Grade 3 travelled to the Beaty Biodiversity Museum at UBC yesterday for a hands-on learning experience!
There they learned about biodiversity in our local ecosystem, bringing their unit of inquiry looking at living things, how diverse our world is, and how our ecosystem can survive and thrive, to life! 🌲🌊🐝

We ❤️ World Read Aloud Day 📖
We had many members from SJS leadership and administration, as well as Senior School teachers and three Grade 11 students, eagerly visit our Junior School classrooms throughout the day to share a special story (or two!).
Our students also attended virtual visits with published authors including Jory John, Leslie Gentile, Nidhi Chanani, Josh Funk and Gabi Snyder. It`s always a pleasure hearing students` thoughtful questions for the authors and sharing their enthusiasm for a new book series! 📚

Our whole school community came together yesterday to celebrate Lunar New Year 🧧
We hosted a special assembly with memorable musical performances, followed by a tea for parents to enjoy afterwards 🎶
Here`s to new beginnings as we enter the Year of the Snake! 🐍🌙🎉 #LNY2025 #CelebratingTogether
