Trips

The Grade 12 business students went behind the scenes of a local Amazon distribution centre for a hands-on look at their classroom concepts.

The Grade 10 art students had a unique opportunity to learn from expert artists and storytellers on Galiano Island, including getting to meet Ms. Mehrer's own art teacher. 

For 25 years the west coast Vancouver Island trip has been a favourite tradition for our Grade 10 students. SJS news sat down with Coach Kinman, who created the tradition, and Grade 10 Vivienne, to learn more about what makes this trip so memorable.

The 2025 year was full of highlights including basketball success, academic achievement and, most importantly, community. Let’s relive the great memories and take a look at some of the most-liked posts from last year!

Last term, a number of our community shared their stories and expertise with SJS News. Here is a look back at the guest authors on SJS News in 2025.

Ciara, Grade 12, recounts the incredible artistic experiences the group of Grade 10–12 students had in London over the midterm break.

Maggie, Grade 11, takes us back to the how-it's-made tour of Italy she joined over the midterm break and how the hands-on experiences helped create a trip she will never forget.

Over midterm break Grade 10 and 11 students embarked on an action-packed 'How It's Made' tour of Italy to see firsthand how internationally-renowned businesses work.

Sloane, Grade 9, recounts her recent canoe trip in Strathcona Provincial Park on Vancouver Island as part of the yearly Outdoor Education trip, where the students learned survival skills, challenged their endurance and grew closer as a class along the way.

From snowshoeing in the Yukon to exploring art in London, learning at SJS extends far beyond the classroom. Outdoor Education and global experiences shape students into confident, compassionate citizens of the world.
