Students at Heydon Park Secondary School in Toronto protested outside their school against the TDSB's decision to stop Grade 9 enrolment for the upcoming year due to low numbers. As the only school catering specifically to young women, transgender, and non-binary students, protesters highlighted the importance of this environment for their growth. Alumni and current students expressed that the school's unique support system is vital for personal development, and many criticized the TDSB for not promoting the school adequately. The passionate students and families aim to reverse the board's decision to ensure their school's future.
"This particular school helped me become the person I am today. All the teachers were really accepting for who I am. All the students were accepting, except for a couple."
"This high school offered Jessica a true high school experience. The care that they get from the teachers is beyond remarkable. This school is 101 years old. It works. It should be cloned."
