Dozens of Halton District School Board students won medals at the recent Ontario Skills Competition, with three qualifying for the national competition at the end of May.
The Ontario event, which was held remotely this year, saw 155 HDSB elementary and secondary students take part in the competition in April and May. Elementary students captured a total of 56 medals, 18 of which were gold, while secondary students won a total of eight medals, half of which were gold.
Three students earned a spot at the national competition May 25-28 in secondary events: Grade 12 Iroquois Ridge High School students Evan Park and Prabhjot Chhabra in TV and Video Production, and Grade 12 Abbey Park High School student Raymond Tao in IT Network Systems Administration.
“At the national competition, students continued to build their technological skills and gain confidence in their abilities while creating friendships with other competitors from across Canada,” says Wade Richardson, the Board’s OYAP and Pathways lead. “Overall, the HDSB continues to demonstrate how engaged students are successful at a provincial and national level. Students build their technological skills and gain confidence in their abilities while creating friendships with other competitors.”
