Putting our Faith into Action

The annual 30 hours of community service that each student completes truly has an effect on both the student and the recipients of the service.  Nothing could be more evident as experienced by the Mexico Mission teams.  All of the participants who have experienced the exhausting, but exciting work, have been profoundly changed by the experience.  Partnering with the local Catholic community in Cuauhtemoc, Mexico, the teams have built 4 new houses and have been encouraged by the city to build a new neighborhood.  Our mission continues to prosper because of the great support we have from our community and is constantly evolving as new needs are presented to us. 

Locally, our students support many benevolent endeavors and are special supporters of the St. Vincent de Paul society.  Students fundraise, have clothing and food drives and experience a 20 Hour Fast to support the good work of the society.  The Food Bank, Terry Fox Society and local churches are also grateful recipients of the students’ volunteered efforts.

Academics

The results from the latest Fraser Institute’s “Report Card on Secondary Schools in British Columbia and Yukon” has rated our school as the top ranked school this side of the Fraser Valley.  The report is based on the 2006-07 results from Grade 10 Science, English and Mathematics, Grade 11 Social Studies and Grade 12 English.  The report gives a better academic picture, with the inclusion of exam results from three grade levels, providing a more complete picture of our school’s per­formance in academics.

The #1 ranking in the Okanagan Valley and the #15 ranking in the whole province is a tribute to the collective efforts of the students, staff, and parents at Immaculata.

In the recent UBC-Okanagan Math Contest, three of the top four places were secured by Immaculata students.  Richard Mack for the second year in a row won the competition (awarded a semester tuition scholarship) with Kristina Gasser and Shaina Jeon tying for third.  This is the second year in a row that Immaculata students 3 of the top 4 placings.

Athletics

The 2007-08 athletic season has been one of the best in school history. 

All of our senior teams qualified for provincial championships

in their respective sports.

The Senior Girls and Boys Basketball teams finished 2^nd and 4^th respectively at their provincial championships while the Senior Girls and Boys Volleyball teams finished 2^nd and 9^th.  The Golf, Senior Girls Soccer and Senior Boys Rugby teams will be competing at the provincials in the upcoming weeks.  These accomplishments are a direct result of the commitment and hard work shown by the student athletes and their coaches.  They could not have done what they have without the backing of their parents, teachers and fans who have supported them in so many ways.
