The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is given in recognition of the students’ hard work and dedication to regularly challenge themselves to step out of their comfort zone. At this assembly, the students who achieved Bronze and Silver levels were awarded with their pins and a certificate.

Bronze-level Duke of Edinburgh’s Award recipients:

Students and staff show great dedication to their chosen sports throughout the year. We recently celebrated the recipients of the MVP and Coach’s Award at our [Spring Athletics Assembly], however the Awards Assembly recognized outstanding athletes who made a significant impact on Greenwood’s athletics throughout all three seasons. We also recognized two staff members for their contributions as a coach here at Greenwood. 

First, the Colin Hood OFSAA awards were presented. This award recognizes two graduating students (one male and one female) and staff member from each high school in Ontario to recognize their commitment to the success of their school’s athletics program and within their Association. This year, we awarded three Colin Hood OFSAA Athletes of the Year Awards to  James Fisher Holy ‘25, Ainsley Parker ‘25 and Abi Reid ‘25 while Don Haag received the Colin Hood OFSAA Coach of the Year Award. 

Students presented with this award demonstrate their leadership through action. They show initiative, leadership and assertiveness in their daily behaviour and set an example for all other students. Recipients for this award were chosen by their peers. 

The Leader by Example award recipients are:

Greenwood’s students make a significant contribution to our Service Learning and Outreach programming throughout the year. Whether that means building strong bonds with their Reading Buddies, getting to school early to build healthy lunches or mentoring and coaching in out-of-school programs, students make a positive impact on the wider community through their dedication and punctuality. Students were recognized in their grade groups for their outreach work in the year.
