The Our Next Century campaign is an extraordinary time in Vancouver College's history. Every gift, regardless of size, will help us achieve our goal and make a significant difference to our students and educational program. Thank you.
Support Our Next Century
Last Sunday before mass, I met a lady who asked me where I worked. When I said Vancouver College, she became very animated and told me both her sons had graduated from VC a decade ago and how much influence it had on their lives. 'Grade twelve was such a special year for both them' she said. 'It was when everything that had happened to them there really made sense.'
Last week at VC was Arts Week! We had Middle and Senior School Speech night, band performances during lunch time, an Arts Assembly that saw performances from our jazz and concert bands, as well as a display of artwork around the gym from our Art classes.
Join us in the Kucher Theatre tomorrow night for A Night with VC Talent! Our boys have some incredible gifts that they're sharing with us, so don't miss this night!
The grade 5 class put on an Easter Carnival for the Elementary classes two weeks ago. There were student-designed-and-built games, popcorn and candy booths, and many prizes. Thank you to all of the boys who came to support the Carnival. We raised $612.25 for the missions as our Lenten charity project. The Mayfair organizers may be knocking on the grade five classroom door for some ideas for the midway! Way to go Grade 5!
It has been a busy time for the V.C. Music Department with two tours now completed. The Senior Concert Band, Senior Wind Ensemble and Jazz 12 were in Anaheim April 19 - 23 for the Affinity Tours Canadian Anaheim Festival. A great time was had by all. There were splendid performances from all three groups and they experienced a sound recording workshop, as well as a massed band/choir performance.
Last week we held our annual grandparents tea, which saw each grade level in elementary perform, as well as the elementary choir. Mrs. Olson did a fantastic job getting our boys ready for the day, and the songs they sung were very well done!
A highlight of the day was the choir's performance of camp Granada.

For Winnipeg Blue Bomber Matthias Goossen (VC'10), playing in the CFL, means more than stepping on the field for the blue and gold.
Last week, the Grade 3 class finished up a cross-curricular kite building project that focuses on First Nations art, science, social studies, and teamwork!
