Service Learning Awards THIS YEAR, our students poured their hearts into the School’s service learning programs, with awards recipients amassing nearly 8,500 cumulative hours of service. While the service mandate at TCS extends beyond the Ontario curriculum expectation of 40 hours, 67 students earned at least double that standard, with 32 Bronze (80+ hours of service), 23 Silver (120+ hours) and 12 Gold or Distinction (200+ hours) awards presented during the virtual Co-curricular Awards ceremony in May. Six students earned Gold awards this year: first-time recipients Zoe Fingas, Kyle Munns and Kaylie Tsang; and repeat recipients Aya Al-Ali, Grace Lu and Aishwarya Rajesh Krishnan. 30 I A View from the Hill
Students holding stewardships, in some cases in multiple areas at the School, were recognized for their commitment, with 13 students earning their steward tie for the first time, and five students recognized as repeat recipients. And our peer mentors for each Senior School house were also honoured. The service learning portion of the ceremony also included two special awards: the Armour Memorial Prize for yearbook editor went to Sam Bliemel; and the Pat Moss Society Award, which signifies a student who embodies the mission of “youth helping youth,” was presented to Natasha Pinto.
