Clockhouse Weekly Wow

Here is last week's Weekly Wow and as usual there were a lot of things to 'wow' about last week.

Time to CELEBRATE - Value Champion Alert!

We are very excited and pleased to share with you our next Clockhouse Value Champion of 2025-2026!

A huge congratulations to

Alfie C (New Zealand)

who has earned the Excellence Champion Award for 2025-2026!

This student shows excellence in everything he does. His commitment to his learning throughout his whole time at Clockhouse has been admirable and I am proud of how far he always pushes himself to be the best that he can be. 

 Scarlett H (New Zealand)

who has earned the Nurture Champion Award for 2025-2026!

I am incredibly proud of this student for how nurturing she has become to others. Despite some of her nerves, she has begun to push herself to help and support those around her, both in the classroom and in the playground. I am proud of how far she has come and how much effort she is putting in. 

 Alfie B (India)

who has earned the Community Champion Award for 2025-2026!

This person has worked very hard and given up his own time to support younger members of his Martial arts class.  He has been helping to teach other children the correct skills for some time and last week he was officially appointed as a junior instructor!  This has been quite a step out of his comfort zone but he has shown resilience and determination.  I know that his family are very proud of him and all of us in class India are very proud too!  Well done Alfie!

 Naba H (India)

who has earned the Excellence Champion Award for 2025-2026!

This member of our class shows excellence in everything she does .  She is polite, respectful and kind to the adults and  her classmates at all times.  She takes pride in her learning,  completes every task to the best of her ability and responds to feedback positively and effectively.  She has particularly impressed me recently with her resilience and perseverance in maths, completing extra work outside of school and pushing herself in class to achieve the best possible results.  I feel so lucky to have her in my class, she brightens my day so often with her kind and caring ways. I am so proud of you Naba, you are fantastic!

 Charlie C (Brazil)

who has earned the Respect Champion Award for 2025-2026!

Charlie consistently demonstrates outstanding respect by always being polite and doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.

 Aaila A (Brazil)

who has earned the Learning Champion Award for 2025-2026!

Aaila shows remarkable resilience and dedication to her learning. She always makes a strong effort to improve her work, especially in her writing.

A huge well done from everyone at Clockhouse - wear your Values Champion Badge with pride!
