Greenwood Secondary School and Tolin Abuaziza

Greenwood: And the teens at Greenwood Secondary School — all recently arrived refugees and immigrants — don’t want it to close and move into nearby Danforth Collegiate, according to Toronto Star. They accuse the school board of stacking the deck against them and not listening to their concerns. They consider their fellow students and teachers family. Of the 10 schools in the area that came under review, Greenwood is the easy one, said student council vice-president Tolin Abuaziza, who emigrated from Palestine little over a year ago. At any other school, parents would stand up and be angry — maybe even hire a lawyer — saying, ‘Keep the school open.’ But we can’t. We don’t know anything about Canada, about the school system.
