Overall, I had quite a good experience over my four years at the school. They offered many opportunities for community and sports engagement and they had a decent amount of challenging academic courses. Maybe in the future, I would like to see the scope of courses offered expand to include more areas of life.

It ´ s a nice school but the lack of school culture is very apparent everyone is in their own groups and does their own thing. The school faculty in the main office are very rude and nosy and only will put on an act when a parent gets involved. The only time the school will do anything is only when a parent gets involved. This school constantly hides its controversies from the news. Their new phone policy is only here to stop people from recording fights. Overall the teachers are the best part besides the admin and internal office faculty that do nothing and just gloat around their power towards the students. The school just needs to be more inclusive to the students interests and keep up with certain trends instead of pushing what they want instead of the students. The lack of repercussions to students who are in the wrong are constantly protected.

The school has amazing resources at hand to help every student prepare for their dreams. It has a great teacher and student community where everyone gets along and it always strives to improve the campus.

Review is for Grades 7-8 as we plan to move to another high school in the future. Alright so let me get started with the environment at the school, on the outside its appearance looks very new and modern, but upon looking inside many of the class rooms are still outdated with the exception of the en...
