TCPS Annual Arts Night: A Magical Evening with Alice in Wonderland As we proudly continued one of TC’s most special annual events, we celebrated Town Centre Arts Night on Thursday, April 10th at 7:00 pm in the main gym. This evening is a treasured tradition at TCPS and was made possible through a truly collective effort amongst students, staff, and parents, whose dedication, support, and involvement made this an unforgettable success! We enjoyed so many areas within the Arts, from our senior band musicians, the beautiful visual arts and film displays, to the brilliant feature presentation of Alice in Wonderland! We are so proud of the collaboration, creativity, and leadership demonstrated across students of all grades and disciplines—Art Club, Engineering & Design Club, STRIVE, to name a few. The guidance of our teachers, the behind-the-scenes support from our maintenance and IT teams, and the encouragement from parents, all played an integral part in bringing this event to life. Arts education provides students with a space to explore, collaborate, and express their voices, while fostering creativity and confidence. This event was a collective celebration of performing and visual Arts, featuring our talented TCPS musicians from the elementary and high school senior band, a beautiful display of student artwork and film, and the long-awaited play production. One of the most powerful parts of the event was seeing representation from all grades involved in all aspects of the event, from set design, sound, lighting, tech, costumes, to acting. Congratulations to the incredible cast and crew, band students, artists and staff for their hard work and dedication. Your efforts truly made the evening shine. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated and attended, making this event a memorable celebration of the Arts! Arts Night reminds us of what makes our school special: a community that comes together to support, create, and inspire. Thank you to students, parents and several TCPS alumni for attending in support of this year’s production!

Town Centre Private Schools Visit to McMaster University: A Day of Learning and Exploration On a bright morning, grade 9, 10, and 11 students from Town Centre Private Schools (TCPS) embarked on an educational trip to McMaster University. The day was meticulously planned to blend hands-on learning experiences with a glimpse into university life. In the morning session, the grade 9 and 10 students participated in a STEM workshop, designing, purchasing materials, and building their creations. Meanwhile, the grade 11 students enjoyed a campus tour, exploring various facilities. The groups then switched places, with grade 9 and 10 students touring the campus and grade 11 students engaging in their STEM workshop. At noon, everyone gathered at the Student Centre for lunch, providing a chance to relax and reflect on the morning’s activities. The afternoon featured diverse activities tailored to each grade level. Grade 9 students attended a planetarium show, grade 10 students participated in team-building exercises, and grade 11 students tackled the low ropes course. The visit was a resounding success, offering TCPS students’ academic enrichment and personal growth. Student leaders tested all models created during the STEM workshops and awarded the top team. The day was captured in an album under Media, preserving the memories of this enriching experience. This trip inspired students to pursue their academic and creative passions with renewed enthusiasm.
