Vancouver College students from all age groups participate in a variety of stimulating athletic, religious, physical, artistic, social, cultural, and recreational pursuits, designed to add breadth and depth to the student's own interests and experiences. The strive for the development of the whole person is a cornerstone of Vancouver College, anchored in the Essential Elements of a Catholic Education at Vancouver College.

A dedicated team of teachers and coaches ensures maximum participation and provides students with the necessary resources in order to reach their individual potential. These extra-curricular activities provide opportunities for students to develop personally, take responsibility, work as part of a team, face new challenges, and acquire new skills.

Every year well over 100 students hit the hardwood to represent Vancouver College in true Fighting Irish form. Basketball players ranging from Grades 5 to 12, dedicate themselves to becoming fierce competitors.Teams in Grades 5 - 7 participate in the CISVA league and join tournaents, while the older teams compete against all schools and embark on winning their respective Independent League.

Our coaches work hard to create an environment that supports and encourages high achievement in athletics and academic work within our Catholic faith community. The Athletic Department encourages students to participate in Vancouver College's various sports offerings. We strive to provide our student athletes with the resources necessary to compete to the full extent of their ability and to enjoy each aspect of their experience.

The Parent Participation Program was developed to offer families unique opportunities to become more actively involved in their son's education while building the Vancouver College community. Parents are required to volunteer throughout the year at many of the events organized by the association such as the Finnegan Ball, the Mothers' Christmas Party, and Mayfair.

Vancouver College's Administrators, Faculty and Staff are dedicated and committed to each student to ensure that he achieves his personal best. As a faith-based school, all staff members play a vital role in creating an atmosphere of openness to religious activities; maintaining a physical and psychological environment where religious values are central to all aspects of education; and ensuring opportunities for counselling, prayer, retreat participation, service, and involvement in liturgical programs.
