Parking and Traffic Guidelines

We ask parents to cooperate and follow the school's drop off and pick up guidelines to ensure the safety of all boys at Vancouver College. Parents should not be coming into the staff parking lot at any time to drop off or pick up your sons. We thank you for placing the safety of our boys over personal convenience.

Login PP Hours

Parents are responsible for recording their volunteer hours earned using the online Parent Participation login site soon after the hours are served. Participation, involvement, and service to the school are the goals of the Parent Participation Program (PPP).  There are many areas in which parents can help (see Immediate Opportunities and  Volunteer Opportunities).  Each Vancouver College family is asked to volunteer a minimum of 30 hours of participation service per school year.  If a family chooses not to fulfill their volunteer hours or does so partially, the PPP coordinator calculates the number of hours served and notifies the school's accounting department who bills the families for the equivalent dollar amount. This money is donated to the Blessed Edmund Rice Bursary Program.
