Narrative:

My student was involved in an [incident] during the landing phases of flight. My student was the sole occupant of the aircraft at the time. The aircraft was a cessna 152 in its flare for landing. The aircraft was making its second landing; to a full stop; after a local solo flight and completing one touch and go and a lap around the traffic pattern immediately before. The aircraft bounced several times before the nose gear collapsed beneath it and slid to a stop shortly after; resting on its nose with its tail in the air. This likely occurred due to incorrect actions being taken to correct for the effects of the initial bounce while attempting to land. This could have been mitigated by executing a go-around after recognizing the significance of the 'balloon' after the first bounce and deciding to make another pass.
