International Women’s Day Walk

On Friday, March 4th, our Community Service Team organized a “Community Day” in honour of International Women’s Day. All students, faculty and staff participated in the Community Day, which included a fundraiser for Care Canada and a reflective walk.

Just prior to the walk, the Senior School held an assembly which featured a reading of Audre Lorde’s poem “A Litany of Survival”, and an original work by Tammy, Gr. 10, called “What Does it Mean to Be a Woman?” Following the assembly, the whole school warmed up on the field. The Grade 11 and 12s were once again paired up with their Grade 1-3 “buddy” for the walk.

Watch the video below from Care Canada to see why we are “walking in her shoes”.

Community Day: Jeans Day and Family Services of the North Shore

Community Day today!

The Senior School is in their civvies to support the development of mental health-oriented outreach programs at Family Services of the North Shore, and the Junior School is in their jeans for BC Children’s Hospital Jeans Day. Jr. School staff were challenged to donate $25 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Jeans Day. “Not For Ourselves Alone” in action:
