Annual Review: A Year in the Life of St. George's School

RESILIENCE

A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF ST. GEORGE’S SCHOOL

BUILDING FINE YOUNG MEN. ONE BOY AT A TIME.

ST. GEORGE’S SCHOOL is a strong academic university preparatory institution with selective entrance standards. Offering a Boarding Program for Grades 8 to 12 and a Day Program for Kindergarten to Grade 12, St. George’s is committed to its Mission of building fine young men. The School encourages the pursuit of excellence in all endeavours, and is committed to the healthy growth of body, mind, and spirit. Character development, leadership, and service opportunities are integral to the School’s mission.

This Annual Report tells the story of St. George’s School as it navigated the storms, unpredictability, and anxiety of a global pandemic.

It’s a story of resilience as our community came together to ensure that, despite significant restrictions and logistical challenges, the School was able to remain open and to offer the fullest educational program possible for nearly the entire school year.

It tells the story of achievement over adversity as our Graduating Class received thrilling opportunities to study at an array of leading universities and programs throughout Canada and around the world.

It tells the story of the parents of our School who found ways to stay connected and engaged as they reimagined SGPA activities and continued with gusto to generate wonderful financial support for the School.

It tells the story of our successful Annual Giving campaign fueled by a parent body that remained engaged and interested in the future needs of the School.

It tells the story of strong enrollment and retention, which ultimately provided a strong financial footing that enabled the School to nimbly respond to multiple challenges.

It tells the story of the final year of Dr. Tom Matthews’ leadership of St. George’s School, reminding us how fortunate we are to have been steered by his strong and kind leadership.

And as a shovel firmly hit the ground and the first steps of construction began, it tells the story of a school aiming boldly towards the future even as the pandemic continued.

It’s a good story. I encourage you to read it.

An Annual Report tells the story of the year gone by. And last year was a particularly important story.

DAVID YOUNG HEAD OF SCHOOL

We enjoy a strong reputation for boy-centred teaching and learning and aspire to be among the best independent schools in the world. Our School remains committed to character education and the development of fine young men equipped to lead lives of purpose.

This past year saw the retirement of our beloved Head of School, Dr. Tom Matthews, along with his magnificent wife, Sheena. We achieved many successes under his stewardship, including inspirational leadership, forward-thinking pedagogy, reinvigorated boarding, the reimagining of our facilities, historic fundraising, outstanding management, and tireless work to strengthen and deepen our relationships with our boys, parents, alumni, and neighbours, including the Musqueam First Nation.

We were delighted to welcome our new Head of School, Mr. David Young and his lovely wife, Sue, in August 2021. Mr. Young is an authentic and engaging educator and administrator. We are confident that he has the vision, skills, and energy to successfully lead us and develop our evolving vision for the future of boy-centred education at Saints.

The School is in great shape, with historic levels of application for admission, extremely high re-enrollment, and bestin-class university acceptances in terms of variety, location, and global reputation of institutions. Our Boarding Program remains vibrant, with an unparalleled diversity of students from around the globe, from huge cities and small towns, and from households who have faced very different paths to arrive at our School.

Our reputation for excellence continues to attract top-quality educators and administrators, and we celebrate our 10th year of being honoured among the Top Employers in British Columbia. We are committed to every employee being known and cared for, one employee at a time. During this extended period of challenge, we are truly blessed by our full complement of passionate, dedicated, inspiring, and hard-working people.

Our ambitious construction project at the Senior School campus commenced this summer! This will result in facilities that are more conducive to and supportive of our continuing mission to prepare our young men for the rapid pace of change that will face them in coming decades.

We remain grateful for our vibrant and evolving community. The Foundation has been a remarkable steward of our endowment and finances, the SGPA have been tremendous at building and maintaining our supportive community, and our OBA have been energetic and ambitious at connecting our alumni together, for life.

Thank you to Mr. Young, and to all who contribute to the School’s success every day. I am particularly grateful to the exceptional members of our Society Board, with whom I am honoured and grateful to serve.

Sine Timore Aut Favore

What a year! We continue in our mission to become one of Canada’s preeminent schools.

OUR ACADEMIC PROFILE

Beginning in Kindergarten, students build a strong academic foundation while focusing on personal growth and social, emotional learning. Soft skills such as critical thinking, communication and creativity are embedded in all we do, creating kind, resilient young learners with a strong sense of character. When boys enter the Senior School, this foundation is expanded on in an environment dedicated to preparing students for lives full of purpose including post-secondary endeavours, community contribution, and personal growth.

2020-21 was the second year of the global pandemic and instruction in cohort groups. Thanks to the efforts and ingenuity of our staff, faculty, and students we were able to continue to provide a world-class education in a safe setting.

ADVANCED

EXAMS

St. George’s School continues to rank amongst the very best in the world in the College Board’s Advanced Placement (AP) Program, as shown by our students’ achievements noted in the statistics here. AP Courses are directly comparable to first-year university-level courses, and the majority of Canadian and American universities will grant first-year credit for courses where students have excelled on the corresponding AP examinations.

ACADEMIC OVERVIEW

Our faculty demonstrated their flexibility and creativity by developing new learning opportunities for this unique school year that the students will remember for years to come.

2020-21 marked our inaugural year of Kindergarten at St. George’s! We transformed our Junior School Chapel into two interconnected kindergarten spaces filled with engaging building materials and manipulatives to inspire students to explore and ask questions. Highlights of the year included monthly “Wilderness Wednesday” trips to explore the forest, becoming newscasters to deliver weather reports, making yummy treats, designing STEM projects, and celebrating our 100th Day of School dressed as if we were 100 years old. To complete the year, we held our first Kindergarten Wing Ceremony and the boys officially joined their St. George’s Wings for Grade 1.

The Primary classrooms continue to be a vibrant and thriving place to learn and grow. Grade 1s hatched butterflies, and Grade 2s raised, hatched, and released salmon fry. They also hatched duck eggs and had a livestream camera focused on the incubator so they could watch from home as their precious ducklings hatched. In Grade 3, students learned how stories can teach us about ourselves, our families, and our community. They read and wrote memoirs, tried their hand at drafting a graphic novel, and learned about indigenous communities through their stories. The primary grades also conducted audits of their classroom libraries, and worked to update their collections to reflect more diversity in characters and cultures. If you look in any primary classroom today, you will find books that showcasing a variety of ethnicities and religious faiths.

The Grade 4 teachers deployed Seesaw to complement their teaching and exhibit student learning. The app allows students to create their own learning portfolios—giving them an active role in improving their responsibility and independence—and provides parents a snapshot of their sons’ daily life at school. In Grade 5, smaller cohorts and limited school events allowed an expansion of our academic programming and a deeper dive into inquiry projects, including a mission to develop an invention using natural resources. They also connected to the community in new ways, going online with parent guest speakers who were experts in a given topic or showcasing places around the world on our screens. The Outdoor Education Program also adapted, creating day trips to Grouse Mountain to explore the snow, walking in Pacific Spirit Park, and exploring the Britannia Mining Museum. These experiences help our students feel connected to their peers, environment, and community through shared experiences and learning to communicate in a variety of ways.

Grade 6 and 7 teachers combined Math and Science subjects into a STEM course, and Language Arts and Social Studies merged into a Humanities course. Within these, students considered the interrelated aspects of the united curriculums and how they might apply their learning in a real-world context. Design Lab week, originally instituted as a capstone project for Grade 7, was expanded. Students were tasked with redesigning portions of our outdoor education spaces from primary, intermediate, and Senior School perspectives to create additional outdoor classrooms to adapt to the ongoing challenges of the pandemic. The design thinking principles of empathizing with a client, prototyping initial designs, gathering feedback, and ‘iterating’ updated designs based on that feedback were presented through digital platforms and physical prototypes. Students demonstrated their increasing knowledge of the design thinking process while collaborating with multiple students, teachers, staff, and community members.

FINE YOUNG MEN

STUDENT

Each year, through the Graduating Class Exit Survey, our graduates are asked to reflect on the most significant aspects of their school experience. Unequivocally, our students comment on the meaningful relationships that they formed within our community. The power of relationships has become a value-added and distinguishable facet of the St. George’s student experience. These meaningful relationships stem from our intentional approach to Character Education and how our Core Values are defined, taught, modelled, upheld, acknowledged, and celebrated daily.

Boarding provides a unique opportunity for students to live and learn as part of an active and vibrant school community. What makes residential life at St. George’s unique is our urban surroundings: we live in a safe, residential area that is only minutes away from the heart of one of the world’s most exciting cities. Harker Hall, our dedicated boarding facility, is a diverse, engaging environment that is warm, welcoming, and conducive to effective learning. To support our belief in the well-rounded boy, we offer an extensive Activities Program and Residential Life Curriculum.

A unique and defining feature of St. George’s School is the breadth and depth of our programs. This is never more evident than in the selection of elective Clubs & Activities offered to our boys at lunchtime, after school, and on the weekends. Some clubs travel to competitions out of town for one to two weeks, even through the holidays. Every club or activity has at least one faculty or staff sponsor, and as many as 98% of the boys participate in one or more co-curricular activities at both Schools.

FOSTERING LEADERSHIP

In the fall of 2020, with the pandemic still wreaking havoc on our ability to gather, let alone return to regular school programming, the Outdoor Education department set to work figuring out how to transform our traditional overnight camps and expeditions into fulfilling and meaningful day trips. Experts in mitigating risk, we recognized both our responsibility and our opportunity to offer what so many were missing—a measure of freedom from the restrictions in place as a result of COVID-19.

While navigating a brand-new school schedule and the integration of two Kindergarten classes into our community, we were able to offer outdoor experiences to all students in K-Grade 10, as well as continue to facilitate Discovery, our year-long Grade 10 Outdoor Education cohort program. We also coordinated outdoor experiences for Elevate, a newly designed leadership-focused cohort program.

WHAT

A WORLD OF

More than 80 years ago, the value of including a strong Athletics Program in the education of boys of St. George’s School was recognized. Decades later, we offer a diverse array of competitive and recreational programs to challenge our boys athletically and socially. Our coaches work to ensure that positive character development is always integrated into each boy’s experience on and off the field, during practices, games, tournaments, and on trips and tours. The ‘pursuit of excellence’ is a key element in the structure of our competitive sport programs ensuring our athletes are prepared to continue their growth and development at the next level. Great memories, wonderful experiences, and strong relationships are expected outcomes from our co-curricular Athletics Program.

JUNIOR SCHOOL PHYSICAL HEALTH AND EDUCATION

Managing Physical Health and Education (PHE) was challenging due to COVID guidelines, but we continued to provide our students with as full a curriculum as possible under the circumstances. Boys were organized into cohorts or learning groups and were able to experience a full range of activities. Within instructional classes, students enjoyed opportunities to practice new skills, refine old ones, and test their skills in game situations.

Wing Games continued to provide a healthy level of competition, and we also found opportunities for enrichment activities like dance to take place. Resilience was our hallmark for the year!

Recreational Sport Programs

The School supports all levels of involvement with all of our sports and co-curricular programs. Students are encouraged to be multi-sport athletes and to try new sports or activities to broaden their experiences and challenge their bodies and minds. From a focus on the pursuit of excellence in highly challenging and complex training and competition that could lead to national and international experiences, to a recreational level where enjoyment is the primary goal, all student-athletes and coaches are encouraged to integrate the School’s Core Values of empathy, humility, integrity, resiliency, respect, and responsibility into their involvement in all aspects of our sports program.

Whether it’s designing, building, and lighting stage sets, acting, high-tech animation, painting, drawing, sculpting, or programming, Saints’ boys love to explore and develop their creative talents. The choices at St. George’s School are unparalleled and include opportunities to act in semi-professional productions annually, play in one of ten major bands and ensembles, take a master class with renowned international artists and musicians, compete for one of the much-prized arts scholarships, or exhibit their work publicly. Students are also engaged in applied design-focused creativity through business stimulations and competitions, building robots, writing code, or crafting exquisite pieces in our wood shop.

MUSIC HIGHLIGHTS

Over the past two years the Junior School students have worked a lot on their music technology skills. Boys spent time learning how to record their practice sessions at home, and then use these recordings to reflect on and improve their skills. Due to the restrictions on having large gatherings, St. George’s has created virtual concerts each term and shared these digitally with parents and families. The Grade 7s have also taken on a special role in the Remembrance Day Ceremony, where each boy makes an individual recording of “O Canada” that is later combined into a large multimedia project featuring 88 students playing together in a virtual performance.

The Junior School even presented their musical, Could You Hug a Cactus, online by filming each scene using a green screen to create the staging. There were even four different casts so that all boys between Grades 4 and 7 who were interested could participate!

Service Learning continues to flourish under its mandate to give back and educate in meaningful ways through three areas: community engagement, philanthropy, and awareness campaigns. Student commitment to Service Learning and charitable endeavours is tracked during their time at St. George’s. Students achieving 300 hours of volunteer service, with at least 100 hours taking place in their Grade 12 year, are honoured with a Level Five Service award and submit a written piece documenting their experiences, with reflections on what their volunteer work has meant to them.

Flexibility and responsiveness were the themes of Global Stewardship this year. Entering a full year where most of our typical programming remained unavailable required creativity on the part of students and faculty alike.

Over 80 Grade 10-12 students participated in Elevate, a new community leadership program, which focused on personal development, leadership skills, and best practices in community engagement. Students learned practical skills in project planning and worked towards a community impact project driven by their own interests and passions. Two such projects were Shellevate—a project working with Sodexo to repurpose egg shells into fertilizer—and Fair for All, which started by recycling used computers to provide devices to Thunderbird

Elementary students during remote learning and grew to offering online classes in computer programming and more.

One of the major highlights of the year was the success of the annual Hamper Drive. Forced to completely reinvent how we partner with our recipient families and agencies in the midst of COVID restrictions, the whole St. George’s community rallied to provide tremendous financial support for the greater community. More than 1000 individuals in nearly 250 families benefited from grocery gift cards to help provide for their needs during the holidays. We look forward to future Hamper Drives when we will be able to more fully engage with the wider Saints community in these community-building traditions.

The SGPA Board works on behalf of the St. George’s Community to facilitate and coordinate parent engagement. Through its many events, its role is to create a vibrant community where parents participate through volunteering their time and talent for the betterment of our boys, the School, and parents themselves.

As a wonderful by-product of many SGPA events, substantial funds are raised to support the School. Important examples of the impact of SGPA fundraising efforts include:

• Support for the Head of School’s Fund that allows for immediate financial intervention for Saints families experiencing loss or difficulty; and

• Enhancement of programs with new equipment and/or amenities.

We recognize that an independent school education is a significant financial investment. St. George’s School is committed to attracting and retaining students from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds who have the potential and passion to thrive through access to our program. The School’s Financial Aid Program has been developed to assist families who, without financial assistance, would not be able to afford the cost of a St. George’s School education. We believe that attracting the very best students to St. George’s benefits the entire school community. The Financial Aid Program is funded through Endowment Fund income and the annual operating budget, both of which benefit from donated funds.
