Scholastic achievement is an important part of any school, and that includes Robert F. Hall Catholic Secondary School in Caledon East.
The school took an evening to recognize that recently with the annual Achievement Awards Night.
The evening saw more than 240 students recognized for making the Honour Roll last year, with averages of at least 80 per cent. There were also presentations of achievements awards in various subjects, as well as individual acknowledgements of excellence.
“It’s truly a privilege to be among such committed and hard-working individuals,” observed teacher Diane Melanson, who was MC for the evening.
“Hard work and commitment are important factors in student success,” Student Council President Damien Houston observed.
Superintendent of Schools Tammy-Lynne Peel was on hand to offer congratulations on behalf of the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board.
Principal Tom Wisnicki called the awards night “one of my most favourite evenings of the year.”
“You look pretty good,” he told the award recipients. “You’re all shined up.”
“You’ve put in hard work,” he added. “You’ve put in commitment.”
“Use the talents that God gave you, because that’s what they’re there for,” he urged, also telling the students to keep working hard, both for themselves and the betterment of others.
Marissa Loiacono was recognized with the highest overall average in Grade 9 at the recent Achievement Awards Night at Robert F. Hall Catholic Secondary School, while Victoria Tucci was tops in Grade 11. Jennifer Ryu, who had the top Grade 10 average, was absent.
Ashley Sidhu, Raquel McNulty and Emily Calabrese were presented with the Spirit Awards for Grades 9, 10 and 11 respectively.
