A heartfelt congratulations to Malcolm Y., one of St. Elizabeth Seton’s very own Grade 8 French Immersion students who has been selected to serve as a Legislative Page at the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. The Program is open to students in grades 7 and 8 who have an interest in current affairs and is designed for “high-achieving, community-involved students who have demonstrated responsibility and leadership and provides youth an opportunity to experience the provincial legislature in action.”
Malcolm joined St. Elizabeth Seton in Grade 1. He consistently assumes an active leadership role within our school and demonstrates a strong dedication to our community. Among his many accomplishments, Malcolm is a Student Ambassador who has welcomed board visitors to our school, is a team manager for our Volleyball team and takes great pride in being a valuable member of our Intermediate Boys Basketball team. This past March, Malcolm, together with his team, won the area basketball tournament and proudly represented our school at the board finals.
As a volunteer, Malcolm’s experiences include a role as a junior journalist for CBC in July 2017. In 2023, Malcolm completed the Urban Alliance on Race Relations Black Youth Leadership Certificate Program that focuses on building the next generation of Black public servants and provides training, mentorship and internship.
During his time as a Legislative Page, Malcolm will have an opportunity to meet key parliamentary figures as well as learn about Ontario’s parliamentary system of government. We wish Malcolm the best of luck as he participates in the Legislative Page Program and we look forward to learning about his experiences.
