Congrats to our 2023 Grads!
On June 23, 2023, we had the wonderful opportunity to celebrate our Grade 8 and 12 Graduates, in front of Chisholm Academy faculty, family and friends, in a beautiful setting at St. Joseph’s Banquet and Conference Centre in Oakville. This was a day of celebration and reflection—a day that marked the culmination of our graduates’ hard work, dedication, and growth.
This celebration included an eloquent introduction by our Master of Ceremonies, Mr. Tollefsrud, followed by some reflections, congratulations and words of advice from our Director, Dr. Howard Bernstein. Our graduate award winners were then recognized for all of their achievements by various staff, including our MC, Mr. Tollefsrud, our Vice Principal, Mr. Schnarr, and our Associate Director, Mr. Bernstein, amidst great applause. Our Principal, Mrs. Moyssakos, then addressed our graduates and shared her congratulations and special memories from the past year, wishing them well in their future endeavours. Our Grade 8 graduates were then warmly recognized by our Grade 8 Valedictorian, Connor C, and our faculty honoured our Grade 8 graduates with their graduation certificates. Our Grade 12 Valedictorian, Hope C., amazed all of our guests with her spectacular address of our Grade 12 graduates, who were then honoured with their graduation diplomas and recognition of Chisholm Academy’s Ontario Scholars.
And our graduation ceremony wouldn’t be complete without Dr. Bernstein’s directing of our graduates in the “throwing of their graduation caps”!
Following this beautiful ceremony, our faculty, students, parents and friends enjoyed a delicious luncheon, while being entertained by our Grad Baby Photo SlideShow and a Year in Review video reflection of all of the incredible events that took place throughout the year, thanks to our dedicated staff and students!
Best wishes to all of our Chisholm Academy families and staff for a wonderful summer, and we look forward to the upcoming school year!
