Congratulations go out to Samiyah Khan and Sarah Crook for their strong performance in this year’s Begbie History Competition. 


Over 1300 students from across Canada partake in the contest and both of our girls placed in the top 10% of all competitors.  The contest is designed for Senior High School students, so needless to say, our girls did exceptionally well.


Congratulations Samiyah and Sarah!

Once again we are offering a Grade 8 “All Boys” program for the 2012-2013 school year. Current national, provincial and local data indicates that girls are outperforming boys in almost all academic subject areas in school. In fact, our school’s data from the past year indicates that girls are outperforming boys in every single academic area. It has become clear that many boys would benefit from a shift in our approach to teaching them.
