Maples Met School student Avnoor Dhaliwal has achieved an impressive academic

milestone by finishing first in Manitoba on the prestigious Canadian Association of

Physicists (CAP) High School Prize Exam.

The CAP High School Test is a challenging, university-level physics competition

designed to recognize exceptional physics students across Canada. It encourages

students to think critically and apply advanced problem-solving skills to real-world

physics scenarios. The exam is open to high school students from across the country

who are nominated by their teachers based on academic performance and interest in

physics.

This year, 106 students from 14 schools across Manitoba participated in the exam.

Nationally, 710 students from 146 schools wrote the test.

Among this talented field, Avnoor Dhaliwal stood out, earning the top score in

Manitoba and placing 46th overall in Canada. This remarkable accomplishment

reflects not only Avnoor’s hard work and dedication, but also the strength of science

education at Maples Met School.

Avnoor’s achievement is a source of pride for the school community and a testament to

the potential of young scientists in Manitoba to excel at a national level.
