Her research and teaching are in the area of child development and mental health, with a focus on the role of family relationships and interactions in child well-being.

Congrats Grade 8 Girls Volleyball!

Congratulations to Fern's grade 8 girls volleyball team for an amazing season this year! Our team players committed to three months of practices with an energy and skill progression that was contagious. By the time we played our first tournament, our team had become really skilled with an amazing set-up and return volleyball game. We had a string of 12 consecutive wins in exhibitions and TDSB tournaments and playoffs games. Our team played at a very high level of volleyball throughout and was well prepared for the south Toronto final against Deer Park. The game went to a third set that was closely contested with many lead changes. The ending was exciting but did not fall in our favour, with a 3 point loss margin. Deer Park, a very good team, went on to win the TDSB Toronto city championship. It is bittersweet knowing that Fern team came that close to winning the City championship, however we feel very proud for our season and bringing back to Fern Avenue the south city finalist
