Life at TFS
NICOLE was enrolled in TFS in Pre-Kindergarten.
Although her parents do not speak French, they consider
bilingualism to be a practical asset as well as an intrinsic
part of Canadian culture.
A deep thinker and a middle-distance runner, Nicole
stretches her mind and her body, always learning and
striving to do her best whether she is on the track or in
the classroom. Creative and bubbling with ideas, Nicole
plunged into her role as Prefect of the newly formed Student
Voice, which gave her carte blanche to do something
special. She conceived of a virtual suggestion box that
would truly allow for students to be heard; but the highlight
of her TFS years was the time she devoted to Limited
Edition, the student newspaper. She began as a journalist,
became assistant editor, then editor. Among her many
initiatives, "Humans of TFS," inspired by Humans of
New York, is Nicole's legacy, capturing quotes and photos
of the people who make up the TFS community. Under her
editorship, Limited Edition won runner-up in the Toronto
Star's high school journalism awards contest in two
categories — best newspaper and best electronic layout
and design. For her long-term service project, Nicole
volunteered for Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation
Hospital, an experience she found inspiring.
"TFS encourages us
to be well-rounded
individuals and
aware of our role as
engaged citizens."
