Scholarship Day

The sun shone brilliantly as 22 students and their families arrived on Saturday morning for Scholarship Day. External applicants arrived fresh faced and filled with slight trepidation as they sat both English and math exams. Headmaster David Robertson welcomed families in the Library as they anxiously awaited the commencement of the exams. While students wrote their exams, parents met with Department Heads and asked questions pertaining to academic choices and received advice from the experts. Later, parents enjoyed an information session held by our Deputy Head, Jo-Anne Kingstone, as well as several House Directors, and a student panel. Many questions were answered and a few laughs ensued. After the applicants were finished their exams, parents were reunited with their children who looked much more relaxed. A tasty lunch was served in the Upper Dining Hall allowing prospective parents to mingle while enjoying a sample of Shawnigan's food. Student led tours were then available for those who wanted to have a refresher!
