Student Spotlight
Tennis had a great week last week! We would like to congratulate the following students:
The top two singles players are Caitlyn De Freitas and Dhruv Nair who won with solid 8-2 scores each. Our number two boys player, Mazen Saleh won a long, hard match with a score of 10-8 in a tie-breaker. Number three singles boy, Tariq Rajel, won his hard-fought match in a tie-breaker of 8-1. Excellent. Our number four girl's singles player, Jayna Poonoosamy, won with a solid 8-3 score. Her sister, Adiya, playing number 2 girl's singles barely lost in a tie-breaker of 1-7. Kirtanaa Krishnaswamy fought hard but lost to a former GAA player, Hannah, 4-8.
Joana Barata and Jayna P. Also fought hard with a fantastic comeback but lost their doubles 5-8. Priyanka Kannan and Andrea Yrigoyen had a very competitive match losing only 6-8.
It was a fantastic competition! Thank you Coach Cindy Beck!

100 Days of Being a Freshman
On February, 14th at 7.45am we will hold our very first "100 Days of Being a Freshman" event. This is a celebration for our grade 9 students in their first year of being in High School.
To celebrate this milestone, we will be providing a light breakfast for our Grade 9 students. During the breakfast, our Freshmen will make wishes for their future and these will be made into a collage that will be framed and hung in our High School. The school intends to showcase the collage at their graduation and/or prom in 2020.
