Pride of Guernsey - 'A young person with a bright future'
ONE of the most diligent and hard-working Year 11 La Mare de Carteret High School students has been nominated for the Butterfield-sponsored Young Achiever of the Year award.
Assistant head teacher Dan Cleary said Soreia Almeida has experienced the most incredible year of change and progress.
'Soreia came in to see the staff on our training day in September 2015 and announced that she was going to show everyone what she was really capable of achieving and she has delivered on that every step of the way,' he said.
Mr Cleary said he had seen the 16-year-old rise from a challenging academic year in 2014-2015 to become one of the most diligent and hard-working students in Year 11.
'It is rare to see a student express their desire to change, show the will to continue this process and to gain the rewards for their efforts. Soreia has managed all three of those things and has made herself into a young person with a bright future. We are proud to have shared her journey at La Mare de Carteret High School,' Mr Cleary said.
