Austin is a grade 12 student at Vista Virtual School. He was nominated for a Citizenship Award by teacher Joy Trick. 

Austin has proven himself to be a responsible and independent learner, consistently coming prepared with clear, focused questions for his teacher —a strong indication of the time and effort he dedicated to reviewing course material on his own. His thoughtful approach to learning highlights both his academic commitment and his personal initiative.

In his interactions with his teacher, Austin has shown a high level of respect and consideration. He makes the most of scheduled support times by coming prepared and ready to engage in meaningful discussion, demonstrating his appreciation for others’ time and expertise.

Dependable and mature, Austin is consistently present for scheduled phone and online sessions or communicates in advance if changes are necessary. He demonstrates a strong ability to manage his learning, follow directions, and stay on track with deadlines and expectations.

The school board is pleased to present Austin with the Citizenship Award in recognition of the positive contributions he makes in his school and community. 

Congratulations Austin!
