ST. JOHN'S, N.L. - In many ways, Serhii Semenets is like any other 17-year-old starting Grade 11 in Newfoundland this week. He likes playing guitar, he struggles with Shakespeare, and his ideal dinner is a plate of poutine.
In May 2022, Serhii Semenets fled his home country of Ukraine to move to Newfoundland, now he s starting Grade 11 in St. John s, a city he calls his "second home."
