Dear Nile Family,
It was another wonderful year at Nile Academy Plunkett. The 2015-2016 academic year was filled with
many accomplishments for our students. We have to say goodbye to another graduating class of talented and intelligent young men. These
young men have been accepted into prestigious universities such as Toronto, York, Ryerson, Waterloo,
Ottawa and McGill. While wishing them the best for their future endeavors, we also want to look back
on a successful year. This year was especially rewarding for our wrestling team. Our wrestling team under the auspices of
their coaches Mr. Yasin Kaya and Mr. Brock Curtis, won 15 gold medals, 21 silver medals and 20 bronze
medals. We are proud to announce our 2015/2016 Math team’s success at the Caribou Math Contest! Grade 9
student Mustafa Mesrefoglu placed 2nd in Ontario, 5th in Canada, and 6th in the world! The rest of the
Math team was also successful placing in the province’s first 100. This year the Nile Relief Club traveled to Haiti for some philanthropy. They visited 3 orphanages in total.
To their surprise, they discovered that it didn’t take much to make them happy. Just a small piece of
candy put the biggest smile on each youngster’s face. It was a meaningful trip and Nile plans to make
it a regular visit.
All in all it was a successful and memorable year. We hope that next year will bring more adventure and
success.

ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS AT NILE
THE MATH TEAM
The Math Team had a very busy year this year. They put in countless hours of dedicated
after-school studying 3 times a week with the guidance of their teacher Mr. Seyfullah.
They participated in many competitions
throughout the school year including: Caribou,
Pascal, Kangaroo, Euclid, Fryer, Galois, Hypatia
and Gauss. All the hard work and studying paid
off with their success in the Caribou and Pascal
Math Contests.
In the Pascal Math Contest, the team placed
6th on the Toronto Team Honour Roll. Nureddin
Burak Atalan, Ismet Taspinar, and Mustafa
Yeniceri made it on to the Toronto Student
Honour Roll. Mustafa Mesreofglu placed on the Ontario Students Honour Roll. In the
November Caribou Contest Mustafa Mesrefoglu placed 2nd in Ontario, 5th in Canada,
and 6th in the world. In the April contest, Mustafa placed 3rd in Ontario, 8th in Canada,
and 9th in the world. The Math Team was also successful placing in Canada’s first 100 in
both contests.
ANNUAL SPELLING BEE CHAMPION!
In April, the grade 7 and 8 classes participated in our Annual
Spelling Bee. Each student had the opportunity to take the
stand and prove they deserved to become Nile’s Spelling Bee
Champion. The competition was fierce as both classes performed
exceptionally well. Our third place prize went to Mohamed Dirie
in grade 8, our second place prize went to Dhaha Ahmed also in
grade 8, and finally our first place prize went to Ali Yildiz in grade 7.

THE GUITAR CLUB
This year our students formed a guitar club to learn acoustic
tunes taught by their music teacher, Mr. Kallushi. Their dedication
to their music was indisputable, as they got together every
Tuesday to work on their music. By the end of the school year
they learned Surfin’ Safari and House of the Rising Sun. AMAZING ADVENTURES: NILE FIELD TRIPS
BLAST OFF! TRIP TO THE
ONTARIO SCIENCE CENTRE
On May 11th, Mr. Cure and Mr. Howard took our grade 9 students to
the Ontario Science Centre. They explored the planetarium and all its
interesting contraptions. In the IMAX Theater Dome they watched “A
Beautiful Planet” where they blasted off into space to get a view of our
world from afar. The IMAX Dome provided a view of the galaxy as if they
were aboard the NASA space station. Our students and teachers had the
opportunity to learn about the severe impact we as humans have on
planet earth. By the end of the trip everyone felt increasingly mindful
of their ecological footprint and further motivated to care for our planet.
GEOCACHING WITH MR. BOWRING
ESL classes made their way into Rowntree Mills Park to hunt for Geocaches while
enjoying nature and the sunshine.
Geocaching is a sport that is part treasure hunt, part technology, and part hiking.
Students used cellphones with the Geocaching App to locate hidden ‘caches’. Hiking
through the park, often through the forest, students arrived at the GPS coordinates
and hunted around for small, concealed jars. Inside each cache is a logbook the
students signed. They also updated the App, marking the cache found and even
including a photo. It was nice way to enjoy the change in weather and experience
an activity the students had just read about in their school work.

boys visited many popular destinations, including the Washington Monument,
the National WWII Memorial, the White House, in Washington and Times Square
in New York.
CHANGE YOUR WORLD 2016
Another conference has come and gone and it was great to see so many
young people who are interested and engaged in making their world a
better place. This was our second year at the conference, and our first year
attending it at York University. For some of the students it was their first
look at a university and it was cool to have them get a first-hand look at a
possible post-secondary destination. Some of the more impactful student
workshops revolved around human rights, the concept of consent, or
taking an active role in making a difference in environmental protection.
Teachers had their own schedule of workshops, which included discussions
about creating videos, creating partnerships with
students in solving issues, and tools and strategies
that can be used in the classroom to help teachers
and students talk about important global issues.

types of offences, and sentencing. After our discussion, we captured a

Judge. Following the question and answer period, Nile students visited
criminal court
proceedings and
expressed their awe
to the difference they find
between television shows
and real-life cases. Students
witnessed trial by jury and

NILE RELIEF CLUB TRIP TO
HAITI & MIAMI
In April 2016, the Nile Relief Club traveled to Haiti and Miami for
some philanthropy and fun. They began their trip in Haiti where
they visited 3 different orphanages. They learned that after the
devastating hurricane in 2010, many children were left without
family. As a result, there are as many as 100 orphanages in Haiti.
The country is overpopulated, reaching up to 4 million people in
the capitol city alone. The roads make it very difficult to travel, since
they have been reduced to rubble. In short, the country is in dire
need of support and the Nile Relief Club traveled there provide as
much assistance as they could. Mr. Mustafa Cure, Hasan Ercan, Utku
Pekova, and Huseyin Celtikoglu were there to help.
They visited 3 orphanages in total; one for girls, and two for
both boys and girls. They quickly learned that it didn’t take
much to make a child happy. Just a small piece of candy put
the biggest smile on each youngster’s face. They gave them
clothing, and financial aid raised from fundraisers held by their
school. Overall, the trip was an enlightening one, and Nile plans
to make it a regular visit.
After their time spent in Haiti, the Relief Club stopped in Miami
for a day of fun. They spent time soaking up the sun on the
beach, and catching waves in the ocean.

GREAT FOOD AND GREAT COMPANY!
Every week, local members of our community have been
generously hosting Nile students for breakfast. Students have
had the opportunity to strengthen their bond with local
families through healthy food and quality time. Many thanks
to the generous families who welcome us into their homes!
SPIRIT WEEK 2015
We had so much excitement about Spirit Week this
year, we decided to extend it to three weeks! When we
initially began, our goal was to raise $500 for the SickKids
Foundation. Thanks to our passionate and dedicated
students, we were not only able to beat our original goal,
but we more than doubled it! We raised a whopping total
of $1272.22 in donations–10 times the amount of funds we
raised last year!
The source of the funds raised have been a result of some
exciting events happening around the school. We have had
some very successful buy out periods which included movie
screenings, soccer and basketball tournaments, and video
arcades. The event that generated the most revenue was the
Besiktas vs Galatasaray game where students paid $5 to watch
the soccer match. In that one
event, we were able to raise over
$450! Other events that have
also been successful include
the lunchtime DJ, and the snack
trolley.
Spirit Week wouldn’t have
been a success without all the
time and effort Mr. Barter put
into planning and organizing.
Thanks Mr. Barter!

at Nile Academy. In American Gladiator Jousting, students
had to simultaneously master balance and strength, or
otherwise be knocked off the pedestal by their opponent.
In the boxing ring, students had to learn to take a hit from
massive inflatable boxing gloves, or be boinked out of the
ring. Bubble soccer was a true testament to ones control of
their center of gravity. If it was lacking, they may have found
themselves upside down!
The Carnival was a test to each person’s speed, agility, and
