Head of English & Social Sciences
Student Events Coordinator
Ms. K. Van Puymbroeck B.A.
I believe in encouraging students to approach literature as a tool to help them empathize with others and understand the world around them in new and exciting ways. I was a Teaching, Research, and Professor's Assistant and use this experience to prepare my students for the reading and writing expectations at the university level. I have presented at national and international conferences and I encourage each student to develop and share their own ideas while in my classroom.
Math and Science
Mr. B. Newson B.A.
I have taught in university, high school, middle school, and kindergarten. Over the past 12 years, I have taught subjects including Maths, Sciences, and Engineering. I have also taught VEX robotics and refereed at the VEX robotic competitions at the University of Waterloo, and in my free time, I bike, read, and repair electronics.
Teacher Advisor
Mr. R. Madigan B.A.
“English is one of my favorite subjects to teach because it is one of the few subjects where you can be the creator.” Mr. Madigan is a very creative and engaging teacher and is often a favourite with the students, pushing them to reach their personal excellence.
Some say that he puts a lot of time and effort, most likely due to his warm and passionate heart! "When you start to unpack a story, movie, or a poem and you start to see their eyes open a little bit more, that's when you know you've got them!".
