It was the perfect day for Grade 6 French students

It was the perfect day for Grade 6 French students to complete a survey of our beautiful campus, then write a paragraph in French describing what they observed.

On Friday, Grade 8 students launched their PBL uni

On Friday, Grade 8 students launched their PBL unit on "Society" by completing the totem tour in downtown Duncan.

Later in the afternoon at Innisfree Farm, the teams competed with each other to build their own versions of a "perfect society." Thank you to our judges Ms. Dobson and Ms. Klumper for listening to their presentations.

It was the perfect way to end a great first full week of school!

This weekend, boarding students embarked on a Clue

This weekend, boarding students embarked on a CluedUpp adventure around Victoria where they traveled throughout the city solving puzzles.

Then they had a chance to explore the city and shop.

It was a great opportunity to get to see more of our beautiful provincial capital!

Today, we launch the 2023-2024 Annual Fund!

"We had a lovely Donor Recognition evening a few days ago at which we reminded everyone that we raised over $2,000,000 last year from donations, with almost $350,000 of that in the Annual Fund. These figures bring us huge joy as they permit us to do so much more in providing outstanding experiences for our students and staff. As you can imagine, we take nothing for granted and we know that our responsibility is to use gifts wisely and to good effect.

As we launch our Annual Fund for this year, I hope that you will consider supporting us. We encourage you to take a moment to watch this heartfelt video of our students showcasing the impact of our Annual Fund. Our slogan is “Making Dreams Come True” for our young people and there can surely be no worthier cause than that.
