We Create Change

Hello Everyone!

We council is working with free the children on a campaign called We Create Change. This campaign will begin on the 19th of January and go on for 2 weeks. 

This school wide event is to raise money to provide goats for families overseas. We will be collecting donations on the 22nd and 23rd and we encourage all of you to donate a minimum of two dollars. We will be coming to classes and we'll have a booth by the caf at lunch. 

Please help provide families with nutritious milk and a sustainable income. This can help lessen poverty and empower communities.

We Scare Hunger

Burnaby South's We Council kickstarted the year with our first event We Scare Hunger. Millions around the world go hungry every day, even in our own backyard. This Halloween, we held a food drive at Burnaby South Secondary School. It was a competition between classes from Tuesday, October 14th to Friday, October 31st, to see which teacher had the greatest amount of non-perishable food items. South had raised an astounding 833lbs of food for our local community! Amazing job everyone, we have truly made a difference.

Teachers Got Talent

Janurary 31st and February 1st, 2013

Let’s face it: students have always thought of teachers as dull, lifeless adults. We think all they do is lecture about boring subjects; however, during lunch on Thursday, January 31st and Friday, February 1st, We Council brought out the fun sides of teachers with the event “Teachers Got Talent” in the Michael J. Fox Theatre. In celebration of freedom from  poverty, exploitation, and disease, We Council took this precious opportunity to shine light on these important issues and bring awareness to the organization Free the Children as well as all the empowering programs it initiates around the world to help those in need. In addition to introducing these topics to the student body, Teacher Got Talent also presented the humorous character of our wonderful teachers: Mr. Jack, Ms. Mounce, Ms. Slaney, Ms.Loo, Ms. D-C, Ms. DeAbreau, and Ms. Yan in team All Doubt; Mr. Kwan, Mr. Mckillop, Ms. Kong, Mr. Marzouk , Ms. Alex, and Ms. Alacorn in group Maroon π; Mr Chan, Mr. Lam, Ms, Samra, and Ms. Ghtaura in No Direction; and Ms. Chow, Mr. Lui, Ms. Wong, and Ms. Kikawa in Phun. By popularity, Phun’s performance was voted to be the best; however, all groups made the audience cheer until we lost our voices. The audience also loved “Rebel Style” with Mr. Lee, Mr. Chin, and South’s dance class; “Blackout” with South’s senior dance group; the dance presented by South’s very own dance crew, Adobo; and the Banghra dance featuring Mr. Li and South’s Banghra Club. In this event, these wonderful teachers and students volunteered their time to put together hilarious and awe-inspiring performances that made our stomachs hurt from laughing and our throats dry from cheering. Thanks to these fabulous teachers and students, the event was extremely successful, raising over $3000, and unforgettable. It was definitely a highlight in our high school experience! We love our teachers and our Rebel Spirit!
