As expressing one's self in writing is an art to celebrate, we are excited to invite students to apply for the Madeleine Austin Spirit Award, established in June 2008 to honour Madeleine Austin, an exemplary citizen, loving parent, and strong supporter of West Point Grey Academy. The award requires students to submit an application and write an in-class essay on an assigned topic. A $1,000 tuition credit will be given to one student in grade 6 or 7 and one student in grade 8, 9 or 10. The runner-up in each grade category will receive a $500 tuition credit.

Since 1996, West Point Grey Academy has gratefully resided on the Jericho Lands, the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) Nation and sə̓lílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nation. Honoured to learn and play on these beautiful lands, we endeavour to be a leader in Indigenous education. In creating shared understanding and opportunities, we hope to help foster a more equitable society for all.
