2017–18 Report Card

SUCH GREAT HEIGHTS

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 Grades 1 to 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 Report Card functions as a comprehensive annual report and includes a wide range of highlights, ranging from the accomplishments of our students through to the depth and breadth of our programs. Produced on an annual basis, it reflects our commitment to continuous school improvement, as well as our desire to keep the St. George’s community well informed and fully engaged.

Reflecting on the 2017-18 school year, I am struck by how much has been accomplished. Academic accomplishments include stellar Advanced Placement results and another highly successful year with university admissions. The 157 young men constituting the Graduating Class of 2018 received more than 680 acceptances at 120 different post-secondary institutions, along with close to $2 million in meritbased scholarships. The incredible diversity of these results attests to the success of our University Counseling team in helping each student find the program and university that are, for him, the best fit.

The incredible richness of our students’ co-curricular experiences in 2017-18 paralleled their academic success. With over 50 clubs, 26 sports, and 43 competitive teams to choose from in the Senior School alone, every boy had ample opportunity to stretch himself and to find his niche. Close to 30% of students played on at least one competitive team. No fewer than 20 teams were successful in reaching provincial championships with 5 teams bringing home a championship banner. Similarly, our Music Program received a record number of gold rankings, and both Junior and Senior School students participated in an extraordinary array of student leadership, global engagement, and service learning initiatives.

We continue to make solid progress in implementing our Strategic Plan and pursuing its vision of establishing St. George’s as a world leader in the education of boys. Inquiry has been established as the focus of curriculum renewal in the Junior School, and we continue to renew and enhance programs and instruction at the Senior School. The final phase of the renovation of the Junior School will be completed in the fall of 2018 with the unveiling of our brand new Grade 4 Neighbourhood, and the approval of our rezoning application has set the stage for the transformation of the Senior School campus.

As you will see from this Report, St. George’s is an extraordinary school. I am gratified by our accomplishments as a community, and I indebted to everyone who contributed to the success of 2017-18. In particular, I am proud of the boys and young men of St. George’s for their extraordinary dedication and commitment. Not only are they happy to be students at this great school, but they also are keen to meet our expectations and to make us proud of them. What more could anyone ask for?

DR. TOM MATTHEWS HEADMASTER

The Board is proud to record that 2017-18 proved another year of great progress and achievement at St. George’s School.

Under the leadership of Headmaster Matthews, our boys excelled in all areas of endeavour from academics to arts to athletics to service. Our faculty was enhanced with the addition of more than a dozen truly superior educators, and our students continue to flourish both inside and outside of the classroom.

I am also pleased to report ongoing progress in the implementation of the School’s Strategic Plan, especially in the areas of teaching and learning and new programs. Moreover, we continued to upgrade and renovate our facilities with the work on our new Grade 4 Neighbourhood beginning in the summer of 2018. A particularly exciting milestone was the City’s unanimous approval of our rezoning application and the development of a new and inspiring design for our first Senior School project. Consisting of two academic buildings and a new dining hall, it truly will create a new heart for the Senior School.

The School’s finances continue to be well managed, and we enjoyed another successful fundraising year. Donations in excess of $10.5 million were made to the School from the ever generous and supportive Saints community. As we launch the ONE+ Campaign, we are well positioned to meet our goals as we transform the Senior School campus for generations to come.

Finally, I would like to thank the Headmaster, our faculty and our staff, and especially our Board of Directors for moving us toward our goal of becoming a world leader in boys’ education and “Canada’s World School for Boys”.

A WELL-DESERVED REPUTATION

OUR ACADEMIC PROFILE

St. George’s reputation as one of the most academically challenging and competitive high school environments in Canada is long-standing.

BOYS OF CHARACTER

STUDENT BODY PROFILE

FINE YOUNG MEN

OUR STUDENT BODY PROFILE

Each year, through the Graduating Class Exit Survey, our graduates are asked to reflect on the most impactful 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 AT ST. GEORGE’S SCHOOL

AN URBAN RESIDENTIAL LIFE EXPERIENCE

OUR BOARDING PROGRAM

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.

OUR CLUBS

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 cocurricular activity at both Schools.

A NATURAL CURIOSITY

OUTDOOR EDUCATION AT ST. GEORGE’S SCHOOL

LEARNING OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM

FOSTERING LEADERSHIP

The outdoor setting offers a powerful opportunity for supporting many aspects of our educational philosophy. When immersed in nature, away from the comfort of a student’s everyday environment, learning and growth are amplified. Beginning in Grade 1, up to and including Grade 10, all students participate in our Outdoor Education Program at least once a year. Our experiences are designed to build skills and connection in the outdoors. The primary years focus on curiosity via day programs. Grades 4-7 focus on community at camps. Grades 8-10 focus on learning expedition skills to promote leadership and resiliency. In Grade 10 we also offer the Discovery 10 program—an outdoor immersion program for a cohort of engaged boys.

WHERE WE GO

Over 80 trips throughout the year put more than 850 students out for more than 4500 days of student field time each year.

ATHLETICS PROGRAM AT ST. GEORGE’S SCHOOL

ATHLETICS PROGRAM

More than 80 years ago the value of including a strong athletic program for the education of boys of St. George’s School was recognized. Decades later the competitive and recreational sport programs now provide a diverse collection of opportunities for our boys to be challenged athletically and socially. Our coaches work to ensure that positive character development is always integrated into each boys’ experience on and off the field, during practices, games, tournaments, and on tours. Great memories, wonderful experiences, and strong relationships are expected outcomes from our Games Program.

The School supports all levels of involvement with all of our sports programs. The boys 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 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 of our sports programs.

SERVICE LEARNING AT ST. GEORGE’S SCHOOL

WE ARE SERVICE

BUILDING GLOBAL CITIZENS

Service Learning continues to flourish under its mandate to give back and educate in meaningful ways through three areas: volunteer service, charitable fundraising, 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 of those hours taking place in their Grade 12 year, are honoured with a Level Five Service Award and contribute to the Reflections publication, which documents their experiences and reflections on what their volunteer work has meant to them.

2017-18

HIGHLIGHTS

Our grade-wide service programs continued for the Grade 9 and 10 classes. The Grade 9 program was centred around Food Security and included visits to Southlands Farm, UBC Farm, and Nourish Cooking School, an urban foraging workshop, and a welfare food challenge in local grocery stores. Our Grade 10s worked on environmental awareness programs such as The Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup, Surfrider Foundation, Pacific Spirit Park restoration, a Musqueam Ecological Tour, and the Fraser Riverkeepers. All Grade 9 and 10 students took part in three activities related to their theme over the year.

ST. GEORGE’S PARENTS ASSOCIATION

A SENSE OF BELONGING

For more than six decades, the St. George’s Parents Association (SGPA) has actively participated in the life of the School. Through many volunteer and fundraising initiatives, the SGPA engages in a variety of ways with both past and present parents in our school community. The SGPA and its many volunteers devote a significant amount of time in support of the School and the boys in many areas including: Used Uniform Sales; volunteering in the classrooms; providing support at various sporting events; and organizing the always–necessary Lost and Found!

Parent volunteers also work together to host the SGPA Welcome Back Barbecue, seasonal parent socials, the Saints Soireé, and the famous Annual School Fair. We encourage all parents to become involved and get to know fellow families at these SGPA events.

Over 1000 parents work countless hours preparing for and working at the Annual Fair, which takes place on the first Saturday of May. The Fair raises significant funds and is utilized for many purposes, including, most recently, a new Student Gathering Space behind the Junior School. Additional funds from the Fair support various departmental requests at both the Junior and Senior schools, fulfilling program enrichment goals and ultimately enhancing the educational experience for our boys. The goal of the SGPA is to involve all parents in our community in order to enhance the experience of both boys and parents at the School.

A STORY OF TRADITIONS

THE OLD BOYS’ ASSOCIATION

WE ARE GENERATIONS

OUR ALUMNI

An “Old Boy” is any student who has completed one full year at St. George’s School. Each year we add between 150-160 new Old Boys to that list, which is now in excess of 7000 men around the world. The Old Boys’ Association is a not-for-profit society, incorporated in 1950, that works closely with the School and its other Boards with a common goal of support. The primary objectives of the Old Boys’ Association are to connect Old Boys with one another and with the School, to provide mentoring opportunities, and to support the School.

The Old Boys are the alumni of St. George’s School. They are actively engaged at the School and around the globe; they are a vibrant and interactive online community with a strong presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, and other social media platforms; they are a strong network of significance to Old Boys of any and all ages. Major reunion events take place annually in Vancouver, Hong Kong, Toronto, and New York, as well as Victoria, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and London, England, all of which provide valuable in-person connection points for Old Boys. Old Boys also actively support oncampus events such as our own Dragons’ Lair and Careers Day, and directly connect with students to mentor those who will soon join the ranks of the Old Boys. The Old Boys’ network continues to grow each year, whilst supporting and maintaining direct ties to the School we share in common.
