Ms. Cleary Haire was my grade 10 nutrition teacher and grade 12 English teacher at Ascension Collegiate. Going to her class was one of the best parts of the day for me and my friends – we always knew there would be a new joke or life story to be told. Her classes were one […]

I met Mrs. Shortall in grade 10 when I switched into Core French from French Immersion just before midterms. I remember Mrs. Shortall telling me that she would switch me into a higher level French if I did well on the midterm. I received a 99% on the midterm, yet Mrs. Shortall did not switch […]

Anne Whelan, where do I begin? In my k-12 journey I have had some pretty amazing teachers! And I really can go on and on about each and every single one. But, Anne made such a huge impact on me in my high school years, as well as now. I had Anne for theatre arts […]

It has been many years since I’ve last seen Mrs. Pelley, in fact it has been almost nine academic years. I have gone from a struggling student … who could barely earn a 50% in grade 9 … to a strong 3rd year social work student at the University of Victoria, where I am specializing […]

Junior high was a really rough time for me, as it is for a lot of kids. I faced a lot of bullying and I didn’t know many people in my homeroom. Science class was the only class I ever looked forward to. I had been interested in science my entire life, but there was […]

Ms. Sheehan was my clothing & textiles teacher in grade 11 and my nutrition teacher in grade 12 at Ascension Collegiate but she has always been, and continues to be, a teacher of everyday life lessons to me. She was always supportive in class and taught us to do our best with everything we did. […]
Many years ago, Mike Best taught me Grade 9, 10, and 11 English at Gonzaga. As I look back on those years, I realize most of the school curriculum was drudgery for me, very little was interesting. But his classes were different. From the excited way he walked into the classroom and introduced the topic […]
