Student Awards of Excellence

Each year, the 嫩芽视频 (HCDSB) celebrates exceptional students across our school district at the Annual Student Awards of Excellence Ceremony.

This year, we recognized and celebrated students at our 35th Annual Student Awards of Excellence Ceremony on Monday, March 27, 2023.

The ceremony took place at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Secondary School in Milton. His Excellency, Most Reverend Douglas Crosby, OMI, Bishop of Hamilton offered prayers and blessings; and musical entertainment was provided by the St. Francis Xavier School Choir, under the direction of Ms. Caruana.
