George Quarcoo - Secondary

Nominated by: Jackie Goodall

While sitting with my grandson Colyn last week he was very excited telling me about his new friend. 'Grandma he’s my best friend in the world'. We go running, climbing, play pretend games and we hang out together all the time and we just do really fun stuff. Shortly after that a young man came to my table and asked if," Colyn was ready to go?" I asked who he was and Colyn replied Nana this is my best friend George. George explained he is Colyn's mentor. I have asked other staff about George and have heard some wonderful things about his academic and athletic achievements. I would like to Thank George for all the wonderful things he is doing for Colyn. George is a fine example of all the Character Traits we have been trying to instil in our students for the last few years and proof that the mentor program is working.
