<h1>Kerry Blues Veteran Commits to Laurier</h1>
Grade 12 student-athlete, Hugo Thomas, has committed to spending the next chapter of educational journey in Waterloo, representing the purple and gold of Wilfrid Laurier University.
The St. Michael’s College School (SMCS) wide receiver will join the Golden Hawks this fall while pursuing a business degree.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://d97pdw6wu0.wpdns.site/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/smcs-hugo-thomas-3.jpg" alt="Hugo Thomas signs with Wilfrid Laurier for football." width="1200" height="800" class="st-michael-img-1200" /> 
“I chose Wilfrid Laurier University because of the winning culture, the coaching staff, and the amazing academics,” says Thomas. “From the beginning, it felt like a place where success is expected—not just on the field but in the classroom too. The coaches made me feel valued and showed real belief in my development as both a player and a person. I wanted to be part of a programme that pushes you to be your best every day.”
Thomas will enter Laurier’s honours BA programme with a focus on business management, allowing him the flexibility to explore different areas of study while building a strong foundation in business and leadership.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://d97pdw6wu0.wpdns.site/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/smcs-hugo-thomas-2.jpg" alt="Hugo Thomas playing on the Kerry Blues Sr. Football team." width="500" height="557" class="float-left st-michael-img-500" style="padding-bottom:10px;" />
“Laurier’s strong reputation in business and management stood out for me, as well as the strong support system available to student-athletes,” says Thomas. “I like that the programme emphasizes leadership, teamwork, and real-world application—all things that connect directly to athletics. The balance between academics and athletics is something Laurier does well, and that was important to me.”
His passion for football was ignited in Grade 6, playing flag football, before transitioning to tackle football in Grade 9 at SMCS.
“I grew up playing football on my elementary school team and spending hours throwing the ball around with friends,” adds Thomas. “I lived in Revelstoke, B.C., and Collingwood, Ontario, and in both places, football was something I loved doing any chance I got.”
During Thomas’ teenage years, he thrived as a multi-sport athlete, splitting his time between basketball, hockey, track and field, in addition to his commitment to football.
“Growing up, I was always active in sports, and I truly believe it helped me build a strong athletic foundation and my competitive spirit,” he says.
In 2024, Thomas received the SMCS JV Most Outstanding Player and Character Award. The next season, he was named an Ontario Summer Football League (OSFL) All-Star (2025) and was also selected as a Toronto All-Star that year. In 2026, Thomas earned an All-Ontario Honourable Mention.
“Hugo represents everything you hope for in a captain—his character is defined not just by how he plays the game, but by how he carries himself every single day,” says Dr. Daniel Lumsden ’96, Sr. Kerry Blues coach and community engagement and learning lead. “Around football, he leads with toughness and accountability, holding himself to a high standard and bringing others with him. He understands that leadership is not about being the loudest voice; it is about consistency and doing the right thing when no one is watching. His commitment to Laurier speaks volumes about who he is. They (Laurier) are not just getting a football player; they are getting a leader of character.”
At SMCS, Thomas was a four-year member of the Kerry Blues football programme, where he experienced first-hand the discipline and accountability required to compete at a high level.
“My experience playing football at St. Mike’s was honestly a 10 out of 10,” says Thomas. “The expectations were high, and nothing was handed to you. You had to earn everything. There were tough practices, hard losses, and long days, but seeing the growth from Grade 9 to Grade 12 and building those bonds with my teammates made it an unforgettable experience.”

Thomas credits SMCS not only for his football development but also for the foundation it provided him with in the classroom, preparing him for the next level.
“St. Michael’s taught me discipline, time management, and accountability,” he says. “Balancing academics and athletics forced me to stay organized and consistent. I spent a lot of time training, recovering, and improving, and I thank all my coaches and trainers for their support and guidance. The culture at SMCS emphasizes hard work and character, and that mindset is something I will carry with me to Laurier.”

<h1>Top Delegation Award for Model UN Club</h1>
A St. Michael’s College School (SMCS) first was recently realized as the Model UN club distinguished itself at the largest Model United Nations conference in Toronto.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://d97pdw6wu0.wpdns.site/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/smcs-uoft-mun-2.jpg" alt="SMCS Model UN at the UTMUN conference in Jan. 2026." width="1200" height="900" class="st-michael-img-1200" /> 
Alongside taking home multiple individual awards, the club captured Best Overall Delegation for the first time at the 19th annual University of Toronto Model United Nations Conference (UTMUN), held January 29 to February 1, 2026.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://d97pdw6wu0.wpdns.site/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/smcs-uoft-mun-3.jpg" alt="SMCS Model UN at the UTMUN conference in Jan. 2026." width="500" height="667" class="float-left st-michael-img-500" />
“This win is a huge milestone in the history of the Model UN club at SMCS,” says Francesco Bellissimo, teacher and one of the Model UN faculty moderators, along with Vanessa Iaboni. “While the club has had the honour of winning delegation awards at other Model UN conferences, these conferences were much smaller in scale. To win an award of this nature, at such a large conference like UTMUN, is truly an accomplishment.”
UTMUN hosts high school delegation teams from all over the world and is the largest conference that SMCS participates in each year.
“I have never felt so proud of St. Mike&#8217;s,” says Lucas Umali, Grade 12, who has been a member of the club since Grade 10. “Knowing that I can be the best on an international stage comforted me immensely, knowing that all my hard work and passion have paid off. But most importantly, and to my surprise, SMCS winning Best Overall Delegation put the biggest smile on my face. I&#8217;m proud to be a part of a monumental accomplishment in our school&#8217;s Model UN history, our first-ever delegation award at a prestigious conference with just six people.”
In addition to the overall award, three SMCS delegates also took home awards in their respective committees: Umali and Austin Theal each won Best Delegate, and Ronan Zhong won Honourable Mention.
“These conferences provide students with unique and exciting educational opportunities as they prepare resolutions to dynamic and real-world situations, participate in debates, and refine their skills in the art of diplomacy and negotiation,” says Bellissimo. “For Ms. Iaboni and me, this is truly a proud moment for both of us. We have been significantly involved with the club for several years and have watched it grow during this time. This award is truly a milestone in the club&#8217;s evolution, so it is a rewarding experience for us and builds excitement for what the future holds!”
In recent years, the SMCS Model UN club has also won top delegation awards at the annual Havergal College Model UN Conference in 2021 and 2025.
“Receiving Best Overall Delegation at this most recent conference was especially meaningful to me,” says Zhong, Grade 12, who also joined the club in Grade 10. “I won my first-ever individual award at UTMUN in 2024, and now our club has won Best Overall Delegation in my senior year, making my Model UN journey feel truly full circle. It was incredibly rewarding to see our collective hard work pay off. As a Grade 12, this award also reassures me that the legacy of Model UN at SMCS is in good hands, especially with so many new members contributing to the delegation.”
The Model UN club at SMCS is always accepting new members interested in debate, politics, and international affairs, or in improving their public speaking and presentation skills.
“Model UN is a place to meet people,” says Theal, Grade 12. “I didn&#8217;t join Model UN in Grade 9 because I was particularly interested in global politics, or because I had a deep fascination with interesting roleplay or proper procedure, I joined Model UN because I&#8217;m an extrovert who enjoys debate. As much as Model UN is a club that enforces academic rigour and competitive diplomacy, it is also a way to foster communication skills and have personally meaningful dialogue with like-minded people.”

<h1>SMCS Student-Athlete Prepares to Head South</h1>
St. Michael’s College School (SMCS) Grade 12 student Luke Olynick has committed to continue his academic and athletic journey at the University of Hartford this fall, where he will join the men’s golf programme and pursue a degree in business management at The Barney School of Business.
“The University of Hartford was a fit for me both academically and athletically,” says Olynick. “The golf team has had an incredible year competing in the NCAA, and I felt the school itself offered a strong business programme where I could further my education. I had lunch with the guys on the team, and they were all amazing to me and made me feel very welcome. I also really enjoyed learning about the school itself and what it has to offer!”
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://d97pdw6wu0.wpdns.site/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/smcs-luke-olynick-2.5.jpg" alt="SMCS student-athlete Luke Olynick commits to Hartford." width="1200" height="800" class="st-michael-img-1200" /> 
Olynick picked up the sport of golf at age seven and started playing competitively at 11 while honing his skills at his home course, St. George’s Golf and Country Club in Toronto. In 2024, he was named SMCS Junior Golf MVP and St. George’s Junior Golfer of the Year.
“I’m really excited to be joining the Hartford Hawks golf programme, and I already know it’s a great place to grow as a player and a person,” adds Olynick. “They had some great success last year, including winning the Conference of New England Championship and finishing first in the New England Intercollegiate Golf Association Championship. I also like that the schedule includes playing a variety of courses in different states, which will be a great experience to travel and continue to do what I love—play competitive golf.”
During his four years on the SMCS golf team, Olynick has experienced tremendous growth, both on and off the course.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://d97pdw6wu0.wpdns.site/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/smcs-luke-olynick-3.jpg" alt="SMCS student-athlete Luke Olynick commits to Hartford." width="1200" height="797" class="st-michael-img-1200" /> 
“Luke has been a steady presence on the Blue Eagles Golf Team and has been an integral part of three consecutive CISAA championships and an OFSAA title in 2024,” says Nunzio Corrente, teacher and golf team coach alongside Paul Ruta and Mike Ross ’85. “With a remarkable skill set and a competitive spirit, Luke&#8217;s game is built to take on the challenges of collegiate golf, and we can’t wait to see how he shines on the course. The coaching staff is excited and proud of Luke and looks forward to seeing him play at the collegiate level.”
In addition, his academic progress has blossomed alongside his golf career, earning honour roll status in Grade 11 and well on his way to repeating it in his graduating year.
“SMCS prepared me really well to succeed as a student-athlete by teaching me how to balance academics and athletics at a high level,” says Olynick. “The school emphasizes strong time-management skills, which helped me stay organized while juggling classes, practices, and competitions. Teachers were supportive and held me to high standards, which pushed me to work hard and stay accountable.”
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://d97pdw6wu0.wpdns.site/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/smcs-golf-team-ofsaa-2025.jpg" alt="SMCS Golf Team 2025 OFSAA win" width="1200" height="857" class="st-michael-img-1200" /> 
On the course, Olynick represented SMCS golf teams that captured CISAA championships in 2023, 2024, and 2025, as well as an OFSAA gold in 2024.
“I have really enjoyed playing for the SMCS Blue Eagles, where I’ve improved my competitive golf skills and gained more confidence on the course. The coaches have given us so many amazing opportunities to compete. They always push us to do our best while still making the experience fun. I am very grateful for all the time, support, and guidance the coaches have given me. Because of them, I have grown not only as a golfer but also as a person.”

<h1>Inspired to Serve: Student Initiative Makes a Difference</h1>
A trio of senior students are demonstrating what it means to Be the Good, by serving and leading in their community following a successful initiative that inspired them to give more.
Luca Tatone, Lucas Connop, and Christian Pavlovic, Grade 12 students at St. Michael’s College School (SMCS), recently launched a shoebox drive to create a meaningful way of giving back to children and families at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://d97pdw6wu0.wpdns.site/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/smcs-holland-bloorview-service-3.jpg" alt="Grade 12 SMCS students led a service initiative in support of Holland Bloorview." width="1200" height="800" class="st-michael-img-1200" /> 
“I volunteered at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital during March Break as a FIRST Robotics camp volunteer,” says Tatone. “I wanted to find a different and more hands-on way to give back, and the experience allowed me to support children while contributing to an environment focused on learning, growth, and inclusion. The experience was very eye-opening and humbling, as it showed me the daily challenges many children and families face. It helped me gain a deeper appreciation for resilience and the importance of compassion.”
Connop, who has also been a volunteer for the past two summers, adds, “Volunteering at Holland Bloorview left a significant mark on my character. My experience taught me that, regardless of what they have been through, everyone has the strength within them to persevere. Seeing the progress and growth in the patients truly inspired me to attack my own challenges with the same attitude.”
Their goals for the shoebox drive were to raise awareness within our school community about Holland Bloorview and give back to the children and families in a tangible way.
“We wanted to move beyond fundraising alone and instead offer something personal and thoughtful that could directly bring comfort and joy to the children,” says Pavlovic.
Each shoebox contained an assortment of five items, such as small toys, art supplies, and comfort items designed to be inclusive for children with varying needs and abilities. Students participating in the fundraiser were also eligible to acquire a small number of Christian service hours for each box donated.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://d97pdw6wu0.wpdns.site/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/smcs-holland-bloorview-service-1.jpg" alt="Grade 12 SMCS students led a service initiative in support of Holland Bloorview." width="1200" height="900" class="st-michael-img-1200" /> 
“Holland Bloorview and similar organizations are in constant need of generous support,” says Connop. “They always need willing volunteers and resources for patient care and therapeutics to give these children the best experience possible. That is why we are calling all students to devote their time and donate so we can help be a part of that process.”
The trio of students raised awareness of the fundraiser through videos on the morning announcements and classroom visits where they answered questions from peers while also speaking about their experiences with Holland Bloorview and the importance of supporting organizations like it.
“Volunteering with organizations like Holland Bloorview helps students develop empathy, perspective, and social responsibility,” says Pavlovic. “It allows students to understand the real-life challenges faced by children and families with disabilities and complex medical needs. These experiences encourage students to move beyond mandatory hours.”
At SMCS, high school students go beyond the provincial requirement of completing 40 community service hours and complete an additional 20 Christian service hours in Grades 11 and 12, doing work that focuses on serving marginalized communities.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://d97pdw6wu0.wpdns.site/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/smcs-holland-bloorview-service-2.jpg" alt="Grade 12 SMCS students led a service initiative in support of Holland Bloorview." width="1200" height="800" class="st-michael-img-1200" /> 
“Christian Service hours in Grade 11 and 12 are important ways for students to gain unique volunteer experiences that are meant to be impactful and evoke a spiritual connection,” says Christina Shin, Department Head of Applied Science and Technology. “Seeing how the Christian Service hours experience played a role in the creation and execution of this project is an example of the St. Michael&#8217;s College School ‘Portrait of a Graduate’ initiative at work. I am so impressed by the drive and effort of these young men.”
In total, the group of students collected and donated around 50 shoeboxes to the cause.
“After volunteering, we saw firsthand the struggles many families face just to access care at Holland Bloorview,” says Tatone. “We wanted to create a meaningful way to support both the children and their families beyond our volunteer hours.”
Connop adds, “My volunteer experience has inexplicably shaped who I am today. It is why I am continuing my journey with Holland Bloorview beyond our school&#8217;s service requirements by co-founding this shoebox drive while actively encouraging student engagement with Holland Bloorview.”

<h1>Career Day 2026: Opening Doors to Possibilities</h1>
Grade 11 students spent a full day looking beyond the classroom and into the real world as St. Michael’s College School (SMCS) hosted its annual Career Day on January 27. The event helps students explore postsecondary pathways, discover different professions, and begin thinking seriously about the skills needed beyond high school.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://d97pdw6wu0.wpdns.site/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/smcs-career-day-2026-3.jpg" alt="SMCS Career Day 2026 - Rob Nickerson speaking to Grade 11s." width="1200" height="800" class="st-michael-img-1200" /> 
“At this stage in their high school journey, students are beginning to make important academic and personal decisions,” says Dr. Daniel Lumsden ’96, community engagement and learning lead. “Career Day provides a break in the daily routine to explore what is possible and gain meaningful exposure to real-world experiences and professional insight.”
The day opened with engaging keynote speaker Rob Nickerson, well-known for his energetic and interactive leadership workshops using improvisation as a teaching tool.
Using improv-based techniques and hands-on exercises, students were challenged to step outside their comfort zones while developing skills in leadership, collaboration, creative problem-solving, and effective communication. The session set an energetic and reflective tone for the day, emphasizing adaptability, teamwork, and confidence—skills essential across all career paths.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://d97pdw6wu0.wpdns.site/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/smcs-career-day-2026-1.jpg" alt="SMCS Career Day 2026 - Theatre fireside chats" width="1200" height="800" class="st-michael-img-1200" /> 
During the second half of the day, students rotated through a series of interactive sessions led by guest speakers representing fields, including business, science, technology, health care, law, education, entrepreneurship, athletics, and the creative industries.
“I found Career Day to be a very valuable and engaging experience. It gave me the opportunity to learn in-depth about a wide range of careers and the different educational paths, skills, and personal qualities required to succeed in each field,” says Reed Hammill, Grade 11. “Hearing directly from professionals allowed me to better understand what their day-to-day work looks like, as well as the challenges and rewards associated with their careers. Learning from others&#8217; experiences helped me reflect more seriously on my own interests and goals, and it clarified what I might want to pursue in the future. I especially appreciated that each speaker represented a different career, as this exposed me to multiple perspectives across various job markets and highlighted the many unique pathways to professional success.”
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://d97pdw6wu0.wpdns.site/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/smcs-career-day-2026-4.jpg" alt="SMCS Career Day 2026 - Improv in the gym" width="1200" height="800" class="st-michael-img-1200" /> 
Speakers shared their personal journeys, discussed the realities of their professions, and offered honest insights into university and college pathways, apprenticeships, and alternative routes to success.
“Career Day was a very helpful and interesting experience that broadened my view of how many possibilities there are for me after graduation,” says Wallace Dempsey, Grade 11. “I had the opportunity to speak to professionals in many different areas, such as physical training, broadcasting, computer science, and coaching at a pro level. Hearing all these professionals speak about what they do and how they got to their current roles was eye-opening for me, as I am still unsure what I want to pursue in my post-secondary education.”
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://d97pdw6wu0.wpdns.site/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/smcs-career-day-2026-2.jpg" alt="SMCS Career Day 2026 - Students networking with professionals" width="1200" height="800" class="st-michael-img-1200" /> 
Throughout these sessions, an emphasis was placed on transferable skills such as perseverance, communication, and critical thinking. Each speaker brought a unique story and perspective, sharing how their own paths unfolded and the lessons they learned along the way.
“The day also encouraged students to ask thoughtful questions and reflect on their own interests, strengths, and values,” added Lumsden. “Our small-group sessions helped students gain confidence in introducing themselves and articulating their goals. For many, it was a first taste of the kind of conversations they will have in interviews and postsecondary settings.”
Importantly, the day reinforced that there is no single ‘right’ path to success following high school. Careers are rarely straight lines, shaped by curiosity, resilience, and a commitment to lifelong learning.
