The top students said, other activities, besides studying, helped them maintain balance and excel academically.
That was the message on Thursday from five teenagers who graduated from Toronto’s public school board with a perfect 100-per-cent average, the highest number of students to earn that distinction in a year.
Ho, who turned 17 last week and is headed to the University of Toronto to study engineering science, was in Grade 9 when the COVID-19 pandemic started. The lockdowns, and all the “free time,” gave him the opportunity to hone his study habits, organizational skills and time management. He also took summer school courses, which made it possible to graduate in three years.
Sung, who also figure-skates competitively, can solve a Rubik’s cube, often in under 10 seconds. He did this for Education Minister Stephen Lecce, who stopped by to congratulate the teens on their “incredible feat.” “The extracurricular experience makes a difference, so we look forward to those being restored,” said Lecce,made earlier in the week. The province is currently negotiating with the unions of teachers, whose contracts expire in late August.
