Hannah embodies the school motto of “Be Kind, Work Hard.” It has been the guiding principle in both her academic and extracurricular endeavours. Throughout her time at Armbare, Hannah has been dedicated to fostering inclusivity and promoting positive change for fellow classmates and younger learners alike. Albeit implementing a new initiative such as “Building Compassionate Leaders” her participation as Prefect and subsequent engagements or the nurmerous in and out school club and initiatives, Hannah is actively engaged in making a positive change for others. No matter the task, Hannah does everthing with 100% effort, never hesitates to mentor, deligate or ask for help - attributes of true leadership.
Social justice and humanitarian are keen areas of interest. Hannah has been a constant voice advocating for action to halt unjust or unfair treatment of others through her involvement in Amnesty International. She mentor and engages with younger students at the school as a tutor, a club leader sharing the passion for STEM, and leads assembly and house oreintated activities. Each summer Hannah has traveled to a different part of the world volunteering her time, service, skills and cultural exchange to the betterment of others. Hannah is action-orientated, will be the first to roll up her sleeves and do what needs to be done. I cannot think of a student more fitting to be classified as a “Difference Maker.”
Has spearheaded several in and out school initiative raising awares and funding for non-porfit organizations. Tutors younger students in French, creator of the STEM club, beyond being co-president of Prefects, is also design chief for yearbook. A club of passion is Amnesty International that expanded to a school-wide annual initiative. This past summer travelled with Putney to Costa Ricaworking with the Community Association in an array of activities ranging from painting buildings, to building tables, refurbishing a kitchen all the while, engage in cultural exchange.
