Life at TFS
RACHEL entered Pre-Kindergarten at the West Campus
after moving from Luxembourg, where her siblings had
attended an international school. Her parents appreciated
TFS' diversity and international perspective, as well
as Mississauga's small campus, so they enrolled all
three children.
Multi-talented and highly independent, Rachel participated
fully in all aspects of school life. She learned to play the
French horn and was a member of the Senior Wind
Ensemble from Level I to Level IV, travelling to Ottawa and
Italy with the band and twice selected to participate in the
Conference of Independent Schools Music Festival. A Peer
Mentor Club member from Level III, Rachel sought to be
more involved and became its Head in Level V. She played
on the soccer team in Levels II and III, and in Level IV joined
the Right to Play Society. Always open to growth and
challenge, Rachel spent many summers in the Canadian
wilderness, including all-female expeditions down the
Albany River in northwestern Ontario, another into
Labrador, and most recently a daunting seven-week trip
canoeing through northern Quebec to Hudson Bay with
Keewaydin Camp. For her long-term service project,
Rachel volunteered at the Regent Park School of Music
teaching piano to beginners.
"At TFS, we are
taught how to learn
and how to reflect
rather than to
memorize facts."
