Middle & Senior School Exams: What To Expect
This afternoon, students from grades 9-12 participated in a study skills workshop “Unlocking your Brainpower-Strategies for Success”, hosted by our Student Services Department. Each student took part in four sessions focusing on different study strategies. The day culminated with a special guest speaker; Dr. Christine Lay who shared with the students how their brains, sleep, and healthy habits can be optimised going into exam time.
This workshop is a kickstart to the SSC’s exam support offered to students this month. The following “Preparation for Exams” provides more information to support your children during exams.

Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
