By Mr. M Wuerch – Luwan BC High School Principal
Every Spring grade 12 students, their parents and school staffs all over the world wait… . It is not an easy wait to be sure, but they have no choice. It is a time to be anxious, nervous, but still they have no choice, they wait…and wait… and wait…and then it happens! Finally! Universities start presenting offers for admissions to their institutions.
Each year Luwan British Columbia High School (LWBC) students, like students from around the world, worry about their admissions. And each year, Luwan students distinguish themselves and our school by receiving multiple offers from excellent universities in Canada and around the world. This year’s class of 2020 is no exception. As a matter of fact, this year’s grad class has distinguished itself by receiving more offers than any previous grad class. It is clearly a point of celebration and with it an acknowledgement of the quality of LWBC students.
