2018-2019 REPORT CARD BOYS OF THE WORLD A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF ST. GEORGE’S SCHOOL
BUILDING FINE YOUNG MEN.
ONE BOY AT A TIME.
ST. GEORGE’S SCHOOL is a strong academic university preparatory institution with selective entrance standards. Offering a Boarding Program for Grades 8 to 12 and a Day Program for Grades 1 to 12, St. George’s is committed to its Mission of building fine young men. The School encourages the pursuit of excellence in all endeavours, and is committed to the healthy growth of body, mind, and spirit. Character development, leadership, and service opportunities are integral to the School’s mission.
T
his Report Card functions as a comprehensive
FROM THE annual report and includes many highlights, ranging
HEADMASTER
from the accomplishments of our students through
to the depth and breadth of our programs. Produced
every year, it reflects our commitment to continuous
school improvement, as well as our desire to keep
the St. George’s community well informed and fully engaged.
Reflecting on the 2018-19 school year, I am struck by how much
was accomplished. We continue to innovate both inside and
outside of the classroom, and our students benefit from incredibly
rich and varied academic and co-curricular programs. The
Report Card highlights these many opportunities and the overall
engagement and success of our students.
In 2018-19, we undertook a number of stakeholder surveys which
revealed high levels of engagement and satisfaction among our
students, faculty and staff, and parents. Particularly high levels of
satisfaction were expressed by students and parents in relation
to our Boarding Program, as well as university and personal
counselling. Amazingly, Residential Life received eight “New
Best-Ever Scores” among the more than 100 schools conducting
surveys through Lookout Management. As well, it is gratifying
to note that more than 94% of our employees indicated that
DR. TOM MATTHEWS they have a clear understanding of how their work advances the
School’s mission. Such a high level of alignment is rare in any
organization.
We continue to make solid progress in implementing our Strategic
Plan and pursuing its vision of establishing St. George’s as a world
leader in the education of boys. Inquiry has been established
as the focus of curriculum renewal in the Junior School, and we
continue to revitalize and enhance programs and instruction at the
Senior School. We have completed the renewal of our teaching
spaces in the Junior School, and in October of 2018, we unveiled
our exciting Art Gensler design for the new Senior School. It
will consist of two L-shaped academic buildings facing onto an
academic quadrangle and Saints Hall, a spectacular building that
will function as a dining hall, an assembly hall and a venue for
special events such as Graduation and Remembrance Day.
As you will see from this Report, St. George’s is a wonderful
school. I am gratified by our accomplishments as a community,
and I am indebted to everyone who contributed to our success in
2018-19. In particular, I am proud of the boys and young men of St.
George’s for their extraordinary dedication and commitment. Not
only are they happy to be students at this great school, but they
are also keen to meet our expectations and to make us proud of
them. What more could anyone ask for?
FROM THE
CHAIR OF
I THE BOARD
n my final year as Chair of the St. George’s School
Society Board, I am extremely proud of the School’s
accomplishments and the progress made toward
meeting its strategic goals. As a proud Old Boy, I
celebrate the vision which guides the School to build
fine young men, one boy at a time. Underpinning
every action is our reliance on the Core Values: empathy,
humility, integrity, respect, responsibility, and resilience.
Headmaster Tom Matthews continues to ensure
that students can explore their interests and excel in
academics, the arts and athletics. Lessons are learned
in and out of the classroom, with character forged by
challenges and successes.
A school is only as good as its faculty and staff. While
Vancouver is a challenging city in which to recruit, our
reputation for excellence continues to attract top-quality JAKE KERR ‘61
educators and administrators. Once we find these stars,
we do our best to retain them. In 2019, we were again
honoured among the Top Employers in British Columbia.
The ONE+ Campaign is nearing a groundbreaking
ceremony. After years of planning for new buildings
which will meet students’ future learning needs, we
are about to see those plans take shape on the Senior
School grounds. St. George’s has changed many times
since its founding and the new facilities herald an
exciting new era for the School.
Thank you to the Headmaster, his Leadership Team
and the many faculty and staff who contribute to the
School’s success every day. I am particularly grateful to
the exceptional members of the Board of Directors with
whom I have had the pleasure to serve.

St. George’s reputation as one of the most academically challenging and competitive high school environments in Canada is long-standing. As a
university preparatory institution with selective entrance standards, our students meet that challenge by earning exemplary grades, as evidenced by
the extraordinary number of university acceptances from around the globe. All of our graduates leave St. George’s School with options; our goal is to
prepare them sufficiently well in all respects to ensure that the choices they have upon graduation will set them on a path to lifelong success.

Each year, through the Graduating Class Exit Survey, our graduates are asked to reflect on the most significant aspects of their school experience.
Unequivocally, our students comment on the meaningful relationships that they formed within our community. The power of relationships has become
a value-added and distinguishable facet of the St. George’s student experience. These meaningful relationships stem from our intentional approach to
Character Education and how our Core Values are defined, taught, modelled, upheld, acknowledged, and celebrated daily.

LEARNING OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM FOSTERING LEADERSHIP The outdoor setting offers a powerful opportunity for supporting many aspects of our educational philosophy. When immersed in nature, away from the comfort of a student’s everyday environment, learning and growth are amplified. Beginning in Grade 1, up to and including Grade 10, all students participate in our Outdoor Education Program at least once a year. Our experiences are designed to build skills and connection in the outdoors. The primary years focus on curiosity via day programs. Grades 4-7 focus on community at camps. Grades 8-10 focus on learning expedition skills to promote leadership and resiliency. In Grade 10 we also offer the Discovery 10 Cohort—an outdoor immersion program for a cohort of engaged boys.

BUILDING BODIES & MINDS OUR ATHLETICS PROGRAM More than 80 years ago, the value of including a strong Athletics Program in the education of boys of St. George’s School was recognized. Decades later the competitive and recreational sport programs offered provide a diverse array of opportunities for our boys to be challenged athletically and socially. Our coaches work to ensure that positive character development is always integrated into each boy’s experience on and off the field, during practices, games, tournaments, and on trips and tours. Great memories, wonderful experiences and strong relationships are expected outcomes from our co-curricular Athletics Program.

1
The Rigg Scholarships were established in 1980 in memory of Philip Rigg, a
student at the School who passed away before graduating. While also noted as an
athlete and a scholar, it was Philip’s pottery, painting, and drawing that made him
truly exceptional, and it was these areas of endeavour his family elected to honour.
TOURING SHOW
To be chosen as a Rigg Scholar, students must apply and then meet a rigorous
PERFORMING set of criteria for Visual Arts, Music, or Theatre Arts. These criteria include not
only technical ability, but also demonstrated leadership in their chosen field.
ARTS COHORT Competition is fierce, and each spring ArtsWeek culminates in a ceremony naming
the coming year’s Rigg Scholars.HIGHLIGHTS

For more than six decades, the St. George’s Parents Association (SGPA) has actively participated in the life of the school. Through volunteer and fundraising initiatives, the SGPA engages in a variety of ways with both past and present parents. The SGPA and its many volunteers devote a significant amount of time in support of the School and the boys in many areas including: Used Uniform Sales; volunteering in the classrooms; providing support at various sporting events; and organizing the always–necessary Lost and Found. Parent volunteers also work together to host the SGPA Welcome Back Barbecue, seasonal parent socials, the Saints Soirée, and the famous St. George’s School Fair. Our goal is to involve all parents in our community, and enhance the experience of all our Saints families. We welcome parents to become involved and get to know fellow families at these SGPA events.

Over 1000 parents work countless hours preparing for and working at The Fair, which takes place on the first Saturday
of May. The Fair raises significant funds which are utilized for many purposes, including, most recently, a new Student
Gathering Space behind the Junior School. Additional funds from the Fair support various departmental requests at both
the Junior and Senior schools, fulfilling program enrichment goals and ultimately enhancing the educational experience
of our boys. The goal of the SGPA is to involve all parents in our community in order to enhance the experience of both
boys and parents at the School.A WORLD OF TRADITIONS THE OLD BOYS’ ASSOCIATION
The Old Boys’ Association is a not-for-profit society, incorporated in 1950, that works closely with the School and its other Boards with a common goal of support. An “Old Boy” is any student who has completed one full year at St. George’s School. Each year we add between 150-160 new Old Boys to that list, which now numbers over 7000 men around the world. The primary objectives of the Old Boys’ Association is to connect Old Boys with one another and with the School, to provide mentoring opportunities, and to support the School. WE ARE GENERATIONS OUR ALUMNI

and other social media platforms; they are a strong network of any and all ages. Major reunion events take place annually in Vancouver, Hong Kong,
Toronto, and New York, as well as Victoria, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and London, England, all of which provide valuable in-person connection
points for Old Boys. Old Boys also actively support on-campus events such as our own Dragons’ Lair and Careers Day, and directly connect with newly
graduated students as mentors through our Mentor Program.

FINANC IAL AID & S CHOLA RS HIPS
We recognize that an independent school education is a significant financial investment. St. George’s School is
committed to attracting and retaining students from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds who have the potential
and passion to thrive through access to our program. The School’s Financial Aid Program has been developed
to assist families who, without financial assistance, would not be able to afford the cost of a St. George’s School
education. We believe that attracting the very best students to St. George’s benefits the entire school community. The
Financial Aid Program is funded through Endowment Fund income and the annual operating budget, both of which
benefit from donated funds.$60,000,000
