Grade 8 Student Excels at Junior Nationals
Congratulations to Grade 8 student, Arjun Walia, for his outstanding performance at the Canadian National Junior High Public Speaking Championships held at West Point Grey Academy in Vancouver last weekend. His Top 18 finish was remarkable, as the majority of students competing were in Grade 9.
Arjun's Persuasive Speech on the dangers of the over-prescription of antibiotics was particularly well received and achieved fifth place. Thank you to his debating coach, Ms. Sagalina Doré, for accompanying him to the event.

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.
