Students Achieve Duke of Edinburgh Bronze & Silver Awards
On Monday, Mr. Liggett and Ms. Castellan recognized nine of our students participating in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award program for achieving Silver and Bronze Award levels.
As one of Canada's most recognized youth development programs, the Duke of Edinburgh's Award aims to encourage young people to take on new challenges, set goals and "take control of their lives and their futures." Within its three levels of Bronze, Silver and Gold, there are four main sections to complete a minimum number of hours in - skill development, community service, physical recreation, and the undertaking of an adventurous journey.
Max McGoldrick '25 and Zhi Wei Zhang '25 received their Silver Award and Deven Amarnath '26, Dylan Guerra-Jain '27, Liam Gunning '27, Colson Ladouceur '27, Dylan Matsui 27, Leah Shenishevska '27 and John Totera '27 received their Bronze Award. Congratulations to all of our students for pursuing this badge of achievement!
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.
Founded in 1972, The Country Day School is a co-educational private school offering programs in JK-12 and located on 100 acres north of Toronto in King.
