Academics is one of the areas awarded at Top Talents. It is the academics which structure our overall character, our judgments and our outlook on life. The Canadian Tamil Youth Alliance appreciates young academic achievers who persistently attempt to shape our community through the Tamil Language. CTYA recognizes and honors students who have achieved high academic goals through hard work and a dedication to learning.
The Tamil Language Award falls under the category Academics Awards. It is academics that will shape and structure overall character, judgement, and ones outlook on life. Academics gives you the foundation and tools to achieve dreams and goals you set for yourself at a young age. The Tamil Language Award is awarded to the individual who demonstrates perseverance, passion, and determination for learning. It is important to maintain the Tamil culture in Canada, especially when it is so easy to assimilate wholly into Western culture. The student must have the ability to participate in extracurricular activities while maintaining strong academic results. The winner of this award is an exceptional Tamil Language student in the advanced level Tamil credit course for 2010-2011. She has been learning the Tamil language at TACT since she was in grade two. Besides her strong abilities to write, read and comprehend in the Tamil language; she also sings, plays the violin and dances.
