On July 3 and 4, BSS hosted the annual Investigations and Expressions: Summer Symposium, bringing together educators from across Canada. Together, they explored a Reggio-inspired approach to education, delving into documentation, knowledge building and the image of the child as key to creating meaningful learning environments.
Through hands-on experiences and thought-provoking sessions, like mark making, clay work in the ravine, presentations from BSS educators and collaborative readings, participants built connections and deepened their practice.
One attendee captured the spirit of the event perfectly: “You have reignited the fire inside me. I am so excited to put what I’ve learned to work.”

Bobcat Buddies is a connections program that pairs Senior School students with students in the Junior School. This year, Senior students were matched with Grade 3 buddies. Throughout the year, they exchanged letters, building meaningful connections that culminated in a joyful in-person celebration this May.

Five students just completed an unforgettable sea kayaking journey through the stunning Nootka Sound — all part of their journey toward the Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. From navigating tides to setting up camp under the stars, this trip was a true test of teamwork, resilience and leadership. Congrats to all on this incredible achievement!
