Congratulations to many of our chemistry students who have achieved incredible results across several national and international chemistry competitions!

More than 21 students participated in the University of Waterloo Avogadro Exam, a challenging first-year chemistry exam, and UCC’s average score placed well above the national average.

Last week, our Prep community collected 404 cereal boxes in support of The Children’s Breakfast Clubs, an organization that helps provide breakfast to thousands of children across Ontario so they can begin their school day nourished and ready to learn. The cereal box domino run on the Oval was the perfect way to showcase what can happen when a community works together. Thank you to our students and families for showing how small acts of kindness can make a meaningful impact.

Last week, UCC SK students welcomed their pen pals from BSS to celebrate World Bee Day!

Our students spent the morning making bee-themed buttons, drawing bees and flowers and reflecting on the importance of these powerful insects! 🐝

Last Friday’s Leaving Ceremony was a wonderful celebration, and we are so grateful to everyone who gathered to honour our graduates and make it such a memorable day. It was a proud moment for everyone as house advisers highlighted each student’s journey at the College before they accepted their diplomas, followed by a fantastic address from valedictorian Matthew.

We are deeply appreciative of the words shared by Principal McKinney, Dr. Kinnear, Mr. MacDougall and Julian Bauld, and special thanks to Jeremy Iaccobaci ’20 for speaking to the grads at Thursday’s dinner.

Join us in welcoming our newest Old Boys to the alumni community!
