Student Latisha Miskin was the school’s April awardee for being a “friend to all”, consistently demonstrating inclusion and accepting and respecting all differences, Ms Parkes said.

“She was so excited, she had a great big smile on her face and did a few dance steps on her way to receive the award,” she said.

Latisha was given a certificate, badge and small stationary pack on parade.
