Mr. Bruce Filsinger, Principal Mr. David Baldasso, Vice Principal Ms. Kirsten Farquhar, Vice Principal
Principal’s Message The month of June is always filled with exciting celebration
activities as the school year draws to a close. As a school
community, Elgin Park has so much to be proud of; the talents and
successes of our students in academics, athletics, fine arts, and
service.
At this point in the year I want to recognize the staff of Elgin Park.
Their dedication to students, participation and sponsorship of
academics, fine arts, athletics and a wide variety of students’
activities takes them above and beyond on a regular basis and helps
to make Elgin Park a special place. We truly appreciate their hard
work and dedication.
The Commencement Ceremony took place at the Chandos Pattison
Auditorium on June 2nd. It was an outstanding evening which
recognized the Class of 2014 for all their accomplishments and
contributions to our school. Special thanks to the office staff and
teachers who organized this event. A complete list of scholarship
and bursary recipients is included in this newsletter.
The Grade 12 Dinner/Dance was held June 6th at the Sheraton Wall
Centre where 610 glamorous students, parents and staff celebrated
this milestone event. It was a very memorable evening in a
fantastic setting with great food and company. The Dry Grad
immediately followed and was a tremendous success with 260
graduates taking part. Students enjoyed dancing, karaoke, laser tag
and had a chance to play some black jack until the wee hours of the
morning. I would like to thank the Dry Grad Committee who
worked so hard for another hugely successful event.
We should give a big thank-you to all of the coaches at EPS who do
such a tremendous job in providing service to our athletic program
throughout the year. With their dedication and commitment, our
students have the opportunity to participate and develop the
qualities of sportsmanship, fair play and teamwork that are so
valuable in life.
Thank you to the Student Council Executive and members for
2013/14, Levi Chapman, Jennifer Shen, Casey Callaghan, Alisha
Anand, Gavin Li, Vannie Hong, Robert Zhang, Cassidy Poulton,
Jose Villagra, Emily Topolnisky, Lauren Fisher, Taran Bains,
Conor Doherty and Emerson Mohr. They have demonstrated
leadership and commitment to the school for their endeavors this
year.
We are also saying farewell and thank you to Ms. Fraser and Ms.
Lantinga, who will be retiring at the end of the school year. I
would like to thank them for their wonderful service that they have
provided to the Elgin Park community.
Parents, staff and students will miss their caring nature, dedication
and professionalism. They have been active school leaders and
mainstays at Elgin Park and will be truly missed. We wish them
well as they pursue new directions and thank them for the gift that
they have given our students at Elgin Park.
Finally, I would like to recognize the leadership of our Grade 12
students and thank them for the many contributions they have
made to the school over the past five years. We wish you success,
opportunity and courage, to face the changes and challenges that
will occur in your lifetime. Although we say farewell, we give
thanks for your support of the school and your pride and
accomplishments. Class of 2014 – stand tall, set your goals high
and remember to treat each new challenge as a turnaround, not as
a dead-end and don’t be afraid to follow the path to your dreams.
On behalf of all of us at Elgin Park, I wish everyone a successful
year-end and a great summer holiday.
Mr. Bruce Filsinger, Principal
