^yeah I heard about something like that. How Provincial Exams aren't required now.

Total BS. I remember studying my ass off for 6 provincials back then in 2003 hahaha

its only english 12 now that provincials are required all the rest are optional

^ It's always been like that, but I thought I heard something about people not needing to write other Provincials, even if applying for University.

^I think in the past, you need to write the provincial for your courses to get in/apply for university.

Now you can apply/get in with just final exam(s) + english provincial

lol van tech is still hurt. all the gangsta kids that get kicked out goes there.

windermere was pretty bad too but the principal locked shit down son

i which east van public high school has the hottest jbs?

haha i remember in grade 8 at glad was chillin in the caff having lunch saw some dude stab another guy with a pen in the neck and take off......blood everywhere haha good times

Mrs Savage, Allison, Laura white, who was the other one? because Mrs Greer had cancer and ended up retiring, rip to all of them

^mrs. greer taught at killarney didn't she? I'm pretty sure it's the same lady. Did she pass away?

yeap..it's optional now for applying to university (they might still need english 12). This used to be the case if you just wanted to graduate HS

what a fucking joke, i blame our provincial govt once again. It's the reason for the overinflated admission grades.

mrs greer is the bitchy librarian now

It was Mr.Savage...
And I think Ms. Dreger, the band teacher, ended up passing away too.

last mainstream school i went to was DT
lol anyone here ever go to Point Grey?

^filled with mainlanders now

DT Grad 05 .. Cheya!

yeah that's the list. allison, laura and mr. savage and ms. dreger

what year were you two?

Thinking back to my highschool days (which wasn't long ago; grad of 08) I now realize how almost every year, someone I made contact with in school passed away. Gr.8 was my counselor Ms. Dedijer (sp?), gr.9 was my band teacher Mrs. Dreger, and gr.10 was a close friend of mine. Not long after grad, a fellow classmate passed away as well. Weird :(

Someone in my sister's grade had passed away too (this was after I left).. I think maybe around 2007. Then there's Doug Drummond (former Burnaby mayor and math teacher) who passed away in 2006, and a fairly recent vice principal who passed away after he had a heart attack jogging or something..Can't remember his name. The latter two had already left and retired, but still :/

Yes, forgot about Mr. Drummond. Had him for Math 9. He would sometimes leave the room part way through class haha
