Top International Student – University Pathway Award

Tim G. – Holy Trinity CSS

Tim graduated from Holy Trinity CSS with an exceptional 100% average, an achievement made even more remarkable by his challenging course load, which included four Advanced Placement (AP) courses, as well as Computer Science and Computer Engineering Technology – Robotics.

Tim has been a dedicated leader within Holy Trinity’s math community, actively participating in competitions while mentoring classmates and helping organize Math Club workshops. He also played a key role on the school’s award-winning Robotics Team, applying his programming and problem-solving skills to improve the Tronic Titan competitive robot .

“[Tim] has a great self-awareness and his willingness to challenge himself has resulted in him finding leadership roles that play to his strengths. He is a consistent and determined student who has grown to develop skills beyond his significant academic abilities.“ – Zrinjka R., ESL Teacher, Holy Trinity CSS

Beyond academics, Tim fostered a strong sense of community at Holy Trinity by often meeting with his fellow International Students to share experiences and offer guidance and support.

Tim is also the recipient of the Top International Student at an Oakville School award.
