École Secondaire Georges-P.-Vanier, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

Two Grade 12 students were presented with the Rose Kantiono Excellence Award in recognition of their outstanding academic excellence.

On June 26, the awards were presented during the Graduation Ceremony of the Class of 2025, a celebration that brought together staff, parents, students, community members, and partner organizations to honour the achievements of the graduating class.

Ms. Kantiono was especially honoured to personally present the awards to the two students from the school under the Conseil scolaire Viamonde. Her presence held special significance, as she served the school community as Vice‑Principal from 2022 to 2024. Her return to celebrate and recognize student success reflected her enduring commitment to education, leadership, and student achievement.
