BOYS OF THE WORLD
A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF 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 many highlights, ranging from the accomplishments of our students through to the depth and breadth of our programs. Produced every year, 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 2018-19 school year, I am struck by how much was accomplished. We continue to innovate both inside and outside of the classroom, and our students benefit from incredibly rich and varied academic and co-curricular programs. The Report Card highlights these many opportunities and the overall engagement and success of our students.
MATTHEWSIn 2018-19, we undertook a number of stakeholder surveys which revealed high levels of engagement and satisfaction among our students, faculty and staff, and parents. Particularly high levels of satisfaction were expressed by students and parents in relation to our Boarding Program, as well as university and personal counselling. Amazingly, Residential Life received eight “New Best-Ever Scores” among the more than 100 schools conducting surveys through Lookout Management. As well, it is gratifying to note that more than 94% of our employees indicated that they have a clear understanding of how their work advances the School’s mission. Such a high level of alignment is rare in any organization.
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 revitalize and enhance programs and instruction at the Senior School. We have completed the renewal of our teaching spaces in the Junior School, and in October of 2018, we unveiled our exciting Art Gensler design for the new Senior School. It will consist of two L-shaped academic buildings facing onto an academic quadrangle and Saints Hall, a spectacular building that will function as a dining hall, an assembly hall and a venue for special events such as Graduation and Remembrance Day. As you will see from this Report, St. George’s is a wonderful school. I am gratified by our accomplishments as a community, and I am indebted to everyone who contributed to our success in 2018-19. 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 are also keen to meet our expectations and to make us proud of them. What more could anyone ask for?
FROM THE DR. TOMIn my final year as Chair of the St. George’s School Society Board, I am extremely proud of the School’s accomplishments and the progress made toward meeting its strategic goals. As a proud Old Boy, I celebrate the vision which guides the School to build fine young men, one boy at a time. Underpinning every action is our reliance on the Core Values: empathy, humility, integrity, respect, responsibility, and resilience.
Headmaster Tom Matthews continues to ensure that students can explore their interests and excel in academics, the arts and athletics. Lessons are learned in and out of the classroom, with character forged by challenges and successes.
A school is only as good as its faculty and staff. While Vancouver is a challenging city in which to recruit, our reputation for excellence continues to attract top-quality educators and administrators. Once we find these stars, we do our best to retain them. In 2019, we were again honoured among the Top Employers in British Columbia. The ONE+ Campaign is nearing a groundbreaking ceremony. After years of planning for new buildings which will meet students’ future learning needs, we are about to see those plans take shape on the Senior School grounds. St. George’s has changed many times since its founding and the new facilities herald an exciting new era for the School.
Thank you to the Headmaster, his Leadership Team and the many faculty and staff who contribute to the School’s success every day. I am particularly grateful to the exceptional members of the Board of Directors with whom I have had the pleasure to serve.
St. George’s reputation as one of the most academically challenging and competitive high school environments in Canada is long-standing. As a university preparatory institution with selective entrance standards, our students meet that challenge by earning exemplary grades, as evidenced by the extraordinary number of university acceptances from around the globe. All of our graduates leave St. George’s School with options; our goal is to prepare them sufficiently well in all respects to ensure that the choices they have upon graduation will set them on a path to lifelong success.

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.

WE ARE CANADA’S WORLD SCHOOL FOR BOYS. WE ARE NOT JUST A BOARDING SCHOOL.
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 activity at both Schools.

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 Cohort—an outdoor immersion program for a cohort of engaged boys.
THROUGH OUTDOOR EDUCATION.
The “Disco 10” program gives participants an opportunity to explore the beautiful province of British Columbia in a year-long adventure that divides time between experiences in the outdoors and the classroom.
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 the competitive and recreational sport programs offered provide a diverse array 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 boy’s experience on and off the field, during practices, games, tournaments, and on trips and tours. Great memories, wonderful experiences and strong relationships are expected outcomes from our co-curricular Athletics Program.
The School supports all levels of involvement with all of our sports programs. 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 any of our sports program.
Whether it’s designing, building, and lighting stage sets, acting, high-tech animation, painting, drawing, or sculpting, 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 semiprofessional 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. Every boy becomes an Artistic Boy at some point during their time at Saints.
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 meant to them.
The Reading Bear Program, our grade-wide service initiative for Grade 8, underwent some exciting changes in 2018-19 as we added Thunderbird Elementary to our existing partners, Admiral Seymour Elementary and Strathcona Elementary. The Reading Bear provides the opportunity for our students to foster a year-long bond with primary students as they help their little buddies learn to read. The program continues to be one of our most successful initiatives in connecting our students to meaningful service learning opportunities that help them develop greater empathy.

For more than six decades, the St. George’s Parents Association (SGPA) has actively participated in the life of the school. Through volunteer and fundraising initiatives, the SGPA engages in a variety of ways with both past and present parents. 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 Soirée, and the famous St. George’s School Fair. Our goal is to involve all parents in our community, and enhance the experience of all our Saints families. We welcome 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 Fair, which takes place on the first Saturday of May. The Fair raises significant funds which are 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 of 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.
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. 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 now numbers over 7000 men around the world. The primary objectives of the Old Boys’ Association is to connect Old Boys with one another and with the School, to provide mentoring opportunities, and to support the School.

Actively engaged at the School and around the globe, Old Boys are a vibrant and interactive community with a strong presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, and other social media platforms; they are a strong network 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 on-campus events such as our own Dragons’ Lair and Careers Day, and directly connect with newly graduated students as mentors through our Mentor Program.
Financially, the School realized another successful year, closing the 2018-19 school year

St. George’s School enjoys two beautiful and spacious campuses adjacent to the 2000 acres of Pacific Spirit Park in the Dunbar neighbourhood of Vancouver, British Columbia. Our Campus Master Plan was developed to ensure our school community’s facility needs will be met for decades to come. The plan will be executed by way of a multi-phased fundraising campaign which began in 2014; phase I of the campaign was completed in 2016, surpassing the initial goal of $40 million. Already completed or underway are major restoration projects for our two heritage buildings and renovations of all classrooms at the Junior School, including the library.
Each year the School hosts an annual “Builders of St. George’s School” formal dinner and awards ceremony. This cornerstone event in the School’s calendar allows us to acknowledge those individuals who have made an extraordinary, transformational contribution over time to the building of the School. It is the highest honour conferred by St. George’s School, in recognition of exceptional engagement and support. The recipients have all embodied our shared belief in and shared love of St. George’s School.
