In a panel hosted at TDSB head office on July 19, 2018, these Top Scholars shared their many hobbies, interests, and pursuits including overseeing the health and wellness group at the school (“Mind Over Matter”), running Bingo at a local nursing home, leading the STEAM team (science, technology, and math with art included), playing competitive soccer, and being active on Baycrest Hospital’s Youth Council. Each student has their own interesting perspectives on how they received their top marks and advice for younger students entering high school.

All are headed to different post-secondary institutions in September including the University of Toronto, McGill University, Dartmouth College, and the University of Waterloo.
