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 students at our 37th Annual Student Awards of Excellence Ceremony held on Wednesday, April 9, 2025 at Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School in Oakville.
His Excellency, Most Reverend Douglas Crosby, OMI, Bishop of Hamilton offered prayers and blessings; and musical entertainment was provided by the Our Lady of Peace Catholic Elementary School Choir, under the direction of Linda Chong, accompanied by Steve Curto; and Pipe Major, Jeremy Federico.
