Field Trips & Activities
During this semester, our students have enjoyed several field trips and activities.
Vancouver Aquarium Field Trip
On May 29, students visited the Vancouver Aquarium. The aquarium offers many learning opportunities for students interested in getting involved. We would be very proud to see PHS students building careers in marine biology.

Economics 12 Field Trip
A full day packed with games, karaoke and group activities related to subjects like scarcity, choice, benefits or opportunity costs let Economics come alive. By using the Common Sense Way, the presenters Julie Walton and Dirk Mateer showed the students why people choose, why incentives matters and why there is no such thing as free lunch. The benefits? Lots of information, lots of fun, lots of food and a great day with our Pattison School students.

School can be so much fun! In Mr. William’s class you can be sure that there is always something going on. This semester our students learned, for example, about Newton’s law of Viscosity by doing a cornstarch experiment. Furthermore, they learned about Aerodynamics by making Skyhawk and the highlight for most of the students was studying vocabulary words of phase changes by making ice cream in class!

Vancouver, Canada, Grade 11I have been studying at Pattison School for a year. It has been a great experience. Teachers are really nice and dedicated. Students are also nice and friendly and I have learned a lot about different cultures. Attending Pattison School made me stop hating school and start liking studying. I’m really happy and grateful that I was able to attend Pattison School and enjoy my high school years.
