TFS - Canada's International School

TEACHER COMMENTS Messages from TFS Teaching Staff O ur teachers share a range of their observations about the development and achievements of our TFS Entrance Scholarship recipients over the past year: "She has always been an active participant in the classroom, whether in-person or online. She has developed great work habits, has learned to organize her time and materials and has been producing quality work all year. Always keeping her smile and positive attitude, despite all the challenges we had to face with online learning, she is resilient and optimistic. She has always demonstrated great effort and gratitude." "He continuously demonstrates superior work in Mandarin study, and excels in all four skills. He effectively expresses a wide range of ideas and feelings and communicates information in familiar and some unfamiliar situations. He did a great job on final evaluations by creating a Mandarin storybook." "It's a real pleasure to talk about this scholarship recipient. He is an exceptional student, both in terms of his excellent academic results and in his irreproachable attitude towards his work. He clearly wants to learn and to succeed academically, which he certainly does. I would also like to add that his behaviour is exemplary, as well as his willingness to serve the community. I have advised him to run in the September elections for the Citizens' Assembly. I really believe that the opportunity he was offered to study at TFS represents a significant opportunity for him, but that the opposite is also true: that TFS is lucky to welcome a student like him." "He achieved excellent results this final term, applying his new language skills to both his written assessments and oral evaluations. He consistently demonstrated excellent pronunciation and fluency when speaking in Spanish, and he also demonstrated a well-developed written expression evident in his performance task." "The scholar has become increasingly serious in his studies this year and has proven that he understands the expectations of his teachers. His commitment has become very satisfying and his grades are clearly at a good to very good level in most subjects. His behaviour and respect for the rules, both on campus and online, are very satisfactory and he will certainly continue to assert himself effectively in the years to come." "Since joining Grade 7 at the West Campus, the scholarship recipient has grown tremendously as a student. She is more organized, putting care and insightful thoughts into her work and using examples to support her writing. She is a happy and positive member of the class and made new friends easily." "He plays the viola with exceptional musicality and understanding of the stylistic features. He demonstrates a thorough understanding of reading the notes and accidentals on the alto clef and counting in various time signatures. Bravo!" 4 Impact Report: TFS Entrance Scholarship Program | February 2022
