IMPRINT
LIMITLESS POSSIBILITIES
Message from the Head of School
The school year has drawn to a close, and we have fondly wished our students, staff, and families farewell for the summer. Every year at our school is unique, and every class has a distinctive character. It excites us to witness the collective qualities of each grade and the individual journey of each student as they move through the school.
The Graduation ceremony for the Class of 2024 was filled with joy and nostalgia. Attendees from all facets of our community gathered to celebrate the graduates and their individual paths. Speakers resonated with the core values of Stratford Hall, emphasizing authenticity,
relationships, perseverance, excellence, and kindness. These values, which define our school, were prominently showcased throughout the event, complemented by the sunny weather that graced our reception in the UBC Rose Garden.
This year was also notable in that we rewrote our Mission, Vision, and Values statements. Our previous statements served us well for 23 years. Over this time, the school, the world, education, and youth have changed massively, and we felt it was necessary to update these statements to ensure they were concise, memorable and true.
We consulted broadly with our whole school community through the strategic planning process. In surveys, focus groups, workshops, and feedback groups, our committee worked closely with members of our community to gather ideas, propose language, and revise drafts. After much discussion, revision, and the approval of the Board of Governors, I am so pleased to share Stratford Hall’s new foundational statements with you.
Mission: Empowering a diverse community of learners to passionately steward our changing world
A mission statement captures the purpose of an organization. While all of our publications will continue
to describe our school (K-12, International Baccalaureate, founded in 2000, located in East Vancouver), the mission statement serves as a purposeful reference for all of our actions and decisions.
This statement captures several themes that we heard repeatedly this year: diversity, equity, and inclusion are central to our identity as a community. Developing a lifelong love for learning is our main objective; we ultimately wish our students to take care of our rapidly changing world and make it a better place. The IB is central to achieving our mission, as we approach today’s challenges through internationalism, transdisciplinary thinking, and communication.
The PYP Exhibition exemplifies the new Stratford Hall Mission. Topics ranged ethical investing, to sustainability to technological innovation, and so much more. A diverse community of Grade 5 students become truly empowered to passionately steward our changing world.
Vision: Inspiring minds through innovation and ingenuity
A vision statement expresses the desired future state of our school. We have a proud history of innovation from our humble beginnings at the Italian Cultural Centre, a decade of
growth and campus development as the school established itself, and the more recent development of innovative programs such as design, the arts, outdoor education, and inclusion. We have developed a uniquely creative approach to innovation, ingeniously making the most of our resources to enhance each student’s experience.
In 2012, a student named Oscar developed a passion for tinkering with small machines and exploring design concepts. Inspired by his enthusiasm and dedication, teachers Meg Peñafiel and Gillian
Louie developed the concept for a multifaceted lab environment—The Exploratorium—for design thinking. With the generous support of our families, we brought this dream to life in the DP basement, where we now teach students to explore questions through design and express ideas through physical prototypes in the Idea Lab.
We may now expand this approach throughout the school to guide our future endeavours. Imagine the school 5, 10, 20 years in the future, forging new, ingenious approaches to International Baccalaureate education
in ways that are entirely true to who we are.
Values: Integrity, Curiosity, Belonging
School values make a clear statement of priority. The 10 IB Learner Profile traits will always feature prominently as we nurture learning and community; however, 10 is a lot to remember in our every action. What should we prioritize?
In an age of AI and social media, we must hold ever more closely the traits that keep us deeply human. Curiosity is a deeply human value—it’s one of the great reasons to be alive and part of society. Through inquiry, we pose deep questions and teach the art of exploration. Belonging is sustained through our dedication to respect, equity and inclusion. Stratford Hall is a safe space where we oppose the tribalism of exclusion and discrimination.
Confidence and excellence still ring true; however, nowadays they are readily embedded through contemporary teaching practices. Integrity always remains. “Without integrity, you can’t have the rest” (Matthew, Grade 9).
Please join me in celebrating our new Mission, Vision, and Values, as we develop the future of educational excellence for your children.

Celebrating Our Achievements and Our Community
As I conclude my sixth year on Stratford Hall’s Board of Governors and third year as Board Chair, I am filled with pride and excitement for the incredible milestones we’ve achieved together.
Over these years, we have accomplished so much. We’ve successfully created and completed a Bridge Strategic Plan with three fundamental goals: enhancing education, fostering community, and promoting growth. This plan has laid a robust foundation for our future endeavors, ensuring our educational programs are of the highest quality, our community is cohesive and supportive, and our school continues to expand and flourish. Additionally, we’ve launched a new long-term Strategic Plan and updated our Mission, Vision, and Values statements. By the time you read this, our new Mission, Vision and Values will have been shared with our community,
and the pillars of our strategic plan will be unveiled in September. Our revised Profile of a Graduate is now available on our website, highlighting the qualities and skills we aim to instill in our students. We’ve also broken our all-time Annual Fund record for five consecutive years—an outstanding feat. A heartfelt thank you to our generous donors for their unwavering support. Furthermore, we have reinitiated our Global Programs, offering students opportunities to embark on enriching trips that have sparked a touch of envy among parents who wish they could join.
While these achievements are significant, it is the people behind these accomplishments that we truly need to celebrate. Let us take a moment to honor and cherish the dedication, hard work, and passion that have made these successes possible.
Our entire community has played a vital role in our achievements. We celebrate our families who trust us with the education and upbringing of their children, nurturing their independence and compassion. We celebrate our eager students who are learning to think critically and inquire deeply, even if they do not yet realize the profound journey they are on.
Our volunteers deserve special recognition for their dedication and expertise, enhancing the school experience in countless ways. Whether ensuring safety at crosswalks,
serving as class representatives, or participating in the Stratford Hall Parent Association (SHPA), their efforts in friend-raising and creating a connected, fun environment are invaluable. A special acknowledgment goes to our board governors, committee members, and advisors for their strategic contributions.
Most importantly, we celebrate our extraordinary staff—the bedrock of our community. Their love and passion are deeply rooted in our school, and their daily commitment goes above and beyond, creating an authentic and joyful experience for our students. Their enthusiasm is reflected in the joy on our children’s faces as they navigate their educational journey, from skipping to classes in the Primary Years Programme (PYP), maturing in the Middle Years Programme (MYP), to finding their way in the Diploma Programme (DP). Our staff’s dedication fosters a sense of belonging and makes our school a vibrant, nurturing environment.
I invite you all to join me in celebrating our exceptional staff and community. Together, let us show our appreciation and bring joy to their faces, acknowledging everything they do to make Stratford Hall a remarkable place for learning and growth.

Valedictorian Address
BY: IZZY KARIM, ‘24
Valedictorian / Recepient of the Dave Sangha Award for Leadership & Community Service
Good Afternoon everyone, esteemed faculty, beloved families and friends, and my fellow classmates! My name is Izzy Karim and I am grateful to be delivering this Valedictorian Address on behalf of my spectacular graduates!
Today, we stand at the threshold of a new chapter in our lives. As we gather to celebrate the rollercoaster ride of 40 unique journeys, I am honored to share a few thoughts on what I believe are three guiding principles for our Stratford Hall and life journeys [pause]: being kind, being courageous, and being yourself.
First, BE KIND.
In a world that rewards competition as success, it’s easy to overlook the profound impact of simple acts of kindness. Yet kindness is a powerful force. It can lift spirits, provide strength, give life, and create connections that can last a lifetime.
Being kind doesn’t require grand gestures; it’s found in small everyday actions. A genuine smile from a classmate can make your day; thank you Kiera for your joy and laughter year round. Meaningful acts of kindness can change lifes; they can even save lives. Thank you Annie, Gisele, Ava and Ruby for organizing the blood drive. You inspired others to give, to give their blood to total strangers, nothing short of the gift of life. Caring and helping someone in need - these are the moments that truly define us.
As we move forward, let’s commit to spreading kindness wherever we go, understanding that every act of compassion makes the world a little better and brighter.
Next, BE COURAGEOUS.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. Throughout our high school journey, we faced numerous challenges—academic pressures, social dynamics, and personal struggles. Yet, with the unwavering support and
help from our incredible teachers, faculty and families, we persevered. We learned that courage is about stepping out of our comfort zones, taking risks, and facing the unknown with determination.
Josh H, when you came to school with your shaved head during 3 different years, you displayed the truest gesture of love and support for cancer awareness by raising money for BC Children’s Hospital Foundation. Your courage was contagious. It gave each of us the will to fight our own battles. Thank you for being so brave and inspiring.
Ryan and Miles, your passion for Ultimate and athletic competition is truly remarkable. All of us will be cheering you on as you represent Stratford Hall in the Canadian
Ultimate Championships this summer. May you fly high and soar to your dreams.
As we all venture into new territories, whether it’s college, a career, or any other path, let us remember that it takes courage to pursue our dreams, to stand up for what is right, and to forge our own paths. Let us be brave enough to fail, to learn, to grow, and keep trying, knowing that each step we take brings us closer to our true potential.
Lastly, BE YOURSELF.
In a world that often tries to mold us into certain shapes, staying true to who we are can be challenging. But authenticity is our greatest strength. Each of us is unique, with our own talents, passions, and perspectives. Embrace your individuality, celebrate your quirks, and honor your values.
Marcus, your artistic expressions are incredible. Thank you for your creativity; we proudly display your vision as our Stratford Hall logos on our Sabres House Colour t-shirts.
Poppy and Talulla, you are gifted musicians. You have a natural talent for the guitar and the piano. You play effortlessly! Your passion for your craft is incredible and exciting. May you one day fill halls with more cheering fans!
Being yourself means living with integrity and authenticity, and it means having the confidence to stand tall in your own identity. As we move forward, let us not be afraid to let our true selves shine, because it is our uniqueness that makes us remarkable.
So why should we have the courage to commit?
As German Writer, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once said, “At the moment of commitment the entire universe conspires to assist you”.
Our journey has been one of resilience, transformation and a strong love-hate relationship! Thank you to all the amazing faculty, teachers, and staff at Stratford Hall for being part of our journey. Ms. Collins, thank you for guiding
us through the chaos of university applications. Ms. Chang, thank you for supplying us with candy and treats after each exam and Ms. Chee, thank you for checking in with us. Teachers, without you, I don’t know how we would get through such a demanding and rigorous program. When we were stressed, you were there to lift our spirits and remind us of our strengths.
Parents and families, thank you for your unconditional love and support. You lifted our spirits in the tough and stressful times and rejoiced in our triumphs. To my Mom, Dad, Faraaz, Noor, and my Grandparents, thanks for always being there.
Finally, we can say goodbye to the IB! Goodbye to all the geography kognity assignments. Goodbye to all the English in-class essays—sorry Mr. Brownhill. Goodbye to all those 1 am study sessions and Hasta La Vista TOK!
Tristan AW, Jordan, Sienna, Ava, Adam, Paul, Gisele, Josh H, Caleb, Ezra, Natalie, Hannah, Nick, Nika, Poppy, Kai, Ella, Alyssa, Aiden, Samson, Annie, Talulla, Marcus, Aanchal, Maya, Kiera, Bowen, Uma, Tristan K, Ruby, Aria, Josh SL, Jason, Veniece, Alex, Jacqueline, Miles, Taryn, Ryan, each and every one of you is remarkable! I have loved being on this journey with you and thank you for all the memories!
As we leave behind the familiar halls of Stratford Hall and step into the vast opportunities ahead, let’s carry with us these three principles: be kind, be courageous, and be yourself. Let’s strive to create a future where compassion, bravery, and authenticity lead the way.
Congratulations, Class of 2024!!! The world awaits our kindness, our courage, and our true selves.
Thank you.
With abundant gratitude and love,
Izzy Karim
Let’s Celebrate

Graduation Dinner & Dance
Graduation Cruise
Grade 12 Final Assembly
Costa Rica
BY: LUCAS VENUGOPAL, LILAH BRENNAN & ANTHONY NORDEN
Grade 11 Students
The Costa Rica trip was a transformative experience. Being in this new context outside of home for 10 days pushed each one of us to face and overcome our own individual challenges, both with the service activities and with immersing ourselves in an unfamiliar culture.
Honestly, I was sceptical about the work we were doing and if we were really making a difference for these people. My challenge was finding a purpose that propelled me to persevere in doing physical labour activities, like pouring concrete, in the thick heat of the tropics. Being introduced to the idea of sweat equity and conservation over preservation led to a mindset shift for me. The work we were doing with mangrove reforestation, and building a septic tank and sidewalks was a different kind of labour to the projects we usually do in school in the sense that we didn’t have a fallback plan or an opportunity to just stop working whenever we felt like it. We had to depend on each other, which is a difficult thing for most people but feels so human and real at the same time. Key memories that stuck with me of baby turtles hatching and
waddling to the ocean, and the small things like strangers actually saying hi to you when you walk by them made this experience so memorable and rewarding for all the challenges we overcame
I am not someone who has travelled lots or ever been to a place like Costa Rica. It was an amazing experience, some days were harder than others due to heat or bug bites or other issues, but overall I really learned a lot on this trip. Being in Costa Rica really helped me learn more about how different communities live and I really connected with my peers and teachers. It is really wonderful to have developed relationships with my teachers that are not only school work related. The work we did in Costa Rica was very rewarding and staying at La Amistad was extremely welcoming. When I would cook with Liliana she made me feel as though I was part
of their family, and everyone on the island was very friendly which was a change from Vancouver. When you’re walking down the street everyone says hi and is so friendly, I believe we need more of that here in our own city. I am very grateful for this opportunity
In Costa Rica, we were given the opportunity to learn and to thrive: to discover their unique cultures, and to explore the diverse opportunities of the local peoples our rapidly changing world offers. Under the care and guidance of Costa Rica faculty and staff, we grew and matured, helping the locals in The Mangrove Reforestation and La Amistad, Isla Chira, and The Turtle Watchers in Playa Grande. All while equipping ourselves with tools, strength of character, and a global perspective that comes with an International Baccalaureate trip.
Montreal and Quebec Adventure
BY: GLADYS KONG, MARIAH CHAN & QUINN CASEY Trip Chaperones
As an IB school, Stratford Hall is dedicated to providing students with opportunities to connect to diverse communities and cultures.
Recently, our students embarked on a transformative trip to Québec, where they engaged with indigenous and francophone cultures while deepening their understanding of Canada’s rich history.
This educational trip offered a unique opportunity to explore the past from multiple perspectives, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of our nation’s complex history.
Exploring Indigenous Traditions at Kahnawake Reserve
The adventure began with a visit to the Kahnawake Reserve, where students listened to powerful stories from an Elder. This encounter provided invaluable insights into Indigenous traditions, struggles, and resilience. Hearing these firsthand accounts allowed students to connect with the history and culture of the Mohawk people in a profound and personal way.
Discovering Old Montréal’s Colonial Past
Next, students toured the old city of Montréal, delving into its colonial past and the lasting impact of French settlers. Wandering through cobblestone streets and historic buildings, they learned about the city’s development and its role in shaping Canadian history. This juxtaposition of Indigenous and colonial narratives enriched their understanding of the nation’s diverse heritage.
Immersion in Huron-Wendat Culture
In Québec, the group visited a traditional Huron-Wendat village,
Warmth and Comfort at the Sugar Shack
On a particularly cold day, students found warmth and comfort at a traditional Sugar Shack. They indulged in hearty meals and experienced the culinary traditions of old FrenchCanadian loggers. Making maple taffy was a highlight, providing a sweet taste of history that left a lasting impression.
Learning Beyond the Classroom
These varied experiences helped students develop crucial Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills. By understanding different perspectives, building empathy, and thinking
“It was a very fun trip with enthusiastic people and also welcoming communities.”
- Andrew G
stepping back in time to experience the daily life of the Huron-Wendat people. This immersive experience highlighted the ingenuity and traditions of one of Canada’s First Nations, offering students a tangible connection to the past.
critically about historical narratives, they gained valuable insights that extend beyond textbooks. The enchanting sight of snow falling like a scene from a snow globe added a magical touch to their learning, while also teaching a practical lesson: dressing warmly is essential for spring in other parts of Canada.
Reflections from the Journey
Despite the low temperatures, spirits remained high as students embraced new experiences and learning opportunities each day. The trip clearly left an indelible mark on them, as reflected in their anecdotes:
Jeffery L: “The sugar shack that had fresh and pure maple syrup, it was really fun to make the maple taffy.”
Mary L: “We spent a lot of time outdoors, it was very cold though.”
Tim L: “We had really good adventures.”
Margaret H: “The maple syrup was very fit and it really went with the Canadian stereotype. I would go again.”
Colby W: “I really enjoyed learning more about the Indigenous cultures and how they influenced Western culture.”
Janice W: “Really cold but worth the trip, lots of adventures.”
Jayden Z: “Really nice historical contexts for our learning.”
Yuly X: “I really liked the snow.”
Anonymous: “I would rate 9.5/10 very fun experience.”
Anonymous: “My overall experience is amazing. My needs were met and I think everything should be kept for this trip.”
Anonymous: “The experience was great spending time away from family and with friends.”
Anonymous: “It was really good. I think we should do it all again.”
This journey through Montréal and Québec was not just an educational trip but a transformative experience. It helped students appreciate the diverse cultural tapestry of our country, fostering a deeper connection to our shared history. This is undoubtedly an experience they will cherish and remember for years to come.
Exploring Change and Perspectives: Grade 8’s Cheakamus Field Trip
BY: SUSAN HUNT & GLADYS KONG Trip Chaperones
As part of our commitment to fostering a holistic and experiential learning environment, our Grade 8 students recently participated in an enriching field trip to the Cheakamus Centre. This excursion was closely tied to our IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) Interdisciplinary Unit (IDU), centred around the key concept of “Change,” and the related concepts of “Movement” and “Perspectives.”
Immersive Indigenous Cultural Experience
Cheakamus Centre offers a range of Indigenous educational experiences rooted in Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) culture. We also had the opportunity to hear firsthand from individuals who are Coast Salish and their personal stories and connections to the land. Our students were guided by Indigenous cultural educators,
immersing them in traditional Coast Salish practices within an authentic Longhouse and the surrounding rainforest ecological reserve. These experiences were pivotal in helping students appreciate the importance of oral storytelling, a key element in their upcoming presentations.
Throughout their stay, students participated in activities emphasizing traditional daily life, including cedar bark weaving, wool weaving, woodworking, and traditional Indigenous games. Students thoroughly enjoyed a game more commonly known now as knobby ball or double ball, played similarly to lacrosse, and traditionally played only by females. They also learned about the cultural significance of cedar trees during a walk through an old-growth forest. Additionally, they built community by preparing meals using traditional techniques such as cooking with hot rocks in bentwood boxes and making bannock over an open fire.
Connecting to the IDU: Change and Perspectives
The field trip directly supported our IDU theme by helping students explore “Change” through the lens of “Movement” and “Perspectives.” The global context, “Orientation in Time and Space,” was brought to life as students learned about the historical and cultural significance of the Skwxwú7mesh Peoples’ traditions and stories.
For their inquiry project, students will create a three-minute oral presentation using a story vine to combine scientific knowledge of geological movements with Indigenous explanations of these events. For instance, they might research earthquakes or volcanic eruptions and present both the scientific causes (tectonic plate movements) and Indigenous stories explaining these phenomena. This exercise not only hones their research skills but also builds empathy and a deeper understanding of different perspectives.
This field trip not only enhanced their academic knowledge but also fostered a sense of respect and appreciation for Indigenous cultures and their contributions to our
understanding of the natural world. Our Grade 8 students returned with a renewed sense of curiosity and a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of scientific and cultural perspectives.
Through such immersive experiences, Stratford Hall continues to cultivate globallyminded students who are equipped with the skills and perspectives necessary to navigate and appreciate our diverse world.
A Whirlwind of Creativity and Collaboration in Art and Design
BY: ANDREA RYAN Department Head, Art and Design
The second half of this year has been an exhilarating journey of creativity and collaboration for our students in the Art and Design department. These months have showcased their remarkable dedication and artistic spirit as they embraced numerous opportunities for authentic learning through various events and productions. We are incredibly proud of their accomplishments and eagerly anticipate their future growth. Here are some highlights:
Music Exchange
This year marked a significant milestone for our music program with the inauguration of our first-ever music exchange program. Students from a partner school visited Stratford Hall to perform, and our own students traveled to the Sunshine Coast to share their talents. This exchange not only enriched their musical skills but also fostered a sense of community and cultural exchange.
Mural Project
Our campus now boasts a stunning new mural on the Primary Years Programme (PYP) building, a true testament to authentic learning and artistic collaboration. Designed in partnership with design students and brought to life under the guidance of Phil Phil Studio, our PYP students gained invaluable hands-on experience in large-scale art creation, teamwork, and community engagement. The mural not only beautified our school but also provided a meaningful platform for our young artists to showcase their talents.
“Puffs” Production
In March, students from grades 6-12 presented “Puffs, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic” at The Cultch Historic Theatre. With over 400 hours dedicated to the production, the show featured nearly 200 lighting cues and over 600 sound effects. The Theatre Tech class designed, built, and managed approximately 100 costumes and props. The cast and crew delivered five performances for almost
1,000 audience members over three days. Weekly rehearsals from October to the spring brought this talented group of 40+ students together, culminating in an exceptional theatrical experience.
Some numbers to share the enormity of the school production:
• 40+ students in grades 6-12 participated
• 10 rehearsals or meetings per week over 20 school weeks
• Over 400 hours of collaborative work
• Nearly 200 lighting cues and over 600 sound effects
• 100 costumes and props designed, built, and managed by the Theatre Tech class
• 5 performances for almost 1,000 audience members over three days
DP Art Show
Our Diploma Programme (DP) Visual Arts Exhibition in April highlighted the incredible talent and hard work of our senior students. Fourteen students, representing almost a third of the graduating class, showcased a diverse array of artworks, including paintings, sculptures, and digital media. The exhibition reflected a wide range of themes and styles, with students taking great pride in curating their spaces with decorative and thematic details. The excitement was
palpable on opening night as they shared their creative achievements with the community.
PYP Clubs
Our Idea Lab student-run clubs have thrived this year, offering students amazing opportunities to explore their passions, develop leadership skills, and collaborate with
This whirlwind of creativity and collaboration has truly made the second half of the year an unforgettable experience for our Art and Design department. We look forward to seeing how our students will continue to grow and inspire us with their talents.
peers. Some of the clubs included Scratch Coding, Spark Lego, Digital Art, Dungeons and Dragons, and Little Bits. These clubs have provided a platform for students to engage in innovative and collaborative projects, further enhancing their learning experience.
Stratford Hall is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We value each other’s identity and well-being. Together, we learn and grow by embracing and respecting multiple perspectives, experiences, and cultures. Our differences are our strengths.
The Pride flag was originally designed in 1978 by Gilbert Baker. It consists of six horizontal lines representing life (red), healing (orange), sunlight (yellow), nature (green), harmony/peace (blue), and spirit (violet). In 2018, Daniel Quasar added on the half size stripes representing trans folks (light blue, light pink and white), and marginalized People of Color (brown, black). The arrow points to the right to show forward movement, while being along the left edge shows that progress still needs to be made.
SHPA Update
BY: Amanda Lee
Co-Chair, Stratford Hall Parent Association on behalf of SHPA Executive Leads
This school year, the Stratford Hall Parent Association (SHPA) has been bustling with activity, bringing our community together through a series of wonderful events.
We kicked off the year in September with our first Used Uniform Sale, held on the same day as the Welcome New Families Playdate, to help families stock up on any last-minute uniforms and accessories. This event was a great success, promoting sustainability through reusable clothing.
In the first week of school, we hosted the much-anticipated Welcome BBQ, where over 500 people enjoyed delicious food and lively conversation. It was a fantastic way to start the school year, fostering connections among families, students, and staff.
S tratford H all P arent A ssociation
To show our appreciation for the dedicated school staff, SHPA organized a special World Teachers’ Day Luncheon in October. This exciting buffet-style luncheon included draw prizes for all the staff, honouring the hard work and commitment of our educators. We extend our thanks to everyone who donated prizes, making the event even more engaging.
December brought the Winter Spirit Event, a festive occasion that not only spread holiday cheer but also raised an impressive $2,500 for the New Fountain Shelter (NFS) charity. The generosity and enthusiasm of our community were truly inspiring. It was lovely to see all the creative products our community had to offer, children supporting events for charity, and senior students creating care packages for NFS.
As spring approached, we held our second Staff Appreciation Luncheon in April. This event once again highlighted our gratitude for the staff’s ongoing efforts to make our school a better place for our children.
Our final event of the year, the Summer Carnival in June, featured our last Used Uniform Sale and a Used Books Sale, giving senior students a chance to pass down their used uniforms after graduating. In conjunction with the Senior School Spirit Day, it promised to be a spectacular celebration filled with fun activities for all ages—a perfect way to end the school year on a high note.
None of these events would have been possible without the generous support from the donations from our families through class funds. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the parents who volunteered their time and effort to make these events successful. Your dedication and participation are what make our community so special.
Thank you for a fantastic year, and we look forward to many more memorable events in the future!
Sincerely,
The Stratford Hall Parent Association
Celebrating Growth and Learning
BY: CHRISTIE BERKEY Junior School Principal (Interim)
As we reflect on the past half-year in the Junior School, a sense of pride and gratitude fills our hearts for the journey we’ve shared. It has been a year of remarkable growth and learning, marked by countless achievements and moments of joy. From the introduction of new initiatives to the celebration of cultural diversity, every aspect of our school community has contributed to our collective success.
Nurturing Growth Through a New Timetable
One of the most significant developments this year has been the implementation of a new timetable, designed to provide students with a more balanced and enriching learning experience. This change has allowed us to create space for deeper engagement and reflection, fostering a culture of curiosity and exploration. Through this initiative, we have witnessed our students thrive, embracing challenges with resilience and enthusiasm. The adoption of
the new timetable reflects our commitment to nurturing holistic growth and empowering students to reach their full potential.
Cultural Celebrations: Embracing Diversity
At the heart of our school community is a celebration of diversity and inclusivity. Throughout the year, we have embraced cultural celebrations that have enriched our understanding of the world and fostered a sense of belonging. From Lunar New Year festivities to StoryFest, our students have had the opportunity to explore different cultures and traditions, deepening their appreciation for the rich tapestry of human experience. Through these celebrations, we have cultivated an environment where every voice is heard and valued, promoting empathy, understanding, and global citizenship.
Empowered Learning
Throughout the year, our Grade 4 and 5 students embarked on transformative journeys, experiencing personal growth through outdoor and entrepreneurial endeavors. At camp, both grades embraced challenges, discovering hidden talents and fostering selfdiscovery. Simultaneously, the Grade 5 PYP Exhibition showcased their critical thinking, effective collaboration, and persuasive communication skills. The Grade 4 Marketplace highlighted their entrepreneurial spirit and creativity, from business planning to product showcasing. These experiences honed essential skills like problem-solving and teamwork while instilling confidence and resourcefulness. They exemplify our commitment to nurturing holistic growth and preparing students for success in a dynamic world.
Celebrating Artistic Achievement
The arts have flourished at Stratford Hall’s Junior School this year, with captivating performances and creative expressions. Our Grade 1-3 and Grade 4-6 musical productions, Go Fish and The Music of Sound, showcased the talent and dedication of our students, bringing joy and inspiration to audiences. Arts Week provided a platform for students to explore their creativity through various mediums, culminating in the creation of a collaborative mural on the back of the PYP building, a testament to the power of teamwork and artistic expression. Additionally, the orchestra’s performance at Grandparents Day added a touch of elegance and musicality to the celebration, highlighting the importance of the arts in our school community. These artistic endeavors have not only enriched our students’ lives but also fostered a culture of creativity and expression that will continue to thrive in the years to come.
Athletic Triumphs: Fostering Team Spirit and Excellence
In addition to academic achievements, our Junior School students have showcased remarkable athleticism and sportsmanship throughout the year, demonstrating the importance of physical activity and teamwork in their holistic development. From Track and Field Meets to Swim Competitions and Ultimate Matches, our students have excelled in various athletic endeavours, earning accolades and fostering a sense of pride in representing our school. Their participation in events like Junior School Sports Day has not only been about competition but also about camaraderie and sportsmanship, reinforcing the values of teamwork, fair play, and perseverance.
Building Community and School Spirit
At Stratford Hall, we prioritize building connections across grade levels and fostering a strong sense of school spirit. Throughout the year, Spirit Days bring students from Kindergarten to Grade 12 together in celebration. One highlight of our continuum
connections is the interaction between our Kindergarten and Grade 12 students. This term, our youngest learners performed for our graduates at the K12 Final Assembly and presented books to their graduating senior buddies, symbolizing the strong bonds across different grades and the continuity of the IB continuum. Through these initiatives, we cultivate a supportive environment where every student feels valued and connected to our vibrant school community.
A Community of Growth and Joy
This year has been one of remarkable growth and joy at Stratford Hall’s Junior School. The dedication of our students, teachers, and families has made this journey truly special. As we continue to build on these successes, we remain committed to fostering a supportive and dynamic learning environment. Together, we are making this school year one full of meaningful connections and celebrations, embodying the spirit of the IB Learner Profile in all that we do.
In the Senior School
BY: HAZEL CHEE Senior School Principal
As we bid farewell to another remarkable academic year, it’s with hearts brimming with pride and gratitude that we reminisce on the beautiful journey we’ve shared as a school family. This year has been nothing short of extraordinary, defined by our unwavering commitment to creating a community where every individual feels seen, valued, and loved.
Reflecting on Our Beginnings
As we embarked on this year’s adventure together, we were filled with hope and anticipation; with the resumption of various community activities and launching of our Global Programs. With open hearts and eager minds, we set out to weave the threads of unity, compassion, and joy into the very fabric of our school. From our very first moments together, we knew that something special was stirring within our midst—a sense of belonging, of togetherness, that would carry us through the challenges and triumphs that lay ahead.
Nurturing a Proud and Inclusive Family
Starting the school year with September retreats, a distinctive Stratford tradition, we concluded it with grade camps. The focus throughout has been not just academic connections but reinforcing our sense of belonging and prioritising well-being for all. Throughout the year, we’ve embraced the beauty of our diversity and celebrated the richness of our shared humanity. From spirited cultural exchanges to heartfelt conversations that deepened our understanding of one another, we’ve nurtured a culture of
inclusivity that serves as the heartbeat of our school family. Here, everyone’s story is honored, everyone’s voice is heard, and everyone’s presence is cherished—a testament to the boundless power of love and acceptance.
Finding Joy in Learning and Growth
In our pursuit of academic excellence, we’ve discovered that true joy resides not only in the destination but in the journey itself. With laughter echoing through our halls and curiosity lighting up our classrooms, we’ve embarked on a voyage of discovery—one fueled by passion, creativity, and the thrill of new possibilities. Together, we’ve dared to dream, to explore, and to push the boundaries of our understanding, finding strength in each other’s courage and resilience. Highlights included the DP Visual Art Exhibition, Sustainability week where the MYP building was turned into the Pacific Ocean, MYP Personal Project Exhibition that showcased Grade 10 passion projects, Innovation 8, I&S artifact tables in collaboration with the library team, academic course immersions, enlightening field trips to the Planetarium, Science World, and Hiwus Feasthouse, Grouse Mountain and meaningful community
collaborations with partners such New Fountain Shelter and Queen Alexandra. In essence, our collective journey is not just about academic growth but about fostering a warm, inclusive community where each child thrives.
United by a Shared Vision of Hope
As we gaze towards the horizon of tomorrow, we do so with hearts united in hope and purpose. Together, we’ve dared to envision a future where kindness reigns supreme, where justice knows no bounds, and where every dream, no matter how big or small, is nurtured with love and care.
In closing, as we bid farewell to this unforgettable chapter in our journey, let us carry forward the lessons learned, the memories cherished, and the bonds forged in love and unity. For in the tapestry of our school family, each thread, no matter how small, adds its own unique hue to the masterpiece of our shared story. And together, with hearts full of hope and hands joined in solidarity, there is no limit to the wonders we can achieve.
Sabres Athletics Term 2 & 3 Update
BY: BOBBY NISHI Athletics Director
A lot has happened since our last Imprint Issue, and we’re thrilled to share a celebratory recap of our Winter and Spring Sports!
Basketball
Our basketball season was nothing short of amazing, with 10 teams in action, including a triumphant return by the Senior Boys Team! Our teams shined brightly in ISEA Play Days, Championships, and the GVISAA League. A massive congratulations to our Bantam Girls Basketball Team for clinching the GVISAA Championship for the first time in Stratford Hall history! They went undefeated in league play, delivering spectacular wins over VCS and Regent Christian in the playoffs. A special shoutout to Sienna Chu for being named MVP of the tournament. Other highlights include our Junior Boys Basketball Team, who hit their peak just in time to win a GVISAA Play-Off game against Southpointe Academy, with Grade 10 star Chris Tang leading the charge. The future of SH Basketball is dazzlingly bright, with students already back in the gym for off-season training with the Vancouver Basketball Academy. Every Tuesday and Thursday in April and May, Grade 4-12 students have been working tirelessly to elevate their skills and basketball IQ. We can’t wait to see their dedication pay off next season!
Swimming
Our Junior School Swim team made quite a splash under the expert guidance of Rhea Lofstrom, Gillian Louie, and Ryan McPhee. They improved their strokes and competed with boundless enthusiasm at four events. The season kicked off with a road trip to Victoria for the ISEA Jamboree hosted by GNS, followed by the WPGA Invitational, St. George’s Swim Meet, and the grand finale at the ISEA Championships at WaterMania. Mara Veldhuis led the pack, earning first place in the 50m Breaststroke and second place in both the 50m Butterfly and 50m Freestyle. Swim training continued for Grades 3 and 4, who showed incredible dedication by waking up early for Tuesday
practices at Renfrew and Templeton Pool throughout April and May.
Ultimate
Our ultimate (ulti) teams had another phenomenal season! The Senior Ulti team dominated the GVISAA and LMISSAA Leagues, going undefeated to secure a spot in the 2024 AA Provincials in Kamloops, BC. After an incredible 3-0 first day, the Sabres faced a tough match against Chatelach in the quarterfinals but bounced back to secure a fantastic 7th place finish. A huge thank you to Grade 12 captains Kiera Ho and Miles Wong, along with all Grade 12 team members, for their stellar leadership. The Junior Ulti team
also shone brightly, qualifying for Provincials and finishing 15th in BC. Heartfelt thanks to our dedicated coaches Alex Lam, Justin Podnar, Blake Merilees, Angela Collins, and Lilian Chao for their invaluable guidance.
Our Grade 5 students got their first taste of ultimate this season, while Grades 6 and 7 built on their strong foundation. Weekly play days at Winona Park, come rain or shine, provided fantastic opportunities to play against other ISEA schools and showcase their skill, effort, and spirit. The season’s grand finale at SabreFest saw our Sabres clinch the trophy, winning the Tier 1 Division! A big thank you to coaches Julia Soderholm, Jaime Gomez, Bobby Nishi, Curtis Schaffer, Jessica Rock, and student coaches
Jacob Au, Nhan Veldhuis, and Darren Kan for continuing to build a robust ulti program at Stratford Hall.
Badminton
Our badminton season was a smashing success, with our A & B squads competing in GVISAA and a new opportunity in the LMISSAA Tier 2 bracket. Under the expert guidance of Coach Connor Louie, students made remarkable strides in their game. Their progress was showcased brilliantly at the GVISAA Tournament at SJS, where they secured a 5th place finish, and at the LMISSAA Jamboree Play Day at Crofton House.
Track and Field
The track and field season ended with impressive performances at the Stratford Hall Meet, UBC Meet, and the culminating ISEA Championship Meet. The Sabres made a strong statement, placing third overall in the boys’ category and fourth in the girls’ category out of 14 schools. First place individual accolades go to:
• Aliyan Sunderji: Grade 7 A Boys Shot Put & Discus
• Isaac Anand: Grade 7 B Boys Discus
• Tyson Vu: Grade 6 A Boys Discus
• Sahvin Khera: Grade 6 B Boys Discus
• Elisa Chu: Grade 4 B Girls 60m
• Dani Rodenburgh: Grade 7 B Girls Shot Put
That wraps up the sensational 2023/24 season! We look forward to welcoming everyone back next year. GO SABRES!

Message from the Alumni Association
This year, the Alumni Committee has worked hard to strengthen the bonds between past and present students. Providing invaluable guidance and inspiration to current students, we celebrated the third year of the Alumni Mentorship Program. Proud of how much the program has evolved and grown in the last three years, even at its young age, we have come full circle welcoming back a former mentee in his new role as mentor. This year has seen a record number of students participate, reflecting the value our returned alumni have been sharing through their mentorship and experiences, and highlighting the increased engagement within our community.
As another school year comes to a close, we look forward to welcoming the Class of 2024 to a community of accomplished, innovative and global alumni. To the graduates, I invite you to remain connected with Stratford by becoming a member of the Alumni Committee.

Message of Gratitude at the Donor Reception
BY: DAWSON ARMSTRONG Grade 11, Student Ambassador
My name is Dawson Armstrong, and I am currently a Grade 11 student at Stratford Hall.
On behalf of all the students at Stratford Hall, we’d like to thank you for being an Annual Fund donor.
Because of the Annual Fund, students have more opportunities to explore activities outside the scope of the academic IB programme.
For example, for the last two years I participated in the Musical Theatre productions; The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and “Puffs” otherwise known as Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Male Magic and Female Magic.
Because of your donations to the Annual Fund we were able to perform at the East Vancouver Cultural Centre. It was exciting to be able to feel what it was like to be in a professional theatre space.
I also discovered how enjoyable theatre can be. I grew in confidence and made friends across grades that I would not have been able to meet had I not participated in these productions.
I have also been planning to study Marine Biology upon graduation next year. Because of the Annual Fund, students are able to use top notch science technology to become more familiar with the equipment I will use in my chosen field of study.
One last thing I’d like to mention is the Annual Fund contribution to the Student Leadership program. As one of next year’s Sustainability Prefects, this is an aspect of student life that I will be heavily involved in. And my younger brother, Grady, who was a Junior Prefect last year was able to attend leadership events hosted by various organizations because of your support.
Your contributions will go towards several student initiatives to benefit the Stratford Hall community, as well as the broader community, such as the expansion of the Clark Park Clean up.
Once again, thank you for your ongoing contributions to Stratford Hall’s Annual Fund.

Congratulations 2024 Graduates of Stratford Hall
No matter what the world throws at you, your years of hard work, the memories made, the relationships built, the all-nighters pulled, the problems set, the hours and hours of labs conducted, the late-night essays completed, the big wins won, the tough losses taken, the extracurriculars you poured your heart and soul into, and the friends who became family, no one—and nothing—can take that away.
You are the class that is truly ready to be changemakers.
You are our future leaders!
Reach for the stars. Follow your dreams. Now and always.
We are so proud of you and wish you the very best that life has to offer.
The Class of 2024
