Remembering Alumnus Randy Starkman

We announce with sadness the untimely passing of a Mackenzie graduate-Randy Starkman.

Randy’s Yearbook Message indicated that he wanted to become a sports writer and this dream came true; he spent the last few decades writing for the Toronto Star and was renowned as being one of the top sports journalists in Canada.

Messages of respect from media have been broadcast across the country. The Mackenzie Community sends its condolences to Randy’s family and friends.

Mackenzie students continue to show their excellence in independent competitions. At the University of Waterloo Mathematics competition, our grade nine students placed first in the GTA! The following chart shows our outstanding results:

  • Pascal (G.9) contest: GTA #1; Ontario #4; Canada #7. (94 students wrote)
  • Cayley (G.10) contest: GTA #7; Ontario #50; Canada #101 (30 students wrote)
  • Fermat (G. 11) contest: GTA #8; Ontario #48; Canada #96. (30 students wrote)

 

Our amazing Mathematics department has prepared our students for success!

Our Chess team also rose to the top in winning the Toronto North Region championship tournament. They are now going on to compete in the City finals. Good luck Mackenzie Lyons! A big thank you goes out to Ms. Teper for leading the team to greatness.
