At PMA, we believe that learning goes beyond the classroom - and that’s exactly what our Co-Curricular Readers’ Theatre is all about!

From acting and reading to diving into the world of literature, our students are not only honing their performance skills but also exploring the depths of storytelling.

A trip to Whistler never disappoints!

This time, it was all about ice skating in the heart of town, surrounded by stunning mountain views, and even better, amazing friends✨

For some, it was just another day on the ice, but for others, it was their very first time! The perfect day to try something new⛸️

Stepping into the past to understand the present!

PMA students had the unique opportunity to explore the historic Chinese family association halls of Vancouver’s Chinatown. These spaces have long been pillars of the community, offering support and connection to Chinese immigrants facing systemic barriers in early 20th-century British Columbia.

With as our guide, we learned how these associations helped Chinese Canadians navigate exclusionary laws, employment discrimination, and housing restrictions. We also had the privilege of watching society members play mahjong, a traditional game that remains a cornerstone of social life.

Experiencing these stories firsthand deepened our understanding of the struggles and resilience that have shaped Chinatown’s history. 🀄✨

Science in action! 🧪

Our students brought chemistry to life with the Iodine Clock Reaction experiment!

By exploring how concentration affects reaction rates, they connected textbook learning to hands-on discovery. Learning is best when you can see it happen right before your eyes!
