While the 2020-2021 VC Varsity Basketball Season did not look anything like usual, we still had a group of 7 seniors who showed up day in and day out to honor their commitment to the Basketball Program at Vancouver College. Please join us in celebrating their commitment to our program through this re-imagined Seniors Day. Seniors include: Ben, Nathaniel, Zyken, Logan, Parsa, Jackson, and Jacob.
The Vancouver College Edmundians are excited to introduce The Crusade To End Hunger, a fundraiser with LFA, St Pats, Notre Dame, and STMC. The team will be collecting cans/non-perishable food and money for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank from April 6-April 20 and are encouraging all VC students to drop off donations in their A Block Teachers Classroom.
The Edmundians have also organized a dress-down day on April 15th (all students on campus) and April 16th (Grade 9-12 Day 1 students on-campus only) - students who wish to come to school in casual wear are asked to donate either $2 or 2 cans/non-perishable food. Ask your A Block Teacher for additional details and about the type of food you can donate!
March 8-12, 2021 is Faith in Action Week at VC! Traditionally, our three teams (Bronx, Brownsville, and Peru) would have already left for or would be in the final planning stages of their Faith in Action Trips.
With no travel this year, our students have planned a week of education and fundraising activities on campus, including a Dress Down Day on March 11 (all students on campus) & 12 (Grade 9-12 students on campus only) and a 12 Hour Relay organized by our Peru Team!
Visit our Faith in Action webpage for more details on how you can support our teams.
Get ready for a fun-filled spring with the launch of a Re-Imagined Mayfair 2021! This year’s Mayfair may not look like a traditional Mayfair, but we are certain that there will be something fun for everyone with our virtual games week, Marketplace, online auction, and Spring Raffle. Visit www.vcmayfair.com and follow the team @vcmayfair on social media for more!
