Surpassing Limits at the Be Unlimited Conference

On February 22, two teams represented Greenwood at the Be Unlimited Conference held at the University of Toronto. The event was sponsored by CPA Ontario and gave students in Grades 10 to 12 a competitive opportunity to hone their finance and accounting skills. Students signed up to participate in the competition.

Kennedy Gilchrist ‘25, Azra Jinnah ‘25 and Sophie Lamb ‘25 formed one team while Dillon Browning Rodriguez ‘25, Cameron Hepworth ‘25, Brendan St John ‘25 and Loukas Yantsulis ‘25 formed the other. Dillon, Cameron, Brendan and Loukas won second place at the competition. They credit their experiences in DECA and business class with preparing them for the case competition and public speaking. “We’re going back next year to get first place,” promises Cameron ‘25. The team later presented their award to Sarah Bruce, Principal. 

The experience provided students with practical experience in developing their leadership, collaboration and communication skills. Students also had to find resourceful methods to resolve their case competition. “What Greenwood does really well is being on the forefront of technology and encouraging the use of tools like ChatGPT,” says Sophie ‘25. “I found it was very helpful for our team to brainstorm possible solutions.” 

Great work and initiative to the teams!
