“I like the carpet because I can use the pillows or the low round table, so I don’t have to be at my desk. My desk is sometimes uncomfortable, and it is sometimes hard to do my work, so I like the idea that I have the option of the carpet to work at."
- Dacia K. (Grade 5)

“I really like the new lighting system as because it allows us to do so much more with the theater. Thanks to the updated Lighting system, we can use more lighting effect like Gobos, we can use different colours as the VL-1000's change colour and we can do spotlights as because the VL-1000's Move prostitution unlike the other lights. I think that the new lighting system has enhanced my learning at receiving information and retaining information because the lighting system is very digital and it is much easier to just remember the information then looking it up each time.”

“A BIG THANK YOU to the donors behind Annual Funding who helped the Gryphon Athletic Department get two new 21’ benches with solid backrests approved.  These are solidly constructed aluminum frames which will stand up well to our west coast weather for many years to come.  Not only will our home Gryphon Soccer teams like the improved larger benches, but with a second bench, our opposition will appreciate the hospitality on our back pitch.  PHE classes and others outside using the backfield will also be able to take advantage of these new benches, whether listening to a teacher before beginning a lesson, meeting friends at lunch time for an outdoor break, or having a recovery pause after some activity.”  
 – Scott Spurgeon, Athletic Director

“The middle school students benefited greatly by donation from our annual giving fund to purchase fishing supplies. These supplies were first used by the Grade 8 students this year on their WWOW trip to Manning Park. Each student went through a session where they learned how to properly use a spinning rod. By the end of the trip, we had a very large number of students that were choosing to go fishing at the lake whenever they had down time. Fishing was surely one of the highlights of the trip for many grade 8 students, and we intend to use these fishing rods for many future WWOW trip adventures!"
