Grade 12 - Highlight - Choice #2 - Coaching Diving

This year I coached diving again for the Dolphins Dive Club and the Cruisers Dive Club. I was more involved; taking the kids to competitions, writing their lists, and registering them

Grade 12 - Highlight - Academics - Law

This year I took law 12 and I really enjoyed the course because it was new and taught in a university lecture style, which I thought was a nice change to everyday classes at Collingwood

Grade 12 - Highlight - Service - Encounter XXIV

This year I went as assistant rector on Encounter XXIII and as rector on Encounter XIV

Grade 12 - Highlight - Choice #1 - Applying to University

First term of this year was very stressful. Applying to schools, trying to keep grades up, and maintaining a balance between it all was a challenge. Applying to schools though was a highlight for me because for the first time I had a choice for my future and I could decide where I wanted to apply. I had seen all the schools before on tour so it was cool to be able to actually apply to them at this point in the year. I look forward to hearing back in the new year.

This is a photo of me at my top choice school, University of San Diego!

Grade 12 - Highlight - Academics - Calculus

This year I had to take calculus as a prerequisite for university applications, which I was not very happy about. Although I was not so keen on this subject, I worked hard to achieve the A I needed in first term for American schools, which I was very proud of since it took a lot of hard work on my part.

Grade 12 - Highlight - Athletics - Sports Day

The first annual House Sports Day was a highlight for me in Grade 12.  I participated in the long jump and 4x100 m relay with Mackenize house, we came second! I hope this tradition continues next year even when we are gone and graduated.

Grade 11 - Choice Highlight #3 - University Tours

This year I went on two university tours - one with the school to Eastern Canada and one to California with my Dad.  These trips really opened my eyes to what is out there and motivated me to do my best this year and next so I will be able to attend one of these schools. Some of my favourites included Western, Dalhousie University, University of San Diego, and UCLA.
