  A wonderful collaboration came to life last week as our Grade 10 Stage Design students shared their final projects with the Grade 12 Writer’s Craft class.

   

  Using original screenplays written by their senior peers as a creative springboard, the Stage Design students crafted a brilliant array of movie posters, costume sketches, and set designs.

   

  The showcase was a testament to our students' creativity and innovation—it was especially exciting to see how multiple designers brought unique visions to the same script.

  Grade 12 Artists Inspire

  Being able to express oneself and to communicate your ideas to society is the greatest achievement that the artist can attain. Through this creative act, they explore their humanity, test their resiliency and enrich the lives of others.

   

  Each year, the graduating class of art students continue to share their ideas through conceptual work, expand their horizons through their experimentations, and provide discourse through their discussions.

   

  May Art remain a part of your life wherever your future takes you. Let it uplift your soul and help you to realize your dreams. 

   

  Thank you to this year's GY Artists for sharing their work.

  By Jayne Wyvill Abubakar

  
  Since September, a dedicated group of CDS students has tirelessly built their legal skills, preparing to make their case at the recent York Region Judge’s Cup Competition. Last week, all that hard work paid off as the 2026 Mock Trial team set a stellar example of careful preparation and courtroom decorum.
