Oakwood Collegiate survived a school closure yesterday due to power outage in the community. This was a very unusual event for staff and students. Most of our students heard about the school closure through the media or phone calls and text messages from their friends.  We did greet about 75 students at the door with the news that school was closed for the day. It was fun to see the looks on everyone's face as they absorbed the news. Today we are back at on track with business as usual.

Tomorrow - Thursday, February 24th our senior boys' Basketball Team is competing in the finals of the OFSSA qualifiers at 2 p.m. at The University of Toronto. We wish them continued success. This is a remarkable group of athletes who shine on the court.

Friday, February 25th we are hosting a segment of the Sears Drama Festival at Oakwood. Students from Oakwood CI, Lawrence Park CI and North Toronto CI will be performing at 7 p.m. in the Oakwood auditorium. The students will be performing before an adjudication panel who will determine which group of talented students moves forward in the Sears Drama Festival. We hope you can join us! to see the fine performances.

This week represents the best part of being a Principal - sharing the great things that our students are doing!
