitate relationship-building among her peers. She is committed to her learning, exceeds all expectations, and this year will be graduating with her Ontario Secondary School Diploma. Anwyn has participated in Youth Council Mental Health Initiatives, volunteered her time in the Coffee Cart Executive Committee, and was a student leader in Sir Guy Carleton's Toonie Tuesday fundraisers in support of the Education Foundation. Furthermore, she was the student manager of her class social enterprise, which successfully funded transition programming for other students. As a Sir Guy Carleton Secondary School ambassador, Anwyn’s leadership extends into the community. At her Co-Op placement, she was not only hired, but recognized as Front of the House Employee of the Year. Anwyn is deserving of this recognition for her gentle, kind, yet impactful student leadership.
