Victor Mager School is a Kindergarten to Grade Eight school. Our small class
sizes make it easy for teachers to meet students’ needs and develop their
individual talents. We have a variety of extra-curricular activities,
specialized classes, community involvement and other programmes that make us who
we are!
Extra-curricular Activities
Some of the extra-curricular activities at Victor Mager are athletic, such as
basketball, badminton, volleyball, track, marathon, soccer and even skipping, to
name a few. We are proud of our Monarchs teams! Students can even join a
traditional drumming club, knitting club, the 'Signature' Musical Sign
Language Team and the 'Bouge' Physical Theatre Performance team to have fun and
get to know other kids at the school.
Special Classes
Besides regular academic classes, younger students get to take music class,
while students in middle years choose between art and guitar. They also enjoy
shops classes. Our grade eight students even learn about information and
computer technology. Meanwhile, the grade seven classes are also part of a
laptop initiative which helps them learn about computer safety and develop
skills necessary for their futures. We also have a really strong English as an
Additional Language program for students who are working on their English
language skills, like kids who are new to Canada.
Sense of Community
Our school takes pride in the local community which we show by coming out to
help with the community clean up, hosting a barbecue, putting on a Winter
Concert, hosting the FAST programme, doing activities with local seniors, and
participating in various charitable activities. Students also learn about the
Seven Teachings: we start with a drum feast in the fall and then invite
presenters from different cultures several times a year. Students also share in
the school community in several ways. For example, students from different
classes are paired up as a part of our reading buddy literacy programme. Some
students help out as patrols or student secretaries. Other students are also
trained as Mager Managers, special representatives who help students with
problems at recess time. This teaches them how to solve problems in a win/win
situation and become leaders in our community.
Other Programmes
One of the special programmes based in our school is the Boys and Girls Club.
Victor Mager School also has a breakfast and a supervised lunch program to keep
the students' minds nourished and ready to learn. There’s even a family center
that helps the younger kids and parents make new friends as well as
helps pre-school kids get ready for kindergarten.
With all
of these valuable resources and our strong sense of community, “Together We’re
Better!”
