This was entirely her own initiative. She noticed when Oliver was unsure or on the edges of activities and responded calmly and thoughtfully, helping him feel part of the group without drawing unnecessary attention to him.\nKaterina adapted activities so Oliver could take part in ways that suited him. She used gestures, modelling and patient waiting to communicate, showing an understanding that communication can take many forms. She listened carefully to others\u2019 ideas and focused on what would work best for Oliver, rather than on her own preferences. Her openness and respect helped guide the group and created a supportive atmosphere for everyone involved.\nShe demonstrated strong initiative and collaboration by encouraging others to include Oliver and by working positively with her peers. Katerina respected group decisions, shared responsibility and consistently prioritised the wellbeing of the group. When plans needed adjusting, she was flexible and willing to try different approaches, showing problem solving skills and confidence in unfamiliar situations.\nKaterina also showed resilience and persistence. When communication was challenging or when activities became busy and noisy, she remained patient and positive. She did not give up when inclusion required extra effort, instead adapting her approach and continuing to support Oliver throughout the event.\nThis learning moment reflects Katerina\u2019s developing sense of positive personal and social identity. She acted responsibly, humanely and with tolerance, demonstrating values that contribute to a respectful and inclusive school community. Her actions showed that leadership does not always come from giving instructions, but from noticing others and responding with care.\nThis was a meaningful example of learning in action, where empathy, responsibility and inclusion were demonstrated naturally in a real life context.\n            <\/li>\n                     <li class=\"wpuf-field-data wpuf-field-data-dropdown_field\">\n                                    <label>Disposition:<\/label>\n                                Initiative            <\/li>\n                    <li class=\"wpuf-field-data wpuf-field-data-dropdown_field\">\n                                    <label>Indicator for Initiative:<\/label>\n                                Engages in actions to protect and improve the environment             <\/li>\n        <li class=\"iscu_badge_field\"><table style=\"width:100%\">\n  <tr>\n    <td style=\"width:40%; text-align: left;\"><\/td>\n    <td style=\"width:60%; text-align: center;\"><b>Badge name: Champion of change<\/b><\/td>\n  <\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table style=\"width:100%\">\n  <tr>\n    <td style=\"width:40%; text-align: left;\"><b>Badge<\/b><\/td>\n    <td style=\"width:60%; text-align: center;\">\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boostbadges.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/21.png\" style=\"width:300px;height:300px;\">\n    <\/td>\n  <\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/li>            <li class=\"wpuf-field-data wpuf-field-data-textarea_field\">\n                                   <label>Teacher&#039;s Recommendations:<\/label>\n                               Katerina consistently shows care for others.
