EDGE Leadership Programme:
Photo of Co-Ed Boarding School in Vancouver Island, BCEDGE stands for: Engagement of mind, body and spirit; Development of individuals; Gratitude that grows from awareness; and Experience, the most powerful teacher. This programme began as a Tsunami Re-building trip in the wake of the 2004 Tsunami in Thailand.

Out of this humanitarian outreach endeavour grew what is known today at Shawnigan as the EDGE Leadership Programme. To date, Shawnigan’s EDGE Leadership Programme has sent three teams to Thailand, one to Argentina and one to Laos.

Extra Curricular Sports and Fine Arts Programs:
Sports and Fine Arts are a mandatory part of the curriculum at Shawnigan. We believe that Fine Arts help to develop lifelong skills for students in drama, art, photography, sculpture, woodworking, dance, music, pottery, voice and community outreach, among others. One Fine Art, the Environment Club, has recently been augmented through the addition of our own salmon hatchery and on-site recycling and composting facilities.

Rugby and Rowing are a focus for boys and girls. Volleyball, field hockey, cross country, basketball, tennis, squash, soccer, swimming, and sailing are some of the other sports pursued. Shawnigan recognizes that students have different abilities, and we therefore offer various levels of competition. Shawnigan also has an active outdoor pursuits programme, which takes advantage of our natural surroundings through hiking, kayaking and camping.
