5 Year Dinner
A select cohort of graduating students who have spent the last five years at Shawnigan were treated to a special dinner with the Head of School, their Advisors, House Directors, and the Senior Leadership Team on Tuesday evening.
The 24 students started their Shawnigan Journey in Grade 8 and have followed it through to Grade 12, developing unique relationships both with each other and the School as a whole. Every year, that group is celebrated near the end of the year at the 5 Year Dinner.
After enjoying some appetizers, the students and other guests took their seats in the Friesen Student Centre, where they each found cards prompting conversations, such as special memories – or regrets – from their time at the School. They enjoyed a dinner of steak and lobster, followed by ice cream for dessert.
Each of the advisors gave short speeches about their advisees – some heartfelt, some funny, all emotionally charged – then presented their advisees with a gift.
We acknowledge with respect the Coast Salish Peoples on whose traditional lands and waterways we live, learn and play. We are grateful for the opportunity to share in this beautiful region, and we aspire to healthy and respectful relationships with those who have lived on and cared for these lands for millennia.
