HISTORICAL INFORMATIONThe campus of Central Tech includes three buildings, a six lane 400 metre track and

athletic field on approximately 13 acres (5 hectares) of property.In 1915, the Main Building opened its doors to the students of Toronto. To accommodate

the increased student enrollment, an addition was completed to the building’s south end in 1953.In 1963, a separate Art Building was constructed to meet the needs of increasing numbers

of art students attending Central Tech. The building won the Vincent Massey Architectural Design Award for its unique and functional structure.

The Bathurst Building, the school’s third building, completed in 1967 included a new pool, a double gym with folding doors, several technical labs and classrooms. At the same time, the Toronto Board of Education acquired additional property for the track and athletic field.Today, this technical facility, including its specialized equipment and programs, represents one of the finest educational institutions in Canada.

Profile of the 2013 graduating classStudents come from across the city and from across the globe to attend Central Technical School.

More than a third of the students in the 2013 graduating class were born outside of Canada. They represent 45 countries of origin spanning the alphabet from A, Angola to V, Vietnam and speak 37 different languages!

The 2013 graduating class includes 52 English language learners who have met Ontario graduation requirements while learning English and adapting to life in a new country. Some students arrived with little or no knowledge of English, having left behind family, friends, and all that is familiar to them. They have adapted to their new environment and have become involved within and outside of the school, embracing all the possibilities available to them. Some students have developed their leadership and interpersonal skills in their roles as peer leaders in the Newcomer Orientation Week (NOW) Program. This year’s grads include NOW Peer Leaders: Soo Chung, Tenzin Kyizom, Timoni Langoya, Lin Ying Lin and Vincent Nguyen. This rewarding program allows current Central Tech students to welcome the most recent newcomers, to make them feel comfortable, and to share their knowledge and experiences. We are proud to acknowledge our ELL students’ hard work and persistence in adapting to a new “home” and wish them continued success in the future.

To meet the needs of our dynamic and culturally complex student body, Central Technical School houses a myriad of programs in Academics, Technical Studies and Visual Art.

Tonight’s graduates represent student success in Specialized High Skills Majors in Construction, Hospitality and Tourism and Transportation. The 2013 graduating class counts 114 “tech” specialty graduates, 34 of whom have distinguished themselves as high skills majors; in addition to their academic requirements, these students graduate with a concentration of technical courses, certifications recognized by their trade, demonstrated trade specific work skills and experience in the field.

Central Technical School also houses numerous Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Programs in Automotive, Carpentry, Culinary, Electrical and Plumbing. This year 56 students completed one year Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Programs in five different skilled trades. Some of these students came as graduates, but another 17 completed OYAP and their OSSD requirements at the same time. Sam Ipollito won the Bronze Medal for Electrical Wiring in Provincial Skills Competition. Many like this year’s recipient of the Board wide Bill Robinson Award, Abu Hafejee are continuing in their apprenticeship placements. Taheera Baidea-Ahamad now a Baking Apprentice at Rahier Patisserie recounts her OYAP experience as affording inspiring classroom guidance and exposure to college and industry personnel who shared valuable lessons.

Technical Education is not only about skilled trades. Many of our grads advance themselves in work or study after taking programs in, for instance, architectural design. In January 2013 four Central Technical School graduates: Maria Luisa Gonzalez, Carlos Marroquin, Victor Lee and Shep Zambonelli were admitted to Architectural Technology at George Brown College. This partnership with George Brown College Construction and Design Program afforded CTS students the chance to begin college programming in the fall of their CTS Grade 12 year and access front of the line admission to the January college program. All four students successfully completed their first George Brown term in May and are continuing in a three year program this fall. Congratulations!

Over 288 grads have completed one of a variety of programs in such diverse fields as health care, graphic design, computer engineering, video/audio production or web design. For others, a “Tech” program has been a chance to experience a variety of these skills. Over a dozen students, many of whom are featured on our TECHISCENTRAL website (http://www.youtube.com/techiscentral) are confidently pursuing their career - a testament to the opportunity to “try” something out.

This commencement class includes students graduating from The Art Centre at Central Technical School. Our graduates from the 3 Year Adult Program are: Susan Beaver, Judy Benakoun, Paul Bentzen, Lyn Brophy, Kimberly Carson, Maria (Tina) Conlon, Ihssan Farhat, Sara Georgieff, Kyrs Goldstein, Susanne Gorenflo, Dougal Haggart, Taline Kavoukian, Prakash Leighl, Claire Mercer and

Leena Raudvee. Three of our high school art graduates are attending post-secondary art programs: Sophia Li was successful in gaining admission to the very competitive Animation Program at Sheridan; Alice Yu is also at Sheridan studying Game Design and Tyler Sewell is at Ontario College of Art Design (OCAD).

Through our partnership with the University Of Toronto Faculty Of Law, students in Grades 10, 11 and 12 can opt to study their academic program through the lens of thematic law and justice units in English, Science, Civics, and Law. The program offers a number of co-curricular opportunities: job shadowing of lawyers and judges, tutoring by Faculty of Law students, and mentoring by legal professionals. In addition, specialist courses in Grade 12U Forensic Science and 12U Social Justice are offered. Also, student enrollment in the Steps to University Program allows students to earn a university credit entitled Law and Morality. Over the last three years, LAWS graduates have been able to complement their academic program with trips to Washington and New York, and many were able to partake in prestigious summer internship placements with the Justice for Children and Youth, Department of Justice, City of Toronto, African Canadian Legal Clinic, as well as private sector firms like RBC, CIBC, Koskie Minsky LLP, Epstein Cole LLP, Borden Ladner Gervais LLP, and Torys LLP.

Of our 294 graduates, 123 are Ontario Scholars with an average of 80% in six courses. Seven students have been awarded G.H. Woods Foundation Scholarships for pursuing post secondary endeavours at college or university or in apprenticeships and seven students have been awarded the Merit Award. One hundred and one (101) grads, have participated in co-operative education placements in a wide array of settings. Please join us in acknowledging those partner placements included in this evening’s program.

In addition to our Valedictorian, Denise Law-Vinh and our Student of the Year, Renée Tran the 2013 graduating class boasts a number of leaders: Daniel Procopio was recently featured on the TDSB Home Webpage. Daniel is an impressive athlete who demonstrates exemplary sportsmanship. He is always ready to support and mentor beginning players. In addition to being drafted by the New York Mets, he was a pitcher on the Canadian Junior National Team competing all over the world, most recently at the World Championships in Chinese Taipei. He is currently on a four year full scholarship for baseball and academics at Northern Kentucky University. Daniel’s future looks bright, thrilling, and rewarding. We are very proud of Daniel’s achievements both in school and in the world of athletics. Terrell Allert-Nairne also an important team player and OFSSAA qualifier in wrestling, has continued on in his studies and passion for football this fall at John Abbott CEGEP in Montreal. And our congratulations to Lindsay Orellana who throughout her CTS career was an anchor for our outstanding Girls’ Rugby Team.

Many grads contributed poetry, short stories and non-fiction to this year’s Arts and Literature Magazine, The Forge. Congratulations to Nicholas Belo, Hal Fox, Sabrina Krishna, Timoni Langoya, Juliana Moon, Mara Raposo, Amanda Rehel, Randy Roblin, Clarisse Smith, Arielle Styrsky, Senduran Thurirajasingam, and Rebecca Vivona. And too, to Forge photographers: Sofonias Amare, Rita Burdasova, Houssein Hassan, Abal Jalloh, Asher Knott, Gunce Koprulu, Lisa Lei, Tony Li, Martin Ostrihon, Sam Ton, Renée Tran, Winnie Surya and Alexia Trejo Beltran. Special mention to Winnie for the design on the cover of this year’s Commencement Invitation.

Beyond the classroom, Central Tech grads have collectively contributed 25,155 hours in service to their communities. Although Ontario graduation requirements demand students complete 40 hours of community service, each CTS grad has volunteered an average of 86 hours! One graduate, Haoula Mahamat Zene has accumulated 1,195 hours working with BABU a youth outreach program in the Regent Park Community.

Craftsmen, artists, academics, or athletes - this evening’s graduating class has earned our respect. They take with them the best of Central Technical School: intelligence, industry and integrity.

…And we are proud of each of them. Congratulations to our graduates!

Renée TranSTuDENT OF THE YEAR

Since she began in Grade 9 Renée Tran has been actively involved in all that “Tech” has had to offer. She has been a vital member of our school community. Her legacy lives on in the transformation of the girls’ third floor bathroom where a small group of Grade 9 artists literally transformed this space into an Alice in Wonderland theme. She has been a member of the CTS Student Council, a soccer, a rugby and a volleyball player, a lifeguard, an Assistant Coach to the CTS Swim Team and a photographer for The Forge.

In Grade 10, Renée opted to enrol in the LAWS Program that she describes as “an opportunity that has academically and individually helped shape the person she is today”. Through the LAWS Program Renée participated in the Blakes Mentoring Program and the Summer Job Program which included placements with Downtown Legal Services, Denton’s and Ontario Court of Justice. In 2012 she was a member of the very successful CTS Mock Trial team at the OJEN Mock Trial Tournament and in Grade 11 she was the recipient of the LAWS Community and Leadership Award. Throughout her CTS career Renée has maintained a strong academic average. Mr. Klich describes Renée as

“A teacher’s dream student - With incredible humility and cheer she inspired those around her to move forward and enjoy what was being taught. Her ability to negotiate and lead in group projects was something the other students aspired to and respected. She knew when to relax a bit and build cohesive participation with her good humour and raucous laugh, and, at the same time, knew when to call attention to what needed to be done and what decisions needed to be made. She worked hard, learning from what needed to be improved. She cared for those around her, too. The positive energy she carried with her was passed on to those around her and made school, and learning, better for many who struggled. AND... she always had a smile in her eyes, even when things weren’t all that great. Such a love of life. She taught everyone about that - just by being Renée.”

Today Renée is enrolled at University of Toronto. In addition to her studies, in true Renée style, she finds time to participate in the university newspaper club where she notes her Central Tech experience “has really prepared her for all aspects of illustration, photography and writing” and she continues as a volunteer in the LAW S program shepparding new CTS students to their Blakes mentors. Congratulations Renée and thank you!

Denise Law-VinhVALEDICTORIAN

Denise began Grade 9 at Central Tech in September 2009 and has consistently been an Honours Student. At Central Technical School, Valedictorian candidates are nominated by the graduating class, then “vetted” by staff, and then voted on by their peers. For both staff and students, Denise was a definitive choice!

Denise is an inquisitive, insightful student and diligent worker.. She is described by her teachers as “everything you would want a student to be” and “an enthusiastic, eager student with a positive attitude”.

She is a team player respected by her classmates and fellow athletes. Throughout her high school career, she has played volleyball. In her Grade 10 year she was “scouted” during a high school game, and invited to play competitive league ball. With the Toronto West Volleyball Team she travelled to the Dominican and had the opportunity to train with both their Junior and Senior National Teams. Denise was also selected to represent “Tech” at the summer 2011 Ontario Educational Leadership Camp (OELC).

Denise is currently studying for a Honours Biology degree at the University of Ottawa. In the future, Denise intends to further her studies as a physician and/or medical researcher. We look forward to watching her career unfold!

On behalf of the 2013 Graduating Class, thank you Denise and congratulations!
