Congratulations to Scout – a fine and upstanding graduate!

Michelle Bentley, General Manager Hender Careers

 

In the spirit of celebrating graduations, application of effort to high standards of achievement, teamwork, endeavour, perseverance, a thirst for learning and personal development, good behaviour and a positive attitude, I commend to you my boy Scout! So proud of him. 

In his acceptance speech, he of course thanked his wonderful parents for their love and support!! So, we can also add gratitude to his growing list of skills and attributes.

The positive lessons from Scout just keep on coming!

But it’s still a work in progress for personal hygiene (house training) and responding when called, when engrossed by distractions.
