Forward Momentum Our Report Card 2014-2015 FORWARD MOMENTUM OUR REPORT CARD 2014-2015 1 2 BUILDING FINE YOUNG MEN. ONE BOY AT A TIME. 3 According to a wide range of indicators, the 2014-15 academic year was characterized by an impressive range of accomplishments reflecting a strong commitment to ongoing School improvement. Central to this process was our first-ever accreditation by Canadian Accredited Independent Schools (CAIS). The resulting Report concluded “that St. George’s is an excellent school,” and that this excellence is reflected “in the high number of commendations….contrasted with the relatively small number of recommendations for improvement.” In addition to commending our teachers “for the work they do in pursuing and maintaining the high standards,” the Report acknowledged them “for the sense of security with which they examine what they do in order to make the school a better place.” As well, the Visiting Committee was greatly impressed by the “pervasive sense of renewal and aspiration for continued – or expanded – success” that they observed, noting that the “sense of a school with forward momentum was palpable.” In addition to passing the CAIS accreditation with flying colours, we enjoyed many other successes in 2014-15. Once again, our boys excelled on wide range of external tests, including BC’s Foundation Skills Assessment and the College Board’s Advanced Placement Examinations. Just as impressive is the fact that our 162 graduates received more than 690 university acceptances at 147 different post-secondary institutions, along with more than $2 million in merit-based scholarships. The incredible diversity of these offers attests to our success in helping each boy find the program and university that are for him the best fit. In 2014-15, the richness of our students’ co-curricular experiences paralleled their academic achievements. With a broad range of clubs, recreational sports, and competitive teams from which to choose, every boy had ample opportunity to stretch himself and to find his niche. Close to 82% of them played on at least one competitive team, and out of 55 possible teams, no fewer than 6 were successful in reaching Provincial or National Championships. As well, our Music Program received 12 Gold Medals provincially, and our students participated in an expanded array of Student Leadership and Service Learning initiatives. Our Strategic Plan continued to move forward bringing with it a variety of initiatives enhancing student experiences. In response to our Campus Master Plan, we launched The ONE Campaign in order to raise the $40 million that will be required to renovate the current Junior School building and construct new learning spaces on the Senior School campus. Altogether, we raised $4.59 million in cash donations for the School, and by the end of June more than $12. 4 million had been committed to The ONE Campaign in cash & pledges. As we know from our most recent survey, the vast majority of our students love their School. They are happy to be here, just as they are keen to make us proud of them. As one Graduate of 2015 wrote: “St. George’s has given me unforgettable memories, lifelong friendships, and a strong foundation for my future. I know that when I graduate this June, I will look back at my high school years with gratification and be proud to be a Georgian.” Above and beyond any of the accomplishments included in this document, those words convey the essence of what makes this such a great school. St. George’s engages, motivates, and inspires boys and young men, and in the process, it helps them become the very best human beings they are capable of becoming. I am grateful to everyone who contributed to the success of 2014-15 school year. I am honoured to serve as the School’s eighth Headmaster, and hope that you will share my sense of accomplishment as you read our Report Card for 2014-15. DR. TOM MATTHEWS HEADMASTER 4 While teachers at St. George’s are always looking for various and diverse ways to track our boys’ progress and competencies, the report card still seems to be a key tracking measure. So it should come as no surprise that the Board and senior administration anxiously awaited the results of our first-ever CAIS accreditation process, the closest thing that exists to a whole school report card. Phew! Were we ever happy. While Dr. Matthews elaborates on the details of the Report in this and other publications, and the entire Report is available on the school website, I am so happy to report that the Board has been strongly encouraged by the results. Perhaps the most encouraging thing about the Report though is not what you might first expect. While we were delighted to be given an unqualified accreditation with a record number of highlights and commendations, we were most encouraged by the response of our teaching staff and administration. Yes, the report confirms we are a great school, but still there is more to do. There was no sense of resting on our laurels or relaxing for a break. Rather, all involved just redoubled their commitments to areas like Growth & Renewal, enhanced safety, continuing improvement of co-curriculars, and really every other aspect of school life. This response really models the reactions we hope for from our sons as they progress through the school: if it is good, enjoy your success but keep working to improve anyway; if it is weak, investigate, plan a response, execute that and then reassess. I believe this modeling of improvement is so healthy for our boys and will serve them well in future academic endeavours and beyond as they enter the workplace and the world to improve the future for all of us. So, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our staff who worked so hard on this CAIS accreditation process, not just for the enormous effort that went into preparing for it but also for your wonderful response to the Report and your serious efforts to use it to make our School even better. One key message in the Accreditation Report was the expressed need to renew our teaching spaces, particularly at the Senior School. This is a key area of focus for the Board right now as we work to both plan the building and raise the funds. We know we have a really effective program for the boys, now we need the spaces to match. The School is in an excellent financial position with no debt. We are now actively working on the ONE Campaign for whole school space renewal. I have made a commitment to meet with every family in the School to ask you to further partner with us as we work together to raise these funds. I believe that we have a world-class education for our boys and I believe providing world-class facilities will only improve our faculty’s abilities to keep delivering the best education possible. Together, we will be able to create spaces for the next hundred years of teaching at Saints. So, when you get an invitation to join me and hear our plan, please come along with an excitement and anticipation of what we can achieve together so all Georgians, past, current and future, will continue to be proud of the school that has shaped the character of so many fine young men.

  • Self-Guiding Geology Tour of Stanley Park
    Page 1 of 30 Self-guiding geology tour of Stanley Park Points of geological interest along the sea-wall between Ferguson Point & Prospect Point, Stanley Park, a distance of approximately 2km. (Terms in bold are defined in the glossary) David L. Cook P.Eng; FGAC. Introduction:- Geomorphologically Stanley Park is a type of hill called a cuesta (Figure 1), one of many in the Fraser Valley which would have formed islands when the sea level was higher e.g. 7000 years ago. The surfaces of the cuestas in the Fraser valley slope up to the north 10° to 15° but approximately 40 Mya (which is the convention for “million years ago” not to be confused with Ma which is the convention for “million years”) were part of a flat, eroded peneplain now raised on its north side because of uplift of the Coast Range due to plate tectonics (Eisbacher 1977) (Figure 2). Cuestas form because they have some feature which resists erosion such as a bastion of resistant rock (e.g. volcanic rock in the case of Stanley Park, Sentinel Hill, Little Mountain at Queen Elizabeth Park, Silverdale Hill and Grant Hill or a bed of conglomerate such as Burnaby Mountain). Figure 1: Stanley Park showing its cuesta form with Burnaby Mountain, also a cuesta, in the background. Page 2 of 30 Figure 2: About 40 million years ago the Coast Mountains began to rise from a flat plain (peneplain). The peneplain is now elevated, although somewhat eroded, to about 900 metres above sea level. The average annual rate of uplift over the 40 million years has therefore been approximately 0.02 mm.

  • Anglican Archives in Rupert's Land by WILMA MACDONALD
    Anglican Archives in Rupert's Land by WILMA MACDONALD Until 1870 the vast area which is now northern Quebec and Ontario, the prairies, Northwest Territories, Yukon, and portions of British Columbia was known as Rupert's Land. Prince Rupert, with sixteen associates, who were incorporated by Letters Patent as the Honourable the Hudson's Bay Company, was granted this vast territory in 1670 by King Charles 11. The new trading company acquired a region extending over 2,700,000 square miles. To protect its lucrative and increasing fur trade, the company successfully resisted attempts to colonize the territory. No effort was made to minister to the few Christian people in the widely scattered forts of the Hudson's Bay Company or to evangelize the native peoples until the early nineteenth century. In 1820, some six years after the tenacious Orkney Islanders established an agricultural settlement on the banks of the Red River, guided there by the Earl of Selkirk, the company sent out an Anglican chaplain, the Reverend John West (1778-1846). Although West was appointed to minister to the company's officers and servants, he also looked after the needs of the small Scottish colony and took great interest in the Indians. He established a school in the Red River settlement on a lot of land set apart for church purposes by thecompany (on which the Cathedral Church of St. John now stands in Winnipeg). West's efforts laid the foundations for missionary work and also marked the beginning of formal education in Manitoba. The small school he began in 1820 was followed by the Red River Academy, founded by John Macallurn and revived by Bishop David Anderson.

  • Klinaklini Heli-Rafting Planning Your Trip…
    KLINAKLINI HELI-RAFTING PLANNING YOUR TRIP…. Thank you for choosing a R.O.A.M. wilderness rafting and hiking trip. We are very excited that you will be joining us for an unforgettable river trip through some of British Columbia’s most spectacular wilderness. In June of 1997, we put together an expedition team of professional guides for the first descent of this incredible mountain waterway. In August of the same year, we operated the first commercial trip with Men’s Journal magazine covering the event. In 1998, complete with supermodels, we operated the first all-woman descent in conjunction with the Donna Karan Corporation of New York and Marie Claire Magazine. Today, this carefully planned state- of-the-art expedition allows participants to travel where it was once unimaginable. If any of your questions remain unanswered, please don’t hesitate to call. We strive to fully prepare you for what to expect on your trip so you can spend your vacation thinking more about smelling the essence of a forest of old growth cedars or a field of Alpine wildflowers than whether or not you brought the right pair of shoes. The Terrain We Cover Rafting the Klinaklini River offers the adventurous traveller a bounty of images and experiences. Your rafting trip begins at the edge of the great interior plateau of British Columbia’s Chilcotin country, at Klinaklini Lake. This lake is a jewel encircled by pristine wilderness and it’s the perfect habitat for moose, grizzly bears, wolves, cougars and eagles. Enveloped by the peaks and canyons of the Coastal Range, you will be able to see Mt.
