Each year, the Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) celebrates exceptional students across its school district at the Annual Student Awards of Excellence Ceremony, which took place on Monday, March 27.
The Student Awards of Excellence are presented to a student from each elementary and secondary school who has demonstrated outstanding qualities in Catholic leadership, family commitment, and involvement in school affairs and community activities.
The Spirit of Inclusion Award was created by the Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) and is presented each year to elementary and secondary students who demonstrate a commitment to school activities and their community, making their peers feel valued and respected. The Oakville student awarded this honour was Samantha DelGuidice from Thomas Merton.
