What’s your favourite subject in school?

I love both English and Music.

 

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be, and why?

My best high-school memory was the entire grad trip. We went to Niagara falls for 5 days and it was the best 5 days of my life.

 

What is the best thing about your school?

 The best thing about my school is how welcoming everyone is. There is rarely anyone rude here.

Who has made an impact on you?

My teacher, Tracy MacNeil, has made the biggest impact during my high-school years.

 

Is there something you'd like to see in your school or community that isn't there now?
