Why do parents send their children to Collingwood when there are a number of very good public schools in our area?
We do it because we all want the best for our children: the best programs; the best teachers; and the best facilities. We invest in Collingwood in order to prepare our children to optimize their potential and become well-rounded citizens of an increasingly competitive world. That's the common bond we all share as parents of Collingwood students.
Parents make it happen at Collingwood. That's part of the reason we were attracted to move to West Vancouver to become part of the Collingwood community. That's why we chose to get involved with Parent's Council and with the Board of Governors. It's also why we've contributed to the Capital Campaign, the Tartan Fund for small capital projects and will continue to support the Foundation in the future. We want to help build the best school possible.
The current Capital Campaign will result in Collingwood having one of the best new school facilities in western Canada. This will become a magnet to attract even more great teachers, and more like-minded families and, in turn, will result in even better programs and more support. This will also contribute to building our brand, which further attracts more people to want to be part of our community. It's a virtuous circle.
Your contribution is also an important message to your children. Things don't just happen. People make them happen. We're investing in our children's future to provide the best facilities possible and a legacy we can all be proud of.
We hope that everyone will take advantage of the opportunity to come in and meet to learn more about the campaign and how each of us can play our part in building our school. Thanks for your help.
