@Ridley_College grade 10 students spent their Flourishing Saturday writing inspirational notes for @CommCrewNiagara lunches. These lunches help ensure that every child in Niagara has access to a healthy meal and is given the confidence to succeed. #RidleyService #SupportTheCrew
A busy room full of @Ridley_College students learning about @USC and the great variety of majors and alumni connections that come w a USC education. Btw, we also hosted 40+ 🇨🇦 schools on Monday for our Canadian Fair but I was too busy/engaged to take a pic!
It was great to see so many @Ridley_College students and parents at our Annual International University Fair this evening. We hosted ~50 schools from around the globe. Lots of learning and thoughtful questions. Thanks to all the reps for coming!
On the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation it was moving to hear Patty Krawec share her story and shed light on residential schools with @Ridley_College students in chapel

An empowering chat with @leonardnmoore to cap off the sessions @NACAC It was thoughtful, funny and engaging. Thank you!
I had to visit @RiceUniversity while in Houston. Beautiful tree covered campus. Rooted in community through their 11 colleges/dorms. 4000 undergrads, lots of unique major options, all with an emphasis on research. More knowledge for me to share w @Ridley_College students! #Ridley
I might need a nap! Just got out of the MASSIVE College Fair. Keeping/making those connections to benefit the @Ridley_College students in their university apps. Lots of laughs and great discussions. #RidleyGuidance
Feeling invigorated after a great session @NACAC learning about how to redesign and improve counsellor/teacher recommendation letters. I have a lot to take back to @Ridley_College in order to enhance our student applications. #RidleyGuidance

Impactful leadership workshop (NASCAR pit stop!) for our @Ridley_College grade 12s at our Senior Retreat. #ridleyleadership #belongatridley

Leadership, collaboration, relationship-building & communication were all areas of focus at the Gr. 12 Senior Retreat. From working a NASCAR pit stop to unlocking their character strengths and using them in a game of dodgeball, they built these skills in some pretty epic ways!
