JUNE 19 NOTE - Course list was updated already!

Vanier's 2014-2015 School Growth Plan is available for public review.  Our school goal for next year is to "improve student writing" and has three main objectives:

1. To increase the quality and quantity of writing that takes places in all classes.
2. To provide students with consistent strategies, tools and timelier feedback to assist them in improving their writing
3. To develop a continuum of student writing exemplars for all grades so that students can improve their self-assessment skills.

You can find out more about the growth plan and read the document HERE.

2014-2015 Student Timetables will be distributed on Friday, June 13 after the Farewell and Awards Ceremony.  They will not be available prior to that time.

Changes to timetables can be made during exam week starting Monday afternoon.  There will also be time before school starts in August to make changes and timetables can be modified until after the first 10 days of school.

Academic Achievement Awards will be presented at Awards I on Wednesday, June 11 at 7:00 p.m. in the Small Gym.  Please join us to celebrate our award winners and hear the smooth sounds of Vanier's Jazz Combo!
