It was only 5 months ago that the grade 12 scholarship and award winners highlighted in this issue of the Piper were walking across the stage with their peers to embark on the next leg of their life journey. On behalf of the staff at West Vancouver Secondary, we sincerely wish all of our graduates of 2011 the very best and hope that you too are enjoying your year and continuing to achieve the goals that you set for yourselves. To the parents and guardians of our grade 8 students, as well as families new to the school, I trust that the first few months have left you with the feeling that West Vancouver Secondary School is an exceptional place to be. We are pleased that you are a part of our school community and look forward to a long and meaningful relationship with you and your children. The staff at WVSS is proud of the work that they do, the programs that we offer, and the extra-curricular opportunities available for our students. I hope that all of the students find ways to get involved either in class, by joining a club or team, or trying out for a part in the drama production. As you may have experienced, time goes by very quickly and I encourage you to take advantage of opportunities as they arise. I would like to thank and congratulate the students who were elected to Student Council and who joined Grad Committee. These two student groups play an important role in the school and participate in decision making activities that shape many of the events that the rest of the student population enjoy The Piper The Piper is a combined administrative newsletter and school newspaper for: West Vancouver Secondary School, 1750 Mathers Avenue, West Vancouver BC V7V 2G7, website www.go45.sd45.bc.ca Editor: Mrs. Ursula Kerr, Executive Assistant PAGE 2 during the year. Thank you to returning PAC co-chair Gordon Holley and welcome to new PAC co-chair Russell Ladd as they undertake this important role. The PAC is looking forward to continue the work that they do supporting the school and students, as well as offering informative and valuable workshops for parents to attend. The PAC maintains their web page on the school site, and I encourage you to visit their site to see what they are offering and how you, too, can become involved! As I look ahead at the events and opportunities for students this year, I am confident that our school community is well served. Already the fall teams are well underway, as are the upcoming concerts, school play, and innumerable number of clubs and volunteer opportunities for students. Please be sure to check the school website regularly for information as we do our best to keep it current and relevant. Overall our school start up this year has been smooth and that is a reflection of the hard work done by our staff both in the classrooms and in the office. As well, we have been impressed by the tone that the students have set early in the school this year. They arrived in September full of enthusiasm and a willingness to quickly focus on their studies. I continue to be amazed by the accomplishments of our students, the high degree of professionalism and care exhibited by our staff, and the level of support that we receive from our parents. Thank you for continuing to make West Vancouver Secondary School an exceptional place to learn. Sincerely, Steve Rauh Principal Mr. Steve Rauh Vice-Principals: Mrs. J. Bach Mr. B. Daudlin Mr. C.

We Day is much more than just one day of commemoration and inspiration. We Day is the movement of our moment in time – a movement of young individuals participating in changes globally as well as locally. Within the jam -packed stadium of cheering adolescents, We Day brought some of the greatest and most important social issues of today to the forefront. Also, this day provided teens with effective methods where every young person can find their place within the movement to create global change. We were lifting signs that read “We Believe” and “We Day” high above our heads to show our contribution. Vancouver had its own set of special guests, which included Mikhail Gorbachev and Shaquille O’Neal. Down with Webster, Shawn Desman, and Hedley also performed in We Day, pumping up the vast crowd of teenagers with entertaining music! There were also emotional climaxes. For example, a former child soldier, Michel Chikwanine, shared a story with us at We day about his unimaginable pain and struggles. His willingness and beliefs in the possibility for change makes him a remarkable individual. We day stimulated the energy and passion of a community of change makers. We Day was an exciting experience for everyone who got to go, and motivated many of the 18,000 children, teachers, and teenagers in the crowd. After coming to We Day, the numerous speakers inspired us to create a change in our world and to achieve bigger goals for the year and the following years to come. We Day brings youth together in an exhilarating setting to show them that they are not alone in their journey to make a difference.

WEST VAN’S NEWEST CLUB ‘ KIVA” Every year at West Vancouver Secondary School new clubs emerge, generally with the same idea and target in mind, but this year that has all changed with the founding of Kiva. Kiva is a non-profit organization that aims to lend a hand up, not a hand out. Kiva uses a method called micro-financing. Micro-financing is a system that allows you to loan money, and have it returned once a profit is made. Kiva’s target is to microfinance loans to entrepreneurs in third world countries, in order to help them accomplish their goal of starting a business or a farm. By lending money to these aspiring entrepreneurs opposed to just donating and letting them live off of financial aid, you actually help build their economy as well as add value to their currency, providing them with a brighter future. Micro-finance is the new upcoming way of giving a donation, by loaning just one small amount, you can have your loan returned to you after your chosen entrepreneur makes a profit off of their new business, which you can then recycle to help change another life. As a new club at West Vancouver Secondary School, Kiva will focus on raising as much awareness and money as possible, in order to make a difference. Come to room C331 Tuesdays at lunch to help us change lives. --Stephanie Forbes (Founder of Kiva at WVSS) PAGE 19 Student Endeavours Mark February 29, 2012 in in your calendars! Student Endeavours In September, the grade 8s embarked on a 3-day trip to Keats Island. The purpose of the trip was to meet new friends, build cooperative group work skills, and develop decision-making and leadership skills, and foster a sense of independence. Students participated in a variety of group and individual adventure activities including a highropes course, low ropes course, climbing wall, bouldering wall, archery, orienteering, campfire survival skills and mountain biking. Students were encouraged to challenge preconceived notions of their abilities and to take a small step outside of their comfort zone.
