Marli received the Hastings Hero Award last term.
The citation read: “Earlier this term a Year 1 boy was feeling overwhelmed and unsure what to do. Marli was seen approaching the boy with compassion and proceeded to help him, making sure he knew what to do. Because she showed initiative, the boy went from feeling worried to feeling safe.”
Marli was congratulated on being the perfect example of a supportive and kind student who showed her peers how to bring people closer together.
