2025 Korea Day for High School Credit Students

The Korean Education Affairs Section from the Korean Consulate in Toronto (Head: Jihoon Jang) hosted 2025 Korea Day at the University of Toronto, on March 8th, for Ontario High School Credit Course Students. The event is aimed at celebrating the achievements of high school students, who actively engage in Korean language and cultural immersion, and to allow those students to connect with their peers and to meet other like-minded students from across the province.

The opening half of the event began with the first round of the speech contest, which included 10 non-Korean division contestants and 3 Korean division contestants. Following the speeches, the top 8 non-Korean contestants were selected by judges to move on to the next round at the 2025 Toronto Korean Speech Contest, which is scheduled for March 15th at the University of Toronto. Following the speech contest, an information session on the 2025 Summer Korean Immersion Camp and Study in Korea opportunities and testimonials were held.

The second half of the event included a raffle draw, that gave attendees a chance to win a variety of Korean snacks and prizes, and a talent show that involved 29 students (10 teams/solo participants) from across 7 schools. Concluding the talent show, the audience voted for their favorite team and based on the results, the top 3 teams were awarded.
