We've spotted an Alumni!
McKinley Kennedy '20
Former Head of School, Rodger Wright, and former Wentworth Principal, Ian Kennedy, were recently spotted at U of T, cheering on Ian's daughter McKinley. McKinley was playing for University of Toronto in the University National Field Hockey Championships against UVic. Though UVic ended up taking the lead in the best-of-three playoff, McKinley was still a standout on her team and performed at the top of her game!
Zack Yamaoka '16
While attending the Metro Vancouver Zero Waste Conference with a small group of students, Ms. Field ran into her former student and Collingwood alum Zach Yamaoka. Zach was representing BAM robotics, a robotics startup that is developing a trash sorting robot. We love hearing about the incredible careers and passions that our alumni are pursuing!
