• Talk about the general and the……….
Dear ……….,
It has been a year now since we sat in the gazebo and had our conglom
wherein you all made choices of how you would like to manage your
year.
Little did we know that we would accomplish far more than we
anticipated. The year has challenged you all in every which way and
you have established a milestone for Riverside with the understanding
of how adolescents can be empowered to make choices that are worth
pursuing.
6. ……key highlights of the year that cover the
‘Doing Good and the Doing Well’..
Besides the academic challenges you faced squarely, we
saw you stretching yourselves during the making of ‘Artist
in Residence’, as ambassadors of Riverside in Mumbai or at
the rural exposure in Kutch, as football players or when
empathizing with cancer patients or the elderly in old age
homes!
It is with satisfaction that we can say that you all did GOOD
and you all did very well. Partnering with you all through
the year in various capacities has been a rewarding
experience for us.
7. Paragraph 3 - Personal
Summary of all the events, activities the child has
participated in – tone - applaud.
………your year in grade 9 has seen you do some remarkable stuff! I do think
the highlight of this year would be that of being awarded the ‘Most
Promising Speaker’ at the ‘Talking Gandhi Triathlon’ Series at Rajkot and
as a presenter and Ambassador of Riverside at the Aga Khan foundation.
Your contribution to the stories for the iDiscoveri textbook, playing the
part of Zasha in ‘Fragments’, being judged the player of the series in
football and the ability that you possess to mentor thoughtfully and
fruitfully be it dance (at the aProChevent ) has added layers to your
already versatile identity. What has really impressed us is that you never
used the excuse of ‘health’ to compromise on the quality or challenge of
the key stage 3 programme. It has been a pleasure to watch your
personality unfold day by day and now at the end of the year you clearly
stand out a winner!
8. Paragraph 4 – Specific strategies
• Strategies to implement for improvement –
tone – advisory
……..you have the ability to do well in anything you put your
mind to, but it is now up to you to see worth in your
abilities, be it in Hindi or Physics. Do continue as you have
towards the end of this year – more in control of your
emotions.
9. Paragraph 5 – Good Wishes
• Wishing good things – tone - optimistic
• All the best for the coming year and I am sure that you will
have new opportunities and new challenges that will ask you
to stretch yourself and accomplish that which you have not
before.
God Bless,
