WPGA’s Inaugural TEDx-Style Event - March 9, 2026

By Mr. Josh Hatt, Senior School Teacher 

West Point Grey Academy’s Global Discourse and Reasoning Program is excited to present our first TEDx-style event, Voices that Carry. Over the past several weeks, students in Critical Thinking and Communication (CTC) 8 and 9 have been working closely with Mr. Patrick Johnson and Mr. Josh Hatt to develop and refine speeches that explore ideas, perspectives, and issues that matter to them.

This special afternoon will showcase student voice, thoughtful discourse, and the confidence that comes from sharing ideas with a live audience. Families are warmly invited to attend and celebrate the work our students have been preparing.

Event Details
  • Date: Monday, March 9
  • Time: 3:30pm (welcome and light snacks to follow)
  • Location: WPGA Drama Studio

All members of the WPGA community are welcome to attend as audience members. Admission is free, but we encourage families to reserve tickets in advance.

We hope you will join us in supporting these young speakers as they share ideas that challenge, inspire, and carry forward into our community.
