Saints Book Club Wraps Up The Year With
The Riveter
On Tuesday, May 19th, the Saints Book Club gathered for its final meeting of the year about the novel The Riveter by Vancouver author, Mr. Jack Wang. 30 students from Grades 8–12 and six teachers met over pizza to share their thoughts on the book. After a group reading and ice breaker, students split into smaller groups to continue the discussion on their own. To find out what we talked about, check out the questions created by Preston S. ‘27 and Tim D. ‘27 here!
The Riveter gave us so much to discuss: the history of WWII, the Chinese-Canadian experience during the war, the racial tensions that shaped that time, the familiar regional setting of Vancouver, and the characters’ complex relationships.
For those interested in Book Club: All students and staff are welcome to join! We read three books a year and strive to choose books that have been published in the last two years. We will choose our next novel in mid-September, and our first meeting will take place after the November Term Break. For more information, please contact Ms. Sandra Gin at: [email protected], or Ms. Stephanie Chan at: [email protected].

After a season filled with hard work, growth, and determination, the boys continue to build toward the BCSS Championships in Abbotsford from May 27th–30th and the opportunity to compete against the top programs in the province. With Provincials now in sight, the team is eager for the challenge ahead and will look to bring the Provincial Title back home once again.

Junior Rugby
Golf
With a top-three finish at this week's VS2S Zone Tournament, this result sends our Saints Golfers with a one-way ticket to Provincials. This result is a testament to the energy and commitment our Golfers have shown thus far on the fairways. Attitude to training and mid-week fixtures has put our players in a great position entering Provincials early June at the GreenTee Country Club in Langley. Last-minute preparation will take place with a few rounds scheduled next week at Langara and Point Grey before the big dance. Good luck, boys!
Ultimate
After a strong season built on growth, teamwork, and determination, the Junior Ultimate Team is set to compete at Provincials on May 25th and 26th at Newton Athletic Park. The group has shown steady improvement throughout the year and is eager for the chance to compete on one of the biggest weekends of the season. Best of luck to the team as they head into Provincials and represent the School with pride.

Good luck to all the boys competing as they represent the School with pride and determination. There is also the Multi-Event Championships, where Robin Xiao ‘27 will be heading to North Delta Track and Field Facility to compete.
