The program includes regular visits from University Admissions Officers, detailed guidance on application procedures, exploratory visits to Universities, enriched mini-courses to establish a scholarly mindset, and the permanent services of a University Counsellor.

Community:

Some of the ways Westside builds a strong community every year are as follows:
• Parent Academies

• Community Pot-Luck lunches
• Weekly Assemblies
• Middle Years Alternative Programming Week twice per year
• Middle Years Camp Week
• Mixed grade Super Curriculum programming
• Musical Theatre program culminating in the Spring Concert

Westside also does its best to make a positive contribution to the greater Vancouver community as well by participating in some of the following:


• Performances and companionship for Seniors
• Purchasing goods and services from local suppliers
• Providing speakers on education for local clubs and societies
• Participating in local charity and civic initiatives
• Encouraging student volunteerism

Tips For Parents:

Little kids need instant feedback, so it’s okay for parents of young grade-schoolers to correct mistakes. Then emphasize what your kid’s done well. After she’s finished, take her paper and say “Hmm, I’m looking for something . . .” After scanning it for a minute, say “Aha! Look how well you wrote your letters in this part!” or “This sentence is even better than the one you came up with yesterday!” If you praise specific improvements, your little learner will become more inclined to try to do a good job the first time around.
