Summary
Christina Piccinin inspires her classmates at Bishop Allen Academy both on and off the court. As captain of the school volleyball team, Piccinin led the Cardinals to a gold medal at OFSAA, adding to a bronze medal and city and provincial titles. She also won a city title with the varsity soccer team and played senior basketball. Outside of school, Piccinin plays competitive volleyball with Etobicoke 381. After putting in long hours to improve her game physically and mentally, Piccinin saw her hopes of playing post-secondary volleyball put on hold when she tore her ACL late in the season. But she is staying positive despite this setback, displaying the perseverance and leadership qualities that help her lead vocational summer camps, welcome Grade 9 students to BA’s annual orientation camp, and volunteer at the 2015 Pan Am Games. Piccinin is president of her school’s athletic council and an honour roll student in the gifted program. In the fall, she plans to study political science.
