Meadowridge School News

This term marked the exciting launch of the first-ever Middle and High School Outdoor Skills Club at Meadowridge School—a new CAS initiative designed to get students outside, learning, and adventuring together.

On the Friday afternoon just before the students went on their WWOW trips, the DP lounge was buzzing with activity. It was the Grade 10’s third annual Math Carnival!

This week, the Theatre Arts Guild (TAG) proudly welcomed three new members into the Theatre Arts Educational Association’s Honour Society

Seven Middle and High School students took part in this year’s VISTA Theatre Festival, hosted by Crofton House School. They performed Franz Kafka Cancels His Cell Phone Plan by Kirk Shimano—a student-directed, modern absurdist play that cleverly reimagines Kafka’s The Castle, The Trial, and The Metamorphosis in the context of today’s digital world.

Grade 3 learners gathered at the North Forest campground to welcome local author Angela Murphy for a special visit. Known for her books on self-regulation and mindfulness, Ms. Murphy bases her stories on her two real-life dogs, Zane and Draper—characters who help children understand and explore their emotions in a gentle, relatable way.

Middle School students raised $11,000 in support of the Friends in Need Food Bank, marking the most successful year yet for the school’s annual Farmers Market. The event featured 55 student-led booths and included more than 170 students in Grades 6 through 8.

Last week, Grade 3 students were treated to a special art workshop led by Naz K., a Grade 3 parent who generously volunteered her time and talents to share the beauty of Persian mosaic art with the class. Nav prepared a meaningful and engaging presentation, bringing in all the materials needed for students to create their very own mosaics using tiny mirrors and coloured glass pieces.

This past Saturday, May 5, five Meadowridge students competed at the Concours d’Art Oratoire provincial finals at Simon Fraser University, accompanied by Mme. Stanley and Mme. Pava.
