Celebrating the Class of 2021

Congratulations to the Class of 2021! This accomplished group of leaders has achieved a lot during their time at GNS. The 63 members of the Class of 2021 are hard workers! Collectively, they have been offered $1.6 million in university scholarships. This significant accomplishment will help support whatever choices they make this fall regarding post-secondary studies.

 

Collectively, they have earned 259 offers of acceptance to post-secondary institutions around the globe, an average of 4.11 per student. Some of them are planning to pursue studies in commerce, engineering, sciences, urban planning, the arts, computer science, creative writing, journalism or kinesiology. Some of them are planning a GAP year to explore other passions.

 

Over their four years in our Senior School, the 63 members of the Class of 2021 have definitely demonstrated their caring natures. Collectively, they have performed 8053 hours of community service during this time with 2,243 hours occurring during their Grade 12 year alone. This includes working with numerous organizations like Victoria Hospice, the Out of the Rain Youth Shelter, School Helpers Vancouver Island, Our Place and Broken Promises Animal Rescue. They have volunteered to coach, to clean beaches, to tutor, to bake or prepare meals, to help neighbours, and to write messages of support to the Canadian Forces. And they have also offered support within our school community helping with clubs, with athletics, in the theatre, or as part of the Round Square.

 

Wherever their next steps take them, we look forward to hearing about all of their upcoming adventures.
