Atayala Awards

We are honoured to present the first winners of the Atalaya Awards: Congratulations to these four students for their outstanding achievements!

Elza Pineux, Atalaya Academic Excellence Award in Multilingualism. 

Elza is an extremely diligent and persevering student who joined our school last year with no knowledge of either of the school’s two main languages, English and Spanish, as her mother tongue is French. Instead of being an obstacle, this became a challenge for Elza. It was not long before she was fully adapted to the Spanish education system, and her determination and dedication led her to successfully complete the academic year, passing all subjects, including Spanish Language and Literature.

Cintia Ledesma, Atalaya Good Citizenship Award

Cintia stands out for her sense of fellowship, her enthusiasm for learning, and her sense of civic and academic responsibility.

In addition, she demonstrates a strong commitment to high ethical principles.

Nina stands out at our school thanks to her generosity and excellent team spirit. She constantly offers her help to both teachers and classmates.

We are very proud of her.

Olivia stands out for her excellent behaviour in class, being an exemplary classmate who is always willing to help.

Her steady progress has made her an outstanding student, showing not only her dedication to learning, but also her sense of humour which contributes to positive relationships with her peers.

Ignacio Luna Medina, Good Citizenship Award
