Brooke Porter – Class of 2015

In June of 2015, Brooke graduated from TCPS and accepted Western University’s offer of admission to their Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance programme. In a conversation with her TCPHS Director of Alumni, she underscored some of the benefits of her studies at Town Centre. As an Arts Stream student, Brooke excelled in subjects like English, History and Geography. She aced her Advanced Placement (AP) exams in all three subjects and now benefits from making the most of Town Centre’s Arts Stream programme. Western University translated her AP credits into two full-year credits, the equivalent of two full-year courses or four half-year courses. As Brooke explained, “there is no doubt in my mind that AP was hard but totally worth it. University is a lot harder than high school, but because I put hard work into AP, university is a little less stressful.” She also thanked her teachers for the support they provided during her studies. We thank Brooke for taking the time to update us on her experience since leaving TCPS. One day we hope to hear Brooke perform.
