Yesterday, grade 4-6 VPPS students watched a performance by Roseneath Theatre called La Maleta. The school performance included a talkback session between students and the artists of the play.
The theme of the performance included Empathy, Respect, Integrity, Immigration, Imagination, Bullying, and English Language Learners.
We would like to thank all grade 4-6 students for participating in this special event at VPPS!

Recycling batteries is very important as batteries contain various heavy metals such as nickel, zinc, lead, mercury, lithium, cobalt, and cadmium. Recycling allows materials to be recovered, reused, and disposed of properly, keeping these hazardous materials out of landfill.
Bring all your used batteries to school and drop off outside room 111 for recycling.
Let’s all work together to help our planet!
Today, we held our first Lockdown Drill of the school year. A lockdown is a school emergency response to the presence or suspected presence of an armed intruder or other similar violent threat within the school. It is a Ministry requirement that we practice lockdown drills at least twice each year.
During a lockdown drill, all staff and students will be notified that we are conducting a lockdown drill. Staff will ensure that all students and staff are in a secure area behind a locked door (e.g. classroom). Lights will be turned off, windows will be covered and students will be directed to an area away from doors and windows. Students are directed to be silent until the drill ends. Cell phones are not permitted to be used.
The purpose of the drill is not to scare students, but to be prepared in the event that an actual emergency were to happen. Teachers will prepare students before the drill happens and debrief afterwards. You may wish to discuss the lockdown drill with your child and reassure them that school is a safe place but that we need to practice in case an emergency were to happen.
We would like to thank all students and staff for a very successful lockdown drill,
Everyone did an excellent job and we should all be very proud!
