Principal’s Message

St. Andrew’s is a wonderful school community of 180 students and 25 staff in East Vancouver. Nurtured by our Pastor, Father Salvador (Jun) Reyes, we are sustained by a parish community that comes together to form the St. Andrew’s school family. We are proud of the fact that we have numerous parents that are alumni who are excited to have their children attend the school and share in the same outstanding educational experience that they remember having.

Our Archdiocesan Theme this year, “Living, Celebrating, and Proclaiming our Faith” is a central focus for us. As a school, we are exploring the many ways we proclaim our faith to each other, to our school and parish community, and to our wider community as well. The word “proclaim” comes from the Latin “proclamare” meaning “to cry out” or “to shout forth.” In our Christian lives, we are called to proclaim not only with our voices, but with our actions, relationships, and daily presence. We are each unique and called to let God’s light shine through our lives and actions to those around us in compassion and love.

We are truly blessed to be a part of the St. Andrew’s Community. We look forward to welcoming your children and nurturing their spiritual, social, emotional, academic and physical development. Just as in a family, we may have different roles, we come together as parents, educators, and parishioners to form a team working together to support all our children in reaching their full potential. Let us journey together to continue making St. Andrew’s a welcoming, safe, and supportive family community for our children to learn, grown, play, and pray.
