GUIDING EDUCATIONAL PRINCIPLES Since the School’s founding in 1930, the concept of the “well-rounded boy” has been the defining characteristic of a St. George’s education. Mindful of their ethical, intellectual, physical, and social development, we educate and support boys to achieve fulfilling lives here and after graduation; to be lifelong learners; and to engage meaningfully with their communities.
ST. GEORGE’S SCHOOL’S CORE VALUES:
It’s impossible to write for this year’s Annual Report and not do so in the reflected light of the generational achievement that we experienced in opening our new Senior School campus. It is quite a story. Each part of this report tells a story, either leading to or springboarding from, that pivotal moment. The Senior School buildings shine a light on our history, and from the rooftops of the stunning new spaces, we can literally and metaphorically see the horizon towards which we now have the responsibility to move ambitiously towards. Our Graduates of 2024-25 are an exceptional group of young men, recruited by a thrilling array of top programs around the world. They are a group of men who we believe have the character to positively impact our future society in incredible ways. This report captures, in essence, the excellence we as a community are capable of when we see something as important or urgent. It tells the story of the community that, in all its complexity, is tight, close, sharing the journey we walk as a school community. WELCOME FROM THE
HEAD OF SCHOOL
This report tells a brilliant story. One in which we each are characters, essential to the narrative arc. One chapter concludes, and we turn the page now to the next. Sine Timore Aut Favore,
MR. DAVID YOUNG HEAD OF SCHOOL
The 2024–25 academic year marks an extraordinary chapter in our journey to becoming one of the world’s leading boys’ schools. We are honoured to be recognized as one of BC’s Top Employers for the 14th consecutive year — a testament to the exceptional people who bring our mission to life each day. Our admissions continue to thrive, and our students consistently demonstrate excellence across Academics, Athletics, and the Arts. This success is reflected in the breadth, quality, and global reach of their post-secondary acceptances. This year, we began rolling out the exciting work of our Strategic Plan, a bold, future-focused vision created by Head of School Mr. David Young with the support of the Board. The plan is already shaping the way we lead, learn, and grow as a community, and we are energized by the enthusiasm with which it has been embraced. One of the most transformative moments in recent memory occurred over the 2024 Winter Break, when we completed the generational project of constructing our new Senior School buildings. In January 2025, our boys began learning in these stunning new spaces, purpose-built to support collaboration, innovation, and personal growth. The new Princeps Hall — being used daily by our boys and for key milestone celebrations — stands as a vibrant symbol of this new era. We remain deeply grateful to all those who have supported the ONE+ Campaign, which has made this dream a reality. This is more than a building — it is an investment in generations of alumni to come, and a tangible expression of our shared values and bold ambitions. Our St. George’s alumni network continues to grow in strength and engagement. Their contributions across Academia, Industry, Sport, and the Arts inspire current students and affirm the enduring value of a Saints education. Their willingness to give back reflects the deep bonds that connect our global community.
WELCOME FROM THE
SOCIETY BOARD CHAIR

Their efforts ensure that Saints remain not only an educational institution but a thriving, connected community. As I reflect on my time as Chair of the Society Board, I remain deeply grateful for our community’s unwavering commitment. It has been a joy and a privilege to serve alongside so many individuals dedicated to helping our boys become exceptional young men and future leaders. Together, we move forward — future-ready and full of purpose, embracing innovation and adaptability as we strive to have our School help shape the future of boys’ education. Sine Timore Aut Favore,
MS. SHANNI ECKFORD
CHAIR OF THE SOCIETY BOARD
As I look back on the past academic year, I feel humbled and proud of the enormous change our community has supported and embraced. Over the last twelve months, our boys, families, colleagues, alumni, and countless others have worked tirelessly to bring about a host of positive developments within the School. Classicists will know that the Latin for change is mutatio, the origin of “mutate”, a word often viewed negatively. However, as a former Biology teacher, I know that evolution is critical to a species’ survival and requires change through genetic mutation. Any advantageous genetic mutations can be selected for, and over time, a population becomes better suited to its environment. Through evolution, it adapts, it remains ready and relevant within its niche, its context. This year, St. George’s School has embraced change; it has evolved. The most visible change came at the Senior School Campus. On a cold, wet Friday in late December, the final day of term, our Grade 8–12 boys carried chairs from the main building into the new Tang and Brown Buildings. Fatigue and dreary weather did not dampen spirits. Colleagues and boys pulled together, recognising the significance of this historic moment. Now that we are fully inhabiting these learning and collaboration spaces and the adjoining Princeps Hall, we are seeing the benefits of abundant natural light and additional space. The move has also spurred renovations, changes to key Academic, Music, Athletics, and Administrative areas across the campuses. Many of our boys appreciate the uniqueness of a St. George’s education that encourages them to hold fast to valued traditions, while at the same time embracing innovation. This spirit is evident in two new student-led initiatives: the Ignite Leadership Conference and the VentureLift Business Program. We anticipate more such ventures as we expand our Unique Pathways Programs, which offer opportunities to develop skills in entrepreneurial thinking, leadership, and wellbeing over the coming years. A strong sense of community is in the DNA of St. George’s School. It thrives in the connections boys form as classmates, in artistic and sporting pursuits, on trips and tours, and in countless other settings. This brotherhood is visible from our youngest Kindergarten boys to our Graduating class and alumni. I recall that the joy and vulnerability shown in the Primary Musical was mirrored in older students’ performances, such as the production of The Neverending Story in April. It’s gratifying to see the boys bravely explore new experiences, regardless of their age. Our community also includes many other groups and generations. It has been heartening to see friendships deepen through annual events like the Saints Fair, Spirit Run, and Hamper Drive, as well as in unique celebrations marking the opening of the new Senior School buildings. The Saints community is well-versed in celebrations and in cherishing what change makes possible. As we conclude the year, the changes we have embraced have strengthened our community and enhanced the opportunities we offer our boys. By building on these foundations, we ensure St. George’s School remains forward-looking, relevant, and equipped to prepare every student for the challenges and possibilities ahead.

OUR TEN-YEAR VISION:
STEP TWO OF ST. GEORGE’S SCHOOL’S 2023–33 STRATEGIC PLAN
IN A WORLD THAT DEMANDS AMBITIOUS ACTION AND NEW THINKING…
WE BUILD YOUNG MEN TO BE IMPACT MAKERS, AGILE PARTNERS WHO STRIVE TO DO GOOD, POSITIVELY SHAPING OUR FUTURES. The 2024–25 school year was a transformational period in our School’s history as we completed Step 2 of Ready and Relevant, our 2023–33 Strategic Plan and moved into our brand-new Senior School buildings. On December 20, 2024, our Senior School students, staff, and faculty participated in The Great Move, carrying a chair into our state-of-the-art Senior School buildings. After the Winter Break, the Senior students were thrilled to commence the new year and attend classes in these brilliant and bright new spaces. Built with a modern and timeless design that is steeped in tradition, our innovative Senior School buildings are Phase 1 of our Campus Master Plan and include the Tang Hall, Brown Hall, and Princeps Hall, a glorious gathering and dining space. Mr. Arthur Gensler, a world-renowned architect and founder of North America’s largest architectural firm, Gensler, played an integral role in the overall campus design, in collaboration with the IBI Group (now known as Arcadis). The new Senior School Campus is the most ambitious project St. George’s School has ever undertaken and was funded by the ONE+ Campaign. Thanks to our entire community’s vision, dedication, and support, $120 million was raised to create these incredible physical spaces, “engineered to create collisions with individuals, spark shared thinking and collegiality, community, and friendship” (Mr. David Young, Head of School, Ready and Relevant, page 12). Translating a vision into architecture takes more than blueprints. It requires purpose. With 162,794 square feet of thoughtfully designed space, the new Senior School buildings foster connection, elevate learning, and maximize access to nature, integrating sunlight, greenery, and fresh air into the learning environment. In keeping with our commitment to our ten-year Strategic Plan to care for our environment, the Senior School buildings are LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold Certified, and built with locally assembled materials such as concrete, glass, and Spruce-Pine-Fir (SPF) lumber. The new buildings prominently display massive granite panel cladding, arranged in a distinctive layout that complements the traditional granite stone found on the Junior School, built in 1912, thereby establishing a strong architectural connection between the two campuses. Last spring, we were delighted to celebrate this generational moment in our School’s history with three Grand Opening Celebrations: An Art Unveiling Ceremony featuring Musqueam Artist Susan A. Point’s Journey of Enlightenment Sculpture, on display in Armstrong Plaza to launch ArtsWeek on April 14, 2025; a Donor Grand Opening Celebration on April 25, 2025; and our Official Grand Opening of our New Senior School Buildings on May 16, 2025. These celebrations provided an opportunity to commemorate this important milestone, reflecting our school community’s vision, dedication, and tremendous support. Guests were delighted to explore our new spaces, connect with fellow members of the community, and mark this exciting new chapter in our School’s history.

ADMISSIONS WITH INTENT FOSTERING FUTURE LEADERS
This year, the Admissions Department’s focus and initiatives have supported the School’s overall Strategic Plan. Progress can be best framed through the following three approaches:
1 DIVERSIFY THE APPLICANT POOL: Building a student body that reflects Vancouver’s diversity remains central to the School’s long-term vision. Expanding awareness of the Financial Assistance Program has been a key driver of this effort, resulting in a 7% increase in applicants seeking support over the last year. The team has also strengthened the School’s presence and visibility across the city through targeted outreach. Highlights include continued participation in Vancouver’s Farmers Markets during the summer; hosting dedicated information sessions for communities such as the Ismaili community of Vancouver and the Musqueam Nation; and partnering with Crofton House to co-host an information evening for Ukrainian families.
2 BUILD AN AWE-INSPIRING APPLICATION PROCESS: Creating memorable and meaningful experiences for prospective families remained a priority this year. Every interaction was viewed as an opportunity to leave a positive impression, one that families would remember and share with others. We were fortunate to have dozens of current parents volunteer at open houses, assessment days, and new-student orientation events, providing applicants with authentic, firsthand perspectives on the St. George’s experience. Engagement was also extended online through social media contests that encouraged community members to share their stories. While the admissions journey concludes earlier for some families than others, our goal is that every applicant’s experience is warm, welcoming, and inspiring.
3 IDENTIFY QUALIFIED APPLICANTS: At the heart of the Admissions Department’s work is the recruitment, assessment, and enrollment of students who will thrive academically, socially, and cocurricularly. For Day applicants, our group assessment model enabled us to personally meet nearly 1,000 candidates, providing valuable insights into character and fit while also offering faculty meaningful involvement in the process. High standards were upheld, and enrolment targets were met across all grades. For Boarding, recruitment efforts expanded internationally through information sessions in multiple cities, strengthened partnerships with educational agents, and an open-door approach to welcoming visiting families throughout the summer. As a result, this year’s Boarding cohort includes students from 17 different countries — from Japan to Finland and the USA to Rwanda — further enriching the global learning environment for all St. George’s students.

BOARDING AT HARKER HALL Living in Boarding provides a unique opportunity for students to connect with peers from all over the world. Whether it is with a new roommate, on an overnight trip, or simply sitting at the dinner table together, students gain a network of brothers that transcends borders. They develop skills in Empathy and Responsibility, as well as communication and problem-solving skills — qualities they will continue to use throughout their lives. At Harker Hall, we believe in the power of community and encourage every student to get involved and positively contribute in their own unique way. Whether that is sharing a skill with others in the house, taking on responsibilities like bedtimes or academic support, organizing a community volunteer event, or hosting a games night, we believe everyone can contribute and make an impact. Harker Hall is an Urban Boarding Program. We benefit greatly from living and playing in Vancouver, British Columbia. We encourage students to take safe risks and expand their knowledge and skills through engaging in our vast programming. Students have myriad opportunities to develop as leaders, learn health and well-being practices, build outdoor skills, deepen intercultural understanding, and enhance their communication skills.

A WORLD OF ACADEMICS EDUCATION AT ST. GEORGE’S SCHOOL
TRANSFORMING EDUCATION:
THE VISION BEHIND OUR INNOVATIVE NEW SENIOR SCHOOL SPACES
The 2025-25 school year was a transformational one at St. George’s School. Our new Senior School buildings, represent the culmination of years of planning and preparation. Our recent campus expansion was strategically designed to align with our Strategic Plan’s Core Tenets: Identity, Innovation, and Impact. By thoughtfully merging educational research with architectural design, our new spaces foster an environment where boys can thrive, creating a strong sense of community and setting a new standard for modern education. IDENTITY: BOY-CENTRED DESIGN & COMMUNITY Our new buildings are a physical manifestation of our commitment to understanding and nurturing boys’ identities. Research shows that boys benefit from environments that support their innate energy and need for movement. Creating multiple buildings in a campus style was intentionally designed to promote movement between classes for built-in physical activity, thereby improving focus and reducing behavioural issues. We embraced insights from experts, creating flexible classrooms with modular furniture that can be easily rearranged for group work or individual focus. In addition to individual identity, our buildings strengthen our collective community identity. Our design strategically places central gathering spaces, like the Learning Commons and Dining Hall, at key junctures to foster cross-grade connections and informal mentorship. This creates a sense of belonging and strengthens the communal bonds that define our School. INNOVATION: FLEXIBLE LEARNING & CREATIVITY The new Senior Campus is a hub for innovation, providing flexible learning spaces that support modern pedagogical approaches. Our Learning Studios and Academic Commons can instantly adapt from lectures to collaborative workshops, enabling interdisciplinary projects and co-teaching. The strategically placed Collaborative Teacher Offices encourage the cross-pollination of ideas, driving pedagogical innovation. The new spaces also support creativity and hands-on learning, which are crucial for boys. The Maker Commons and its connected Makerspace and Innovation Lab are vibrant, high-energy hubs where students can prototype, engineer, and design with industrial tools, 3D printers, and digital design technology. This project-based learning is integrated directly into our academic departments. The central placement of the Arts Wing further affirms our belief that creativity is core to a well-rounded education. With purpose-built studios that maximize light and functionality, we are fostering a culture where Art is not extracurricular but essential for meaning-making and growth. IMPACT: OUTCOMES AND FUTURE-READINESS The design of our new buildings has a tangible impact on student outcomes and prepares them for the future. The use of abundant natural light, transparent glass walls, and open sightlines create a safer and more supportive environment, as these design choices promote accountability and positive community behaviour. Studies link exposure to natural light to higher student achievement and improved psychological well-being. Our integrated technology and custom-designed Science Labs provide rich learning environments. The Physics Labs are equipped with suspended systems and data interfaces for real-time analysis, while our Chemistry Labs feature specialized utilities for safe, hands-on experimentation. The Biology Labs, with their ventilation and display capacity, deepen students’ understanding of complex concepts. These intentional design choices —from specialized labs to flexible learning spaces —equip our students with the skills they need to thrive in an increasingly digital and interconnected world. The result is a Senior Campus that not only supports but actively enhances academic excellence, solidifying St. George’s School’s position as a leader in boy-centred education.
MR. SAM JOHNSTON
DIRECTOR OF LEARNING
JUNIOR SCHOOL ACADEMICS In the 2024-25 school year, the Junior School was a journey of discovery, collaboration, and boundless creativity. Our Strategic Plan, Ready and Relevant, was brought to life by every student and teacher. Our focus on identity began with a deep exploration of “who we are”. Through class meetings, student-led mentorship, Buddy Programs, and special Assemblies throughout the year, our students were encouraged to find their unique voice and celebrate their individual strengths. The “BeU” Week allowed our students to consider the concept of “ubuntu”, an African idea that states, “I am because we are.” Every boy had a chance to showcase and share their diverse backgrounds and identities and create a school-wide tapestry that said, “Rise as one, soar as many.” We saw firsthand how nurturing self-awareness and confidence empowers students to embrace their passions, from budding engineers to aspiring artists. The spirit of impact resonated across our Junior Campus and beyond. Our boys showed that even the smallest hands can create quite a ripple! With schoolwide events like the Hamper Drive, we organized a highly successful drive that provided hampers, books, and toys to hundreds of families in need. Experiences like the Hamper Drive taught our boys the value of Empathy and Resilience, and how together, we can work powerfully toward a common goal. Finally, the theme of innovation sparked curiosity in every classroom. Design thinking challenges through ADST classes asked students from Kindergarten to Grade 7 to solve real-world problems, from designing functional backpacks to new sneakers for kids. In the Makerspace, the boys took on various challenges throughout the year, from bridge engineering with spaghetti to robot programming, and beyond. These innovative approaches fostered empathy and humility, along with a willingness to explore new frontiers. The school year was more than just a series of lessons; it was a period of transformation. Our boys have not only excelled academically but have also grown as thoughtful, confident, and compassionate individuals. The journey of discovering their identity has given them a firm foundation, the experience of creating impact has instilled a sense of global responsibility, and the cultivation of innovation has armed them with tools to navigate a rapidly changing world. The seeds of growth that were planted will continue to blossom, and we are incredibly proud of the lasting mark our boys have made. The profound growth this year has changed our community for the better. We can’t wait to see all the ways they will continue to grow!

SENIOR SCHOOL ACADEMICS The Senior School’s schoolwide goal for the 2024-25 year was to “facilitate more joy and a greater sense of belonging for all.” The fundamental elements of this ambition clearly connect to the Strategic Plan’s Core Tenets of Identity, Innovation, and Impact. If boys feel genuine joy at school every day, possess the confidence to challenge themselves and explore new opportunities, and feel they belong, they are ideally positioned to grow and become the best versions of themselves. The year began in historic fashion, with the long-awaited return of the traditional Wings to the Senior School. Whether it was our opening Wings Festival or the various Wings Days scheduled throughout the year, the return of Clark, Fell, Tupper, and MacDougall not only increased student engagement but also served a specific objective. The intention was to strengthen student connections, particularly with shared inter-grade experiences across Grades 8-12. It became common to see boys of various ages working, collaborating, and playing together in ways that were far less commonplace prior to the restoration of the Wings. Much of the fall months were spent planning and preparing for our large-scale move into Tang Hall, Brown Hall, and Princeps Hall. There were many complex logistical factors for us to wrap our heads around, but ultimately, The Great Move in December, during which all of our students and colleagues helped move classroom chairs into the new buildings, and then the actual move following the Winter Break in January, proved to be enormously successful. It did not take long for the benefits of more natural light in classrooms and offices, outdoor transitions between classes and meetings, and an increase in daily steps to be felt by everyone. The new buildings have enhanced the school experience in so many ways, but an inherent advantage of the spacious Princeps Hall is that it allows us to shift to a common lunch block for all of our students. For years, lunch has been segmented by each grade, but if we are truly committed to fostering a connected and inclusive school community, having all of our students “break bread together,” so to speak, is an important aspect of achieving this. Similarly, we transitioned to more Whole School Assemblies in Princeps Hall so that our students could gather together as one collective school. As we continue to consider how we can broaden the scope of learning at the Senior School, two significant studentled initiatives, guided by support and direction from faculty and staff, provided new and exciting opportunities that we hope set the stage for ongoing educational innovation. The Ignite Student Leadership Conference in March brought together several experts in the art and science of leadership to collaborate with students through a variety of interactive and collaborative workshops. Similarly, the VentureLift Business Program in June connected students with prominent business leaders to experience an immersive deep dive in the modern world of business and finance. The highlight of which was each student studying a real-world company’s internal documents and then presenting a strategic future growth proposal to that organization’s leadership. The most exciting part was that with each of these initiatives, we were able to partner with other BC schools and invite their students to participate. This transformed our Senior Campus into a welcoming community of shared learning.

ARTS
JUNIOR SCHOOL
Through our co-curricular activities, our students have the opportunity to extend what they’ve learned in the classroom. At times, it provides the teacher or coach with a chance to dig a little deeper into specific elements of a technique that help grow a student’s ability and self-esteem. As a Junior School, we offer a range of co-curricular activities for our students. The dedication and enthusiasm of our faculty give our students the opportunity to engage in a variety of clubs, choirs, and teams. Co-curricular activities are offered throughout the year. Activities will either have an Artistic, Athletic, Academic, or Community theme. Examples include Rugby, Junior Choir, Model UN, Soccer, and STEM Club, among many others. The number of our students who engage in the activities on offer is very high. The co-curricular activities provide our students with the chance to connect with and compete against local schools, or ones across Canada. Through a competitive and hardworking environment, our students enjoy taking part in these opportunities and representing the School. This year, the Junior School students had success in a number of competitions as our students represented the School individually, in pairs, in groups, or on a team.

JUNIOR SCHOOL PHYSICAL HEALTH AND EDUCATION (PHE) St. George’s School is committed to encouraging physical fitness as a principle of good health and thus, has excellent PHE and Athletics Programs that enable students to develop skills in an age-appropriate and sequential manner. During their first years at St. George’s School (Kindergarten–Grade 2), students have PHE class once a day, every day. The students participate in an inclusive program that introduces them to a wide range of activities, with a strong focus on building physical literacy and fostering a passion for physical activity. The regular PHE Program commences for students in Grade 3. From Grades 3–7, students have 320 minutes of PHE class each week. The PHE Program provides students with the opportunity to experience a variety of sports and activities in a fun and safe way, through skill-specific practice and games. Student engagement is consistently high as they are provided with time and guidance to learn or refine sports-specific skills. To further promote healthy competition, boys are divided into four Wings (Clark, Fell, MacDougall, and Tupper) and take part in a very popular Wing Games Intramural Program on a weekly basis. During gameplay, students learn the rules of various sports and receive guidance on tactical knowledge to enhance their understanding. All elements of the program are designed to promote students’ health, well-being, and self-confidence. The program also develops their team-building skills and grows their character.

SENIOR SCHOOL ATHLETICS
THE 2024-25 SCHOOL YEAR FEATURED NUMEROUS AMAZING PERFORMANCES FROM SEVERAL OF OUR TEAMS ACROSS ALL THREE TERMS. The CSSHL Hockey Teams were on ice at UBC and the Rowers were on the Fraser River in Richmond. Both programs kicked off our fall term before classes started, hosting preseason camps to get the athletes and coaches — some who were new to Saints — all on the same page. Tryouts for our three Soccer Teams were next on the calendar as classes began, and then Swimming and Volleyball (for Grades 10, 11, and 12) completed their tryouts and started their training and game schedules. The Swimming Team claimed another Provincial Championship in Richmond to end their season. The Grade 8 and 9 Rugby Teams hit the fields for their training sessions and games. The Cross Country Team took to the trails of Pacific Spirit Park and ran in meets at Jericho Park, which wrapped up our Fall Term sports seasons. Late November marked the start of the Winter Term, and it always brings a lot of action to our gyms as all seven of our Basketball Teams begin their seasons after completing tryouts. The Varsity Team had a very strong season, placing third at AAAA Provincials and Dorian Glogovac ‘25 was named Tournament MVP! The 2nd Varsity Team travelled to Ontario and competed in CAIS Nationals. Our four CSSHL Hockey Teams continued with their morning and afternoon training sessions at UBC, weekend showcases, and a full “Flex Game” schedule, along with trips to Penticton, Medicine Hat, Seattle, Calgary, Edmonton, and other cities. The entire U15 Prep roster was invited to the BC Hockey High Performance Camp, an amazing achievement! Also, nine of the boys from that team were drafted into the WHL! The Ski Team, who were eventual Provincial Champions, and our Boarding Team were hitting the slopes at Whistler and Blackcomb. The Curling Team brought home their second successive Provincial Championship, while Table Tennis and Sport Climbing also got underway with their on and offcampus training as well as end-of-season Championships. The final term of competitive sports begins just before Spring Break and is known as the Spring Term. This term kicked off with tryouts for all of our competitive teams before the two-week break from classes. Over Spring Break, the Golf and the Senior Rugby Teams headed out to Palm Springs and France/ Spain, respectively, for their International Tours. The Rowing Program commenced full speed ahead in April with a big team travelling to Shawnigan Lake for their Annual Regatta before taking a team to St. Catharines, Ontario, for their season-end National Regatta, featuring hundreds of boats and thousands of athletes to wrap up their season. The Rugby Program hosted touring sides and ended their season with great runs at Provincials — the 1st XV securing Gold for the third year in a row! The Track & Field Team and the Field Hockey Team trained out at UBC, while the Ultimate Team’s season had them training off campus as well. The Tennis Team also trained at UBC, where they secured second place in the Provincial Championship. Our amazing Golf Team brought home another Provincial Championship — the fourth in a row to conclude their season! In early June, the department hosted an Athletics Awards Night and celebrated the many MVPs and other award, as well as our five Sportsmen of the Year. This year-end event capped off an amazing season for all of the dedicated athletes and coaches.
RECOGNITION & AWARDS TERM 1 • Swimming: GOLD at Provincial Championships • Soccer: 1st XI– Fourth place at CAIS National Championships (Held in Ontario) TERM 2 • CSSHL Hockey U-15 Prep: Entire roster invited to BC Hockey Camp, nine drafted into the WHL • Basketball - Varsity: Third Place at AAAA Provincials, Dorian Glogovac ‘25 - Finals MVP • Skiing: GOLD at Provincial Championships (Held at Troll Mountain Resort) • Curling: GOLD at Provincial Championships (Held in Kimberley) TERM 3 • Rowing: CSSRAs - Two Silver, Two Bronze (Held in Ontario) • Rugby: Senior XV - GOLD at Provincial Championships • Golf: AAA GOLD at Provincial Championships (Fourth year in a row!) • Badminton: GOLD at Provincial Championships • Tennis: Senior SILVER at Provincial Championships (Held at UBC)
SENIOR SCHOOL ATHLETICS SUCCESS AND CONTINUED GROWTH • Sport Climbing was recently added to the list of Summer Olympic sports, and this past Winter Term, our students competed against other ISA schools for the second year. With support from faculty, athletes were able to train on a weekly basis and enjoyed multiple opportunities to compete. • Our Varsity Basketball Team had an amazing season with a home win over VC and a storming performance at the Provincials, which saw them win their final game on a buzzer-beater three-point shot by Dorian Glagovac ‘25 — named Finals MVP — to secure third place. • Field Hockey has a long history at St. George’s School, and for more than a decade, we fielded four teams. Many of our alumni have competed for the National Men’s Team over the past two decades. This past Spring Term, our Field Hockey Program again fielded an Under-18 Team for exhibition scrimmages. We hope to see increased participation numbers, which would allow us to consider adding an Under-16 Team. • Our Senior 1st XV Rugby Team defeated our good friends and rivals from Shawnigan Lake School to retain the AAA Provincial Championship. This is the first time in our history that the 1st XV has won ‘back-to-back-to-back’ Provincial Rugby Championships. • Our AAA Golf Team made history as they became the first Senior School Golf Team to win four BC Provincial Championships in a row after a whole team victory at the two-day tournament held at Shuswap Golf Course. • Our AAA Badminton Team topped off their winning season with a Gold at the Provincial Championships, their first in 12 years! Additionally, Allan Crawford ‘28, a Grade 10 student, won the “Super16” Award at the Provincials.

DEVELOPING CHARACTER OUTDOOR EDUCATION AT ST. GEORGE’S SCHOOL
The Junior School Outdoor Education Program was a resounding success this year. Our Kindergarten-Grade 3 local programs continue to bring our faculty and staff so much joy as we help the students fall in love with getting out and experiencing the outdoors. These programs focus on learning, exploring, and, of course, play! The highlights of our programs this year included watching eagles, eating salmon at Capilano River, visiting and learning the stories of the Camosun Bog, and catching more crabs than we can count at the beach! KINDERGARTEN-GRADE 3 Students enjoyed local day programs across the Lower Mainland, including trips to Capilano Dam, Spanish Banks Beach, the Camosun Bog, and many other exciting locations! GRADES 4–7 In Grades 4-7, the program shifted into our Overnight Outdoor Experiences. Students spent extended periods of time away from home and school and learned to live together as a community. It provided them with a chance to learn responsibility, respect, and, of course, build connections in their classes. All of the Camp Programs were huge successes this year as students learned new skills and more about their peers.

WHEN AT LEAST ONE ST. GEORGE’S STUDENT WAS
SLEEPING IN A TENT ON OUR 2024-25 TRIPS
The 2024–25 school year marked another successful year in the Senior School Outdoor Education Program. Throughout the year, the faculty were so excited to help our Senior School students experience this stunning province through a variety of expeditions that took them as far away as the Nootka Trail, and as close as the beautiful Pacific Spirit Park. Throughout all of these experiences, the students learned more about themselves and continued to build upon the school community that makes our School so special. Students fostered a strong sense of connection to the natural world and to their peers as they worked together to overcome hardships during these expeditions. As always, our Senior Outdoor Education Program is highlighted by the Discovery Cohort Program. Students in the class excelled at building a strong community of support, respect, and kindness throughout their 45-plus days of wilderness trips this year. This community drove them to find immense success during their 19-day final expedition, and all the students should be immensely proud of their achievements. The Outdoor Education Department was delighted to help Senior students engage in so many outdoor activities this year, and to watch them become stronger and more confident from these experiences.
A WORLD OF ARTISTIC VISION & CREATIVITY THE ARTS AND APPLIED DESIGN, SKILLS, AND TECHNOLOGY AT ST. GEORGE’S SCHOOL
SENIOR SCHOOL This year has been all about change, growth, and creativity. The Visual Arts Department moved into a bright, state-of-the-art facility all on one floor in Tang Hall. The new space has brought a fresh energy that is already fueling our students’ artistic ambitions. Enrollment in Art classes increased, and the quality and diversity of student work reached new heights. Our program feels refreshed while still staying true to its core. An ongoing highlight has been our partnership with the Shadbolt Centre, which continues to enrich the Ceramics Program through raku and soda firings, providing invaluable hands-on experiences that help build students’ skills and confidence. ArtsWeek opened with the unveiling of Journey of Enlightenment, a large-scale public artwork by renowned Musqueam artist Susan A. Point, O.C., D.F.A., RCA, D.Litt., joined by Mr. Thomas Cannell, her son, and her Creative Team. With the theme Artists Among Us, we celebrated the many artists within the Saints community — from Ms. Point and her family to alumni who have built careers in the Arts. The Student Arts Council led the planning, and we welcomed back nine alumni as visiting artists and speakers. Highlights included John Park ’05 collaborating with Joseph Nasrabadi ’25 on art columns, with plans to return next year to create new wall installations; Graham Handford ’05 teaching architectural photography; and Leonard Hsiung ’20 serving as an Artist-In-Residence, developing leatherwork and fashion design. Musicians, actors, and other artists rounded out a dynamic week that connected students with inspiring voices across the Arts. Throughout the year, we presented a record seven exhibitions of student work. A standout was the collaborative Junior and Senior Exhibition in May, which drew over 500 attendees to the new Tang Hall Art Gallery and showcased both our students’ immense talent and the collaborative spirit that defines our program. Our Graduates continue to pursue ambitious and highly specialized postsecondary studies. Rigg Scholarships were awarded to students who demonstrated exceptional involvement in the Visual Arts Program, with all recipients going on to study Fine Arts. Several Graduates also earned places in prestigious and competitive programs, including Carnegie Mellon Architecture, USC Arts Technology and the Business of Innovation, Carnegie Mellon’s Department of Design, and UCL Architecture. This has been a year of transformation, collaboration, and artistic growth, laying a strong foundation for the exciting achievements still to come.

JUNIOR SCHOOL Visual Arts continues to be a vibrant and essential part of learning at the Junior School, offering students opportunities to express themselves creatively, build confidence, and share their talents with our community. This year, we celebrated student learning in Visual Arts through several key events and initiatives. The Primary Arts Winter Showcase allowed our youngest learners to proudly display their creative work for families and peers, setting the stage for a year of artistic exploration. In Term 2, ArtsWeek brought the entire school community together to celebrate creativity. With interactive workshops and activities focused on visual expression, students were encouraged to take creative risks, experiment with new techniques, and see Art in inspiring new ways. The Annual Junior/Senior Art Exhibition was a highlight of the Spring Term, featuring a stunning range of student pieces from Kindergarten through Grade 7, reflecting the diverse techniques, mediums, and creative thinking explored throughout the year. Our Artist in Residence made this year particularly memorable. Under the guidance of Sculptor Ms. Anyuta Gusakova, every student in the Junior School contributed to the creation of a large-scale dragon sculpture, which now proudly stands in the front foyer. This collaborative project became a powerful symbol of collective creativity and a lasting reminder of our student community. Beyond the classroom, co-curricular opportunities such as Art Club provided students with valuable avenues to refine their skills, engage with new artistic techniques, and collaborate with peers who share a deep interest in the Visual Arts. Collectively, these experiences underscored the Junior School’s belief that Visual Arts are central to the development of the whole child. Through painting, drawing, sculpting, and collaborative projects, students learned to express their unique voices and take pride in their artistic growth.
JUNIOR SCHOOL This past year in the Applied Design, Skills, and Technology (ADST) Program, students at the Junior School continued to have opportunities to design, build, and create in ways that connect their learning to the real world. Students in all grades explored projects that encouraged creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork, while continuing to build on the strong foundation we established last year. One of the biggest highlights of the past year was the introduction of Edison Robotics and Coding. Students loved the challenge of programming the robots to complete tasks. These activities helped them practice logical thinking, collaboration, and perseverance. In the coming year, we are expanding the Robotics Program across more grade levels, giving even more learners the chance to explore coding and robotics as part of their ADST experience. In addition to Robotics, students engaged in a range of real-world design projects that asked them to think creatively about how design and technology can solve everyday challenges. Whether working with Media Arts, Sewing, Building, or Weaving, students followed the design process: brainstorming ideas, building prototypes, testing their creations, and refining them based on feedback. Collaboration remained at the heart of ADST. Working in teams taught students how to share ideas, listen to one another, and combine their strengths to reach a common goal. These are skills that will serve them well both in and out of the classroom. Overall, the ADST Program at the St. George’s Junior School has seen an exciting year of growth, creativity, and innovation. We are especially proud of the launch of our Robotics Program and look forward to expanding these opportunities for more learners in the coming year.
APPLIED DESIGN, SKILLS, AND TECHNOLOGY SENIOR SCHOOL The Applied Design, Skills, and Technology (ADST) Department engages students in the Design Thinking framework, creating opportunities for them to use their creativity and problem-solving skills to address real-world scenarios. Whether it be Woodworking, Computer Science, Business, Drafting, or even Robotics, students enrolled in the ADST elective courses embrace the opportunity to work on passion projects. In ADST courses, students often face design challenges that require unique, creative approaches to solving problems. Some students work alone or in team environments. Students who are organized into teams are intentionally taught to work collaboratively to ensure the best use of each team member’s strengths.

THEATRE ARTS
The Junior School Theatre Arts Program provides every student from Kindergarten through Grade 7 with meaningful opportunities to explore performance, storytelling, and collaboration. Drama classes allow students to build confidence, develop their communication skills, and engage in creative expression in a supportive environment.
PRIMARY MUSICAL Arf! was the Junior School’s Primary Musical this year.
A highlight of the year for our younger students was Arf!, the Primary Musical, held in the Spring Term, which served as a joyful celebration of their learning. Kindergarten students opened this year’s production with a delightful readers’ theatre performance, giving them an introduction to performing for an audience. Students in Grades 1– 3 participated as members of the chorus, working collaboratively to bring energy and music to the production. The Grade 4 students took on featured roles, allowing them to experience the responsibility of memorizing lines, embodying characters, and leading their peers on stage. For Intermediate students, the Junior School Production of The Jungle Book offered an even deeper engagement with Theatre Arts. Students auditioned for roles and committed to an intensive rehearsal process where they refined their acting skills, strengthened their stage presence, and developed resilience through practice and performance. This Capstone experience gave students a chance to challenge themselves, work as part of a cast and crew, and take pride in presenting a polished production for the school community. Collectively, these experiences laid the foundation for the Junior School’s commitment to Theatre Arts as a means of building confidence, creativity, and collaboration in every student.

SENIOR SCHOOL
THEATRE ARTS
2024–25 was another outstanding year for the Theatre Arts Program at St. George’s Senior School, where students continued to find a home to explore, create, and belong. This year, the Theatre Program blended big, ambitious swings with a continual emphasis on mentorship. Theatre Arts teachers and students pushed themselves with challenging play choices, creative designs, and sweeping stories, all while welcoming multiple new colleagues and nurturing the next generation of performing artists. DRAMA In Drama 8 and 9, students worked on building their confidence and teamwork skills. They also developed their storytelling and personal voices through student-written plays, which were performed at the end of the year for family and classmates. Drama 10 was highlighted by a successful and moving Issues Play, titled I’m Not Okay, which was written by the class and tackled the subject of young men’s mental health. The Issues Play was performed in front of the entire Senior School for the first time, sparking excellent reflection and discussion. For the third year in a row, Mr. Donnici’s Drama 11 class was selected to advance from the Vancouver Zone Festival to the BC Drama Festival, where they performed The Killers by Bryan Haretieux, an adaptation of Ernest Hemingway’s iconic short story. The Theatre Department faculty members also showcased their writing talents, with Mr. Fredeman’s Beyond Hope, performed, by his Drama 12 class for a school audience, and Mr. Donnici’s The Pack, performed by his Drama 10 class at an evening showcase for friends and family.

TELEVISION PRODUCTION (TVP) This was the second year of our advanced Television Production (TVP) course, where student filmmakers built their own voices as directors, writers, editors, and cinematographers in a challenging, fast-paced environment. The year culminated with our student-run Rain City Reels Film Festival, where several St. George’s student films like Colossus!, a 25-minute epic short film written and directed by Aedan Warburton ‘26, wowed the audiences and judges. THEATRE PRODUCTION The Theatre Production Program continued its tradition of student mentorship and collaboration, and we welcomed Mr. Scott Zechner to the role of Theatre Technical Coordinator. Over the year, Theatre Production students built the skills needed to design and stage manage Saints Players Theatre Company’s produtions, culminating in a Set Design Contest for the upcoming production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: High School Edition, where Grant Yiu’s ‘26 Gothic cathedral-inspired design was selected and will be seen by audiences at the play in November!
SAINTS PLAYERS THEATRE COMPANY’S PRESENTATION OF
BIG FISH & THE NEVERENDING STORY
Saints Players Theatre Company produced two outstanding plays at the Senior School in 2024–25. First was the Grade 10–12 musical, Big Fish, on stage from November 6–9, 2024. This ambitious production, directed by Mr. Luke Fredeman, featured a cast of 32, a crew of 23, and a live orchestra of 19 under the direction of Dr. Dean Markel. This collaboration between the St. George’s Music and Theatre Arts Departments, along with actors from Crofton House and York House, resulted in an incredibly moving show that showcased the singing, dance, acting, design, and music skills of many Senior School students. Next, Saints Players Theatre Company welcomed Ms. Amanda Kennedy as director, who brought The Neverending Story to life for our Grade 8-10 production on April 11 and 12, 2025. This was an incredibly ambitious production that featured five gigantic puppets, including a 12-foot-long, fur-covered dragon with blinking eyes and a fully articulating mouth, and an eight-limbed, LED light-up spider operated by nine actors, all built and designed by Mr. Scott Zechner and our students. Both shows were incredibly well-received by their audiences, but most importantly, they provided space for students and staff to share their talent and creativity.
JUNIOR SCHOOL 2024-2025 was another busy year for the Junior School Music Department. Kindergarten to Grade 3 students learned rhythm and singing games, working independently, in pairs, and in groups. The Grade 4s experimented with body percussion and composition, exploring recorder and ukulele as their new first instruments. In December, all Kindergarten–Grade 4 students participated in a cross-curricular Primary Winter Showcase, sharing songs and Visual Art in a Gallery Walk. The primary grades collaborated again in May, presenting the musical Arf! in two performances for both the School and parents. Primary students had the option to join a co-curricular Junior Choir, which met once a week with Ms. Karen Campbell and Mr. Jonathan Marshall. This group performed at the Remembrance Day Assembly, the Primary Winter Showcase, ArtsWeek, and the Saints Fair. Grade 5 students had three music classes each week and dove deeper into instrumental music. They rotated between three terms featuring clarinet, brass, and general music. This allowed each student the opportunity to try an instrument from the woodwind, brass, and percussion families. At the end of the year, each Grade 5 student and all incoming Grade 6 and 7 students participated in the instrument fitting process to select the instrument that they would play for their next year of Concert Band. Grade 6 students started the year with a full masterclass on their new instruments on the first Friday back to school. They spent one hour after school with a specialist learning the basics of sound production, playing position, and care and cleaning. After that, they regularly rehearsed three times a week in class and had three full grade rehearsals before performances. Grade 7 students continued for a second year on their concert band instruments, practicing in class twice a week and rehearsing as a whole Grade on Thursday mornings. There was an emphasis on ensemble skills and more nuanced playing of more challenging repertoire. All Grade 5, 6, and 7 students participated in both the Intermediate Winter and Spring Concerts, sharing with their peers and parents the hard work they did each term. Grade 6s and 7s also performed for the Junior School during ArtsWeek. The Grade 7s demonstrated musical leadership at the Remembrance Day Assembly, and the Grade 6s played processional music at the year-end Junior School Prize Day. Intermediate students had two opportunities for musical co-curriculars this year: Intermediate Choir and Afternoon Band. The Intermediate Choir focused on vocal music for Grade 5–7 students, and the Afternoon Band was open to Grade 6 and 7 students, providing additional opportunities to perform and learn more challenging instrumental repertoire outside their normal class. Both of these co-curricular activities were led by Ms. Teigan Paish and Ms. CJ Colville.
JUNIOR & SENIOR SCHOOL
MUSIC DEPARTMENTS
SENIOR SCHOOL The Music Department had an exciting and rewarding year, marked by exceptional performances, student achievements, and milestone events. Our full school musical production of Big Fish was a resounding success, featuring a talented 19-piece student pit orchestra. We were honoured to host a Percussion Masterclass with alumnus Mr. Zachary Masri ‘16, now Assistant Principal Timpanist with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, who shared his expertise and career journey with students. The Winter Concert, Rhapsody in Blue, showcased the extraordinary talents of Canadian pianist Ian Parker in a memorable collaboration with our ensembles. The Senior Band Tour took students to the Sunshine Coast, where they performed at schools in Gibsons and Sechelt, and were welcomed as guest performers at the Powell River Festival of Arts. These experiences fostered a strong sense of community, collaboration, and musical growth throughout the year. Student and ensemble accomplishments were equally impressive. Eleven students were selected to perform in the BC Honour Wind Ensemble, and three were invited to join the prestigious Denis Wick Canadian Wind Orchestra. Toby Mar ‘25 won the Graduate Concerto Competition and gave a standout performance of the Arutiunian Trumpet Concerto with the Senior Concert Band during our Spring Concert, Throwback Thursday. All Concert and Jazz Ensembles earned Gold standing at regional festivals, resulting in invitations to MusicFest Canada — an outstanding recognition of their skill, dedication, and musical excellence. This year also marked the Grand Opening of the new buildings at St. George’s Senior School, an exciting chapter in our School’s history. To celebrate this milestone, 12 students from Grades 2–12 were invited to record pieces on the newly donated Steinway Spirio piano, a generous gift from the Lee family. These performances were presented at the opening donor event, showcasing both the instrument’s advanced recording capabilities and our students’ remarkable talent. For the public Grand Opening, the Music Department premiered 4700 Days, an original composition by Preston She ‘27, written to commemorate the School’s journey. The ceremony concluded with a powerful, first-ever massed performance of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, featuring over 350 student musicians from Grades 6–12 surrounding the audience in Princeps Hall. This was a truly unforgettable celebration of music and community.
BUILDING GLOBAL CITIZENS GLOBAL STEWARDSHIP AT ST. GEORGE’S SCHOOL
Global Stewardship at the Junior School is centred on fostering community connection, deepening cultural understanding, and inspiring students to act with empathy and responsibility both locally and globally. Programming was designed to align with the School’s Core Values while creating meaningful opportunities for students to engage with real-world issues.
GLOBAL STEWARDSHIP AT THE JUNIOR SCHOOL
The 2024–25 school year demonstrated the value of intentional programming, authentic partnerships, and collective action. Through events such as the Terry Fox Run, Orange Shirt Day, Take Me Outside Day, Remembrance Day, the Hamper Drive, Black History Month, Pink Shirt Day, International Women’s Day, BeU Week, and Earth Day, students were given experiences that shaped their understanding of stewardship as both a personal responsibility and a shared endeavour. Each of these initiatives created opportunities for students to connect learning with action, while reinforcing the importance of empathy, respect, and community engagement. Global Stewardship at the Junior School continues to inspire reflection, action, and growth, ensuring that students develop the integrity and compassion needed to become responsible global citizens.
BeU WEEK: This year also marked the introduction of BeU Week, a new initiative celebrating diversity, identity, and empathy. Centred on the theme of “Building Empathy through Understanding,” the week featured assemblies, activities, and cross-grade experiences that encouraged boys to explore their own identities, appreciate the uniqueness of others, and understand the importance of compassion in shaping inclusive communities. The success of BeU Week laid the foundation for what will become a meaningful new tradition in the years ahead.
ORANGE SHIRT DAY: A central moment of the year was our Orange Shirt Day Assembly. For the first time, we welcomed Chief Wayne Sparrow of the Musqueam Indian Band as a guest speaker. Chief Sparrow spoke about the gift of teachers and the transformative power of education, offering students a message that emphasized hope, respect, and the role of schools in shaping a better future. His presence created a meaningful connection between the Junior School and the Musqueam community, while underscoring the importance of education as a path toward understanding and reconciliation.
GUEST SPEAKERS: Throughout the year, four community members were invited to address students at assemblies. Each speaker, with direct ties to the St. George’s community, offered a unique perspective that made larger global issues more tangible and relevant for students. Their presence emphasized the value of hearing diverse voices and inspired boys to consider how their own actions contribute to the broader world.
THE ANNUAL HAMPER DRIVE: The Annual Hamper Drive also took on new dimensions. For the first time, families were invited to participate in community events directly connected to the drive. Merry Movie Monday and Cocoa & Carols created opportunities for students, parents, and teachers to gather in celebration while contributing to a shared cause. These events not only expanded the program’s reach but also reinforced the Hamper Drive’s role as a long-standing tradition of care and collective responsibility within the St. George’s community.
TERRY FOX RUN: Junior School students, teachers, and families came together to honour Terry’s legacy and raised just under $20,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation. This achievement reflected not only the generosity of the school community but also the enduring commitment to resilience, perseverance, and collective action.
Beyond these milestones, Global Stewardship initiatives throughout the year invited students to connect their learning to action. Projects ranged from local service opportunities to school-wide awareness campaigns, each reinforcing the message that even the youngest learners can make a difference. The emphasis remained on cultivating students’ sense of responsibility and agency, encouraging them to see themselves as helpers, changemakers, and contributors to a more caring and connected world.
THE 2024 HAMPER DRIVE:
A WHOLE SCHOOL HOLIDAY INITIATIVE
The St. George’s School Hamper Drive, a beloved tradition since the 1970s, unites our school community to support families across the Lower Mainland who are facing challenges during the holiday season. By providing essential hampers, gift cards, and care packages to students and their families from other schools as well as the Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) Early Years Program, we address issues like food scarcity while empowering our students to enact our Core Values and engage in meaningful community service. Both the Junior School and the Senior School held festive activities and events to support the Hamper Drive. As a result, this year the Hamper Drive Campaign reached a record impact, raising over $100,000 in only four weeks. The campaign provided meaningful support to just under 300 families across the Lower Mainland over the holiday season. This initiative reaffirmed St. George’s tradition of extending care and compassion beyond campus. COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS: The Hamper Drive was strengthened through partnerships with the Vancouver Coastal Health Early Years Program, with 21 local schools and 15 agencies, creating a broad network of support. These collaborations not only increased the number of families served but also highlighted the importance of building partnerships rooted in shared goals and community well-being.
The Global Stewardship Department at the Senior School engages our community members in intentional community contribution and leadership development initiatives. Supporting both our students and staff, our team provides educational programming, co-curricular opportunities, off-site experiences, student leadership initiatives, curriculum development support, and professional development workshops to engage our community members in thoughtful and intentional dialogue. Our work centres on examining important topics such as sustainability & climate change; food security in the city; land stewardship & land-based learning; poverty reduction and inequality; anti-racism education; social justice; Indigenous education; and reconciliation.

GLOBAL STEWARDSHIP AT THE SENIOR SCHOOL The Grade 8 and 9 Experiential Education afternoons during Flex Days provided time for extended workshops and field trips, enabling students to learn from experts in the community and develop empathy and care for our neighbours. Highlights for Grade 8s include exercises in teamwork, leadership, understanding themselves and their place in the School, and the characteristics and design of the Dunbar neighbourhood. Grade 9s visited organisations working in the areas of sustainability and social justice in order to see what is happening locally to address the aims of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Our strength is in our student leaders, who engage in projects to make a positive difference in our community and beyond. Some of the amazing student-led initiatives include: • THE INAUGURAL IGNITE STUDENT LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE: This is a student-led, two-day Leadership Conference that invites students from independent and public schools in the Lower Mainland to participate in key note addresses, workshops, and leadership skill development. • HUMANS OF SAINTS: This is a storytelling project that aims to build a more close-knit community by sharing the unique stories of students, colleagues, and other community members. • SAINTS SPROUTS: This is a community garden project where a team of students partner with the Grounds Team to manage a series of productive garden beds and indoor her gardens, providing delicious greens for our School Lunch Program. New in 2025 is an active mushroom farm with six different kinds of substrates growing. • THREE GRADE 8–12 STUDENT GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIOS IN THE SENIOR SCHOOL: Sustainability, Community Engagement and Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI). Highlights for the year include:
• A clothing drive and hosting our second Sleep Out for Covenant House, raising over $800 for homeless youth. • Co-ed cooking classes with a local girls’ school. • Acknowledgement and celebration of Orange Shirt Day, Pride, and Black History Month. • Launching a series of community food waste reduction challenges. • Hosting a TEDx Youth Event, highlighting the incredible impact of young people in their communities. • VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES: One of the major highlights was engaging students in volunteer and mentoring activities via the Flex Day Experiential Learning Placements. We supported the whole Grade 11 class as they left campus eight times over the year to volunteer at local organizations such as Salvation Army Harbour Light Community Lunch Program, Quest Food Exchange, Foodstash Foundation, and Crofton Manor. Some of the students became mentors for a younger buddy in one of our six partner schools across the Lower Mainland. We are especially proud of our Grade 12 class, who completed their volunteer hours for their graduation requirements, and of the incredible community action that emerged from the Grade 12 Capstone Projects. Finally, the Global Stewardship Department is thrilled to be leading our Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility Committee for the staff and faculty, which is doing the important work of data collection and reflection in our School. This year, we hosted a series of student roundtable discussions to learn more about students’ experiences of belonging at St. George’s School. Our hope is that this work will help us create a safe, inclusive community where everyone feels like they belong and matter.

CHARTING BRIGHT FUTURES
UNIVERSITY COUNSELLING & PERSONAL COUNSELLING AT ST. GEORGE’S SCHOOL
JUNIOR SCHOOL The Junior School Counselling Team comprises two registered clinical counsellors (0.8 FTE each) who provide comprehensive support to students, families, and staff across Grades Kindergarten–Grade 7. The counsellors play a vital role in fostering student well-being through direct support, proactive programming, and collaborative consultation. INDIVIDUAL AND SMALL GROUP COUNSELLING The counsellors are available to meet with students for individual or small-group sessions to address a broad range of developmental, social, and emotional needs. • Lower Elementary: Sessions often focus on emotional awareness, self-regulation, self and social awareness, positive peer relationships, and early problem-solving skills. • Intermediate (Grades 5–7): Sessions address stress management, communication, conflict resolution, positive peer relationships, inclusion, equity, and fostering a healthy self-image (including promoting positive male identity).
HOLISTIC AND COLLABORATIVE STUDENT SUPPORT The counsellors embrace a holistic approach, working in close collaboration with classroom teachers, the Student Services Department, and school administration. Their work includes: • Developing and collaborating with case managers on individualized plans to support student growth and well-being. • Facilitating restorative practices to address and resolve student conflicts. • Supporting classroom teachers with strategies to strengthen the overall learning and emotional environment. THE JUNIOR SCHOOL WELLNESS PROGRAM The Wellness Program is an integral part of the Junior School experience, offering lessons designed to build social-emotional literacy and resilience. Topics include:
Referrals are accepted from multiple sources, including self-referrals by students and referrals from teachers, administrators, and parents.
• Emotional regulation
PARENT ENGAGEMENT The Counselling Team continues to prioritize strong connections with parents through ongoing communication and community engagement.
• Conflict transformation
• Parent Information Sessions, including Coffee Mornings and Admissions Events, offered opportunities to share knowledge and strategies for student well-being. • Counsellors also took part in and celebrated at the Second Annual Wellness Retreat, hosted by Grade 2 students for their parents. • Parents are encouraged to consult with the counsellors regarding concerns such as family transitions, grief and loss, and other mental health challenges.
• Interpersonal skills • Social awareness and well-being Lessons are delivered weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly depending on classroom needs. This consistent presence ensures students develop familiarity and trust with the Counselling Team, fostering a natural openness to seek support when needed. SUPERVISION AND PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE In addition to direct student support, the Counselling Team engages in professional supervision and ongoing development to ensure best practices and high-quality care are maintained.
PERSONAL COUNSELLING
SENIOR SCHOOL Throughout the 2024–25 school year, the Senior School Personal Counselling Department continued to support students’ emotional well-being and personal growth. Our team of three counsellors (2.2 FTE total) provided a welcoming space where students could seek help to thrive academically, socially, and personally. Counsellors held 636 one-on-one sessions with 167 students — nearly one in six Senior School students — while also leading a range of group and prevention initiatives. All Grade 8 Advisories participated in circle-based sessions that introduced counselling and built community. Mental Health Toolkits were delivered to all Grade 10s and 12s, and Healthy Relationships Toolkits were provided to Grade 12s. Counsellors trained and supported Prefects in running MoTalks, attending each of the four sessions.

Our Graduates not only emanated a love of learning and living, but an intentional quest for a life of purpose and relevance. They sought to define their lives after St. George’s School with excitement, curiosity, and an openness to seeing the world in all its multifacetedness. At the same time, they showed gratitude, kindness, and integrity in their daily interactions, demonstrating appreciation for all the opportunities bestowed upon them by the School and their families. This year’s Graduates boldly looked out into the world, keen to explore, and applied to postsecondary institutions in Canada, the US, the UK, France, Australia, Ireland, Scotland, and Asia. The post-secondary results of our Graduates are a testament to the fact that St. George’s students are highly sought after, not just for their academic prowess and potential, but for their character; the values that define who they are; and the moral compass they will take into a world that cries out for compassionate leaders.

GENDER DIVERSITY • Increased gender diversity, shifting the Leadership Team from 20% female/80% male in 2023 to a 50/50 split in 2025. • Welcomed a new non-binary member of the faculty.
In 2024-25, the St. George’s Human Resources Team focused on foundational stability and strategic growth. A major undertaking has been the complete overhaul of our HR Documentation System. By digitizing all paper-based files, implementing rigorous new file structures and naming conventions, and conducting a full audit, we established a “gold standard” for employee documentation. We have also inventoried the existing documents and identified gaps or outdated documents that we need to address. This effort mitigated organizational risk, ensuring audit readiness, enabling rapid, secure access to essential records, and enhancing administrative efficiency and effectiveness. Simultaneously, we drove critical strategic alignment by facilitating several complex organizational design projects, starting right from the senior-most levels of the organization. Our team helped finalize and complete the roles required to fulfill St. George’s Strategic Plan, including the redesigns of the Senior School Leadership Team and the Operations Departments. These efforts optimized resource allocation, filled key leadership roles, and ensured operational effectiveness aligned directly with the School’s Strategic Plan. Beyond structural alignment, we continued to build on our success in elevating the employee experience and strengthening internal culture, furthering our goal of engaging every employee, one employee at a time. A cornerstone accomplishment was the successful pilot of a Summer Compressed Work Week Program (Nine-Day Fortnights) for non-faculty positions, which received overwhelmingly positive feedback and is viewed as a major driver of retention and work-life balance. It also goes a long way to to recognize that our non-teaching colleagues are as much a part of St. George’s School’s success as are our faculty members. This focus on well-being was mirrored in our commitment to internal connection: we successfully restarted several staff social initiatives and increased HR communication with the launch of a consistent monthly internal newsletter and targeted LinkedIn posts. These initiatives measurably boosted organizational transparency and, anecdotally, increased employee engagement. Another major initiative within the HR Department this year was the launch of a multi-year effort to update HR policies and practices, starting with a comprehensive review and improvement of recruitment and onboarding practices. Key highlights include improved coordination and tracking of recruitment processes, the introduction of mandatory interview training for hiring panels, and a redesigned New Hire Orientation Program. These changes have collectively driven a perceptible shift in talent acquisition quality, ensuring new staff feel valued and prepared from day one. As well, to enhance our already strong total rewards program — which continues to provide a sustainable wage and maintain top-quartile market competitiveness — we successfully navigated the onboarding of new benefits brokers and supported a refresh of our pension fund lineup. This demonstrates our dedication to staff well-being and long-term financial security. We also reinforced our positive working environment by implementing a mandatory Respect In The Workplace Training Program.
A DEDICATED COMMUNITY ST. GEORGE’S PARENTS’ ASSOCIATION
COMMUNITY IN ACTION
The St. George’s Parents’ Association (SGPA) proudly hosted a number of events from September to June, aimed at strengthening the school community, supporting students, and celebrating our shared Saints spirit. The Welcome Back Barbecue kicked off the school year with 2,000 guests, serving burgers, chips, and popsicles. On October 6th, the Annual Saints Spirit Run hosted 600 participants, 100 volunteers, and cheer squads from each grade. Each participant received the winning medal designed by Daniel Wong ‘28.
The SGPA launched The Fair with its much-anticipated inaugural event, Night at the Carnival: An Auction Spectacular on February 27th! The Great Hall was transformed into a whimsical carnival dreamscape complete with Ferris wheels displaying desserts, (stuffed) animals, popcorn balloons, magicians, a DJ, and plenty of razzle-dazzle. Guests enjoyed a vibrant atmosphere, including delicious, show-stopping food and perfectly themed drinks to match. Both the Silent and Live Auctions were incredible successes! All proceeds from the evening were directed toward student funds. The 72nd Saints Fair welcomed nearly 4,000 attendees with the help of over 800 parent and student volunteers at the Junior School Campus with a Carnival theme. Many Fair favourites, old and new, made for a well-rounded and successful event for all ages. The Fair is a year-round production, requiring planning and coordination, with countless of hours served by this year’s Head Convenors, Demetra Georganas and Stephanie Isaac, and the Fair’s Leadership Team.
