In My Own Words:
My name is Cathy D. and this is my second year at Ridley. I am currently a day student in grade 11 and I am planning on graduating from Ridley. Both my brothers are OR’s (Old Ridleians) as well.
I am always busy and I find it hard to say that I have free time. For sports, I am currently on the 1st Gymnastics Team and we are preparing for our competition season starting in February. I am also involved with four activities at the moment those being: Roots and Shoots, Team Life Savers, Admissions Assistant and the Fashion Show. The Fashion Show is actually a new event this year that I helped create! We are raising money for Out of the Cold (http://www.outinthecold.ca) in order to buy clothing for children.
On the academic side of things, I mainly focus on the arts. I love Media and Studio Arts, I won an award last year in Studio Art. Also, I am taking Design Technology, which is a great course as a substitute for a science, if, like me, you are going into an art or design based stream in university.
Being a day student, I never really find myself at home, but the advantage about going to Ridley and getting involved in everything you want to is that, it is all in the school, so there is no need to drive a bunch of different places to do the things you love; it is all on one campus!
Ridley is truly a place that you can make your own. You can create great memories, get involved in anything you like and really make the most out of your high school years.
