Our generation has been called apathetic; we are often considered the generation who simply doesn’t care. Somehow, an image has been formed in people’s minds, in which we sit at our computers and listen to our iPods and text on our phones and ignore everything important that is happening in the world. This isn’t true. Young people care very much about global issues, and recently an event took

Once again, Delview Secondary has proven that a little school can have enormous accomplishments. Thanks 4 Giving is a huge event that takes weeks to plan, with teachers and students giving up hours of their time each day, well before the actual event takes place. On October 14th, however, it is all made worthwhile by the number of participants and the sheer generosity of the community. This year

Trades and technology will once again be front and centre this year at Delview Secondary. Our very own Sebastian Klinkenburg was part of an initial group of Delta students who attended the first ever Technology Stretch (TechStretch) session earlier in the fall term. In this program students participate in five practical, interactive sessions at Delta Manor under the guidance of Al Miles, BCIT

There has been a long standing tradition here at Delview that all Planning 10 classes take part in the a project called YPI (Youth and Philanthropy Initiative). The goal of this project is to spead awareness to youth, of charities in their local communities that are in need. This Project provides students with the chance to change the lives of the less fortunate in their communities. The

In Early April a special evening was held for students in the Secondary School Apprenticeship program who had earned $1000 scholarships from the Industry Training Authority. This year Delview Secondary had two well deserved winners of this award – Kevin Kirk and Travis Dickson. Kevin has been pursuing his interest in Auto Repair and Travis is now immersed in a career in the Plumbing industry. The

Since WE Day came to Vancouver in September, Delview’s own Me to We Committee has been quietly planning ways to give back to the communities that support them. This January, they began to put their plans into action. Their first step was a trip to the NightShift Street Ministries soup kitchen in Whalley, where they did their best to make a difference in the lives of as many people as they could.

Delview has always been known as a small school with a big heart, and this year that heart expanded to include all of Haiti when news reached students’ ears of the devastating earthquake that struck the already suffering country. The Me to We Committee acted quickly, and within the week they organized a simple donation collection that allowed all students and teachers to make a difference in

For some time now, Delview Secondary has provided an opportunity for students to prove that they are some of the most compassionate young people in the province, and it continued its efforts earlier this October at Delview’s 17th annual Thanks 4 Giving. The canned food drive supports both Deltassist and the Surrey Food Bank, reaching out to people who live in poverty from both communities. It

On September 29th, twenty-six Delview students were given the unique opportunity to attend Vancouver's first ever WE Day event held at GM Place. A variety of inspirational speakers and performers addressed the youth on topics regarding the promotion of peace and taking the leap towards creating a better world. WE Day is an initiative put forth by a non-profit organization called Free the Children

At the end of April a group of students from Delview Secondary climbed aboard a bus bound for the annual BC Skills Competitions in Abbotsford. The common denominator for our adventurers was an interest in the trades and desire to understand the many opportunities, benefits and rewards of skilled trade and technology careers. The bus ride down to Abbotsford gave students considering trades as a

Graduation day came early for one group of Delview students who were enrolled in the Bay Junior Management program earlier this year. Almost every Thursday afternoon after school since early October these intrepid students have been heading off to the Bay at Guildford Mall to learn management techniques at the Bay. The Bay Management program helped them realize the complexities of running a large

Delview Secondary has always been known for its spectacular theatrical performances and the talent of the students involved in them. Now, having recently become a Fine Arts school, Delview is going even further. A total of four shows are being put on over the course of the year, though two of them have already run their course; Steel Magnolias and Our Town opened to much success. Next up is the

After two years of planning, Delview’s 2009 Globetrotters, consisting of 38 students and four teachers, spent this year’s Spring break experiencing the arts, history, architecture and cultures of central Europe. After flying through the night, we arrived in Berlin. We were a little travel weary but excited and ready to explore the city that allowed us to step back in time to the Cold War when

How many times have you thought to yourself as you relaxed after a long day at work or at school …. home sweet home? Home certainly is a great comfort from the hectic pace of our daily lives. And what exactly goes into making a home the sanctuary we so cherish?

Stories have been around for as long as man has been around to tell them. Passed down through spoken word, tales of magnificent gods and mortals who were close enough to that status have remained embedded among us since a creative mind thought them up, or a meticulous person took the time to recall the events that he had seen occur before him. Later, such things were written down; ink flowed

On November 5th at the 14th Annual Take Our Kids to Work Day, all grade 9’s were given the opportunity to spend a day “at work”. Across the country, students set out to spend the day with Mom, Dad, Grandparent, Uncle, Aunt or friend to experience a work place setting, observe, ask questions and understand the importance of education, skills development and experience the world of work!.

One of the most exciting aspects of drama class is the fieldtrips. Previously, Mrs. Hillman would take her students to see performances at the Vancouver Playhouse Theatre. That is no longer possible. However, the ever-resourceful drama teacher has managed to work her way around that restriction. Most recently, her drama students from grades ten to twelve had the unique opportunity of visiting the

After many, many long years, the construction at Delview is complete at last. We can finally rejoice in the conspicuous lack of dust, classrooms that smell like tar, tractors driving through the few of our hallways that aren't blocked off and classes that change rooms several times in one year. So what do we have to show for all of the trouble we've undergone? Well, there isn't much of the old

Up until April the 7th of this year, to some extent, I felt quite carefree. After my third attempt, I had finally earned my novice-stage driving license. I was filled with some of the self-confidence that had withered away over the past year through mediocre grades, failed crushes and employment hardships. I now felt a sense of belonging with the rest of my graduating class, especially my friends

The afternoon was no less exciting. Students got to explore and experience all manner of trades and apprenticeships first hand at the Trading Up fair at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds.

On one of the first sunny warm days in early April, Delview students had the opportunity to attend a day of events organized around industry and the trades. The morning started with a guided tour of the works yard for BC Ferries - the basin near the Massey Tunnel where all the maintenance is done on the BC Ferries fleet.
