Celebrate the Act of Giving BACK!
Welcome to a New school year!
All of us at the Britannia Support Society are excited about the year ahead.
There were many amazing accomplishments by Brit students last year and the board looks forward to helping students and teachers to reach their goals this year as well.
We are committed to students’ academic, artistic, and athletic achievements.
And we are committed to supporting Britannia as a safe and welcoming place for all.
The staff at Brit have many plans for making this school year a good one and have already started the work with Assemblies, the upcoming Terry Fox run and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
The BSS is honoured to support TRC with a grant to the school to bring the nationally acclaimed Dancers of Damelahamid to perform for the Brit Community.
And yet even more Excellence
Please join us in congratulating the Britannia CanSAT Teams and their teacher Hannah Sugar on their successes this past weekend. CanSAT is a Canada-wide STEM competition where students design, build and launch pop can sized satellites. Britannia sent two teams: BSAET (Sevak Stepanyan, Eliel Vega, Benny Deng, Ava Rumney, Nina Colijn-Rattan, Heidi Jiang) and Room 101 (Edwin Zhou, Anisa Abduhamedova,
BSAET was awarded the Grand Champion trophy! They came in first place out of 13 teams, showing amazing perseverance, teamwork, and technical skill. As the winning team, BSAET was been invited to participate in the "CanSAT - Space Engineer for a Day Event" put on by the European Space Agency at ESTEC (European Space Research and Technology Centre) in the Netherlands!
Our very own Mike Evans was recognized by the VSB superintendent for his unmatched dedication throughout his career (paid and retired!) to the students that he has taught, counselled and coached at Brit. ( He did work at Van Tech too but we don’t like to talk about it.)
Congratulations Mike. I don’t know what took the VSB so long!
