What are some of the things your program does to provide educational support?

鈥淥ur first source of academic support for our students is our teachers. Our student to teacher ratio is low, providing students with high quality instruction and engagement.听 Students are also supported by an advisor, who follows them throughout their time at St George’s, and a Head of Grade, who together coordinate social-emotional programming and support.听 We also have a robust Student Learning Success department to meet the needs of students with varied learning abilities, a peer tutoring program, and an afterschool program called 5th Block where students can be referred for extra help and assignment completion support.鈥�

Educational support is available;

• every student is in and Advisor Group, grade-specific, lead by a Faculty or Staff member, which meets weekly
• support is available in our 5th Block Program – runs Monday-Thursday in the 3:30 – 5:00 block, with peer mentors, Faculty & Staff providing one-to-one support
• every student has a Personal Counselor – an option if they are seeking assistance with academics
• Peer Mentoring is available to all students with Grade 11 & 12 Boys offering support across a wide variety of subjects
• for certain students dedicated support is available via their Individual Educational Plan and the full-time staff that provide support to those boys – .

How are grades monitored and how often?

鈥淲e follow the BC Ministry of Education guidelines by providing at least five communications with students and parents per year. We have two parent-teacher conference sessions, three formal written reports (Winter, Spring, Summer) and one or two interim progress reports (Fall and Spring as needed).鈥�

鈥淲e have a comprehensive set of academic policies designed to set clear expectations, model our core values, and establish holistic support for students as needed.鈥�

RESIDENTIAL LIFE

Do you offer a billeting program or a dormitory for non-local student athletes?

鈥淗arker Hall, our shared home, hosts students from Grades 8鈥�12.听 In the junior grades (8 and 9), students are in three or four-student rooms together on the first floor. With a maximum of 30 students, this structure allows for a higher degree of attention and supervision as students transition into residential life.

鈥淎t the senior grades, students live in two-man rooms, with up to 48 students living together on a floor.听 In grades 10 and 11, each two-man room shares a washroom with another room.听 At the grade 12 level, most rooms have their own private washroom facilities.鈥�

What kind of life skills do the student athletes learn by living in the dorms?

鈥淭he residential life program at St. George鈥檚 School has five categories of objectives upon which our programming is based: academic success and support, interpersonal/intrapersonal development, practical life skills, personal health and wellness, and cultural and social awareness. Combined with our Fundamental Beliefs, these five categories support each of the four pillars of the school鈥檚 strategic plan and guide the development of our Residential Life Curriculum.鈥�

STUDENT ATHLETE HEALTH

How are injuries and sick student athletes monitored?

鈥淎ll the student athletes in the Saints Hockey Program are monitored by the Medical Staff who are designated Emergency Medical Responders.听 They are present at all the practices, games, home and away as well as tournaments.听 If an injury or illness has arisen, the information is gathered and centralized for the necessary parties to access and review before the student-athlete is seen.听 Parents or guardians of those hockey players will be notified as soon as possible at the time of injury or illness.听听 They are then referred to our in-house Registered Nurse, Sports Physiotherapist or Massage Therapy Services.听 All of these services can be accessed by the student athletes via e-mail where they’re able to book an appointment or speak to them directly at school.听 When the student is receiving care from any of our in house services, communication is established between the health care practitioner delivering the care, Registered Nurse, Head of the Hockey Program, Head Coach, Head of Athletics as well as parents / guardians to ensure proper care and recovery timelines.听 Once the student-athlete has returned to practice or return to play, they are monitored by the attending EMR and will give updated reports on their condition to the necessary parties after each practice or game.鈥�
