Another Outstanding Arts Event!

April 28th marked the TCPS annual Arts Event and a return to a live performance. The high school cast and crew outdid themselves again this year with the students taking on the writing, directing and filming of the entire production.

This year’s production, Parallel is about a grade twelve student, Skylar, who travels back in time to when she was in grade nine. The film takes you through Skylar’s relationships with her friends, (twists and turns) while focusing on the growing pains they all experienced as high school students.

Also, during the intermission, the STRIVE Club raffled off four different gift packages including Cineplex tickets, Toronto sports memorabilia, stationary supplies and a self-care gift package. The STRIVE raffle raised $278 which will be donated to UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees).
