Updated: 5 days ago
On Friday, April 12, at the Catholic Education Centre, the TCDSB celebrated International Women's Day 2024.
Members of the Board, and Senior Staff joined teachers and students (from both Elementary and Secondary Schools) for “CELEBRATE WOMEN 365”.
The audience was delighted to watch student's creative performances in music, dance, and oral speaking.
Three sessions of “Circle Talks” led by guest Facilitators enabled students to learn about opportunities for women to use their talents for the good of society.
The “Ode to Mary” was a beautiful, prayerful tribute to Mary the Mother of God, a wonderful role model for young women.
Sister Evanne Hunter IBVM was invited to present the “Sister Evanne Hunter Young Women in Leadership Award” given annually by TCDSB to two graduating students: Caterina Galego (Grade 8, Sts Cosmas and Damian), and Victoria Ndoja (Grade 12, St Patrick)
This was a wonderful celebration of the talents of young people and a learning experience that highlighted the need to empower young women to take a leading role in society and make our world a better place for all citizens of the world and our Common Home, the earth.
