Dechlan is always well prepared for his classes, and is willing to ask for help if he is unsure. I have been impressed by his positive attitude towards learning and I am sure that this will continue in everything that he does. Dechlan is able to work independently and in small groups equally well and is quite prepared to share his ideas and opinions with others. During the time that I have known Dechlan I have found him to be a thoughtful, polite and well-presented student. He clearly models the school values of Pride, Respect and Responsibility in all his actions. I thoroughly recommend him and wish him well for the future.
