Every year, the OCDSB Student Recognition Awards celebrate students who have demonstrated initiative, the will to succeed, the dedication to finish what they started, and the commitment to achieve their personal best. Congratulations to Austin Diamond, who is one of this year’s Student Recognition Award recipients!
Austin is a very resilient and self-aware student. His perseverance towards his goal of attending postsecondary studies in Philosophy, and potentially Law, have inspired his fellow students and their teachers at the Adult High School. As a learner, Austin consistently contributes to in-class conversations with concrete examples that encourage critical thinking among his classmates, and he actively encourages them to question and learn before passing any judgement. Austin believes strongly that one must approach a topic with healthy skepticism in order to better understand the material. A reflective individual, he continues to reflect upon his own actions and understandings of where he fits within society. His patience, encouragement, and open-minded approach toward learning has had such a positive impact on those who are fortunate enough to work with him. Congratulations and well done, Austin!
