In the 2024/25 school year, our class assistant was Filip Mrkić. He encouraged and motivated our students to communicate in their heritage language, strongly emphasizing learning Cyrillic. Filip developed specialized methods to make learning Cyrillic easier and more accessible for children in Canada. He also delivered a series of lectures on Serbian history, which our students thoroughly enjoyed.

Filip Mrkić is a computer science and history student at York University. He is actively involved in the Serbian community in Toronto—writing articles for SAN magazine, leading the Serbian Students’ Association, and volunteering at the Serbian Center. In his free time, he tutors students in mathematics, programming, and history and assists in karate and jiu-jitsu programs. Fluent in English and Serbian, with proficiency in French, in our Serbian class, Filip is especially dedicated to helping students who struggle with Serbian, encouraging and motivating them to communicate in their heritage language.
