Enrichments & Traditions

At GAA, we are proud of the many achievements of our students. Throughout the year, we plan curriculum‑based events that showcase their talents and accomplishments.

Full‑school participatory events include:

• Earth Day
• Remembrance Day
• Orange Shirt Day
• Arbour Arts 
• Ted-Ed Student Talks 
• Polar Expression Literary Coemption 
• Community service initiatives

We also place great value on building a joyful and connected school culture. Students look forward to community traditions such as:

• Movie Night
• Halloween Dance
• Pancake Breakfasts
• International Food Fair
• Annual Turkey Trot (fall)
• Christmas Concert
• Spring Concert
• Highlander Dash

In keeping with our values, the school maintains a no‑sell fundraising philosophy, encouraging students to contribute to their School community through service, awareness, and participation rather than product‑based fundraising.
