ACHIEVEMENTS

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR SOCIAL JUSTICE TEAMS! 

Immaculata’s Social Justice 12 students competed in Kelowna’s Sustainable Development Challenge, creating solutions to some of the major challenges in our world, with a chance to win $5000 towards their project. Our teams did not win the first prize but won second and third place, raising a total of $3000 for their projects.

From the Ground Up (Flora Grenier, Tatum Newton and Jeremiah Lano) is working towards a green revamping of Ozanam House, a men’s recovery home supported by the St. Vincent DePaul Society. Their $5000 plan would be the beginning of a process to convert the house to a more renewable energy heating system to both save the environment and allow funding for Ozanam House to be used more effectively on programs for its residents instead of high energy bills.

Life Garden 2023 (Jessika Durose, Gabby Mercado and Reine Alaji) is helping Provision of Hope to create vegetable gardens in Liberia to create sustainable jobs and shift the diet of the people in the region from simple subsistence foods to healthy, home grown, whole foods. The project also includes an educational component, teaching students the importance of a healthy diet. Recently, the Liberian Minister of Health has reached out to the organization to partner with them and create more of these living gardens in hospitals throughout the country.  

These teams are determined to see their projects through to completion and need our community to support them. If you are able to donate or spread awareness of their projects, please contact Mr. Richard at the school, or find the teams directly on Instagram. 

SOME INTERNATIONAL NEWS...

Once orders close, we’ll notify everyone when and where you can collect your treats. Please share with anyone you know who might be interested. It would help us so much.

Thank you!

THIS IS A GREAT SALE!

We can’t help but notice many or our students are missing uniform bottoms, opting for less than perfect units. Here’s a great opportunity to fulfill the uniform requirements at a discount. 40% is a great sale and it is on uniform bottoms only. If you would like guidance on what to order, you can always see Mrs. Uhrich. 

COLLECTING TO MAKE WARM UP PACKS

Please remember that we are collecting items to make warm up packs to donate to HOPE OUTREACH this winter. Each grade has a designated item to be collected. The deadline was extended to February 27, perhaps pick something up while you shop this weekend. 

DO YOU HAVE STUDENTS AT BOTH?


It's registration time and if you have students at Immaculata and either of the elementary schools you know about blended tuition. Please complete the form below to update your status.

GOVERNOR GENERAL AWARD

This year’s prestigious award was given to Hudson Bikichky. Hudson averaged 97% with his combined grade 11 and 12 courses at Immaculata.

Hudson started working full-time as a music composer and sound designer for the audio production company Fairfield Audio after graduation. He has since worked with Warner Bros, designing hundreds of sounds for the newly-released Harry Potter game, Magic Caster Wand, that connects with a physical wand product, and sold out in just a few hours. The project was largely successful, and his sounds from the game were used in viral promotional material and in live product demonstrations across North America.

Congratulations Hudson!
