As we begin a new calendar year, I want to take a moment to celebrate the strong academic start our students have made across the school. The December Learning Updates reflected a strong commitment to learning and excellence.<\/span><\/p>\n I want to highlight our Grade 12 students in particular. Their December results were exceptional and speak to years of developing independence, effective work habits, and strong relationships with their teachers. Of our graduating class:<\/span><\/p>\n These outcomes are not accidental. They reflect sustained effort, thoughtful goal-setting, and students learning how to manage their time and learning\u2014skills that will serve them well beyond graduation. We are incredibly proud of this group and excited to see how they continue to build momentum as we move toward the final stretch of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n Equally important, these academic successes sit alongside a positive and vibrant school culture. December was filled with rich experiences that strengthened our sense of community. A few highlights are shared below.<\/span><\/p>\n As we move into January, we do so with pride in our students\u2019 academic achievements and appreciation for the many experiences that make Thomas Haney such a special place. Thank you to our staff, students, and families for continuing to make <\/span>community, connection, and learning<\/b> central to all that we do.<\/span><\/p>\n Here\u2019s to a strong start to 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n Warm regards,<\/span><\/p>\n Darren Rowell<\/span> ________<\/p>\n Peak Pod \u2013 Skating at Robson Square (Dec. 2)<\/b> Connections Program \u2013 Provincial Courts Field Trip (Dec. 3)<\/b> Student Voice Forum (Dec. 8)<\/b> Winter Band & Choir Concert (Dec. 9)<\/b> Robotics \u2013 Sumo Bot Championship (Dec. 9)<\/b> Fishing Club \u2013 Fraser Valley Hatchery (Dec. 9)<\/b> LAN Party \u2013 Tech Night (Dec. 10)<\/b> School-Wide GOAT (Dec. 16)<\/b> Board Game Night (Dec. 18)<\/b> Annual Hoe Down (Dec. 19) Basketball<\/b><\/p>\n The following list of Counsellors and Administrators and their grades are listed below:<\/span><\/p>\n\n

\n<\/span>Principal, Thomas Haney Secondary<\/span><\/p>\nDecember Highlights\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n
\n<\/b> Peak Pod students kicked off December with a West Coast classic – skating at Robson Square. This experience blended physical activity, social connection, and the simple joy of being active together in the heart of Vancouver.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/b> Our Connections students experienced learning beyond the classroom in a powerful way. Seventy-one students spent the day at the Provincial Courts in Vancouver, observing live cases, engaging with legal professionals, and deepening their understanding of the justice system. The day wrapped up with a shared pizza dinner at Me n\u2019 Ed\u2019s n- a fitting end to a meaningful and memorable experience. Our thanks to the staff who made this possible and to the students who represented THSS so well.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/b> Students met with Ms. Kania and Assistant Superintendent Ms. Schwarz to share feedback and perspectives about their school experience. These conversations are an important part of our ongoing commitment to listening to student voice and using it to inform growth and improvement.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/b> Under the leadership of Ms. Williams, our annual Winter Concert brought together elementary musicians, our Junior and Senior Bands, and Choir for an awesome evening of music. A special highlight was a student solo performance by Lance Wu. The concert was a wonderful celebration.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/b> The Math Great Hall was buzzing with excitement as students showcased their engineering and problem-solving skills during the Sumo Bot Championship. Designed and built in Robotics and Engineering classes, the competition highlighted creativity and innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/b> Our Fishing Club enjoyed a hands-on learning experience at the Fraser Valley Hatchery, connecting environmental stewardship with outdoor learning.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/b> Mr. Biggar and Mr. Goodman hosted the annual LAN Party, bringing tech students together for an evening that combined online games and community\u2014well into the night.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/b> A much-loved THSS tradition returned as students had the chance to take festive photos with a mini goat. One of those moments that captures the fun and uniqueness of our school culture – only at THSS.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/b> Another annual favourite, Board Game Night brought students together after school to connect, laugh, and unwind while playing their favourite games. Thanks to Mr. Goodman and Mr. Biggar for creating this welcoming space.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/b>December wrapped up with one of our most iconic events – the THSS Hoe Down. After weeks of practice in PE classes, the entire school came together in the gym for an afternoon of line dancing and celebration, led by our PE Leadership students. An epic, joyful way to head into winter break.<\/span><\/p>\nSchool Sports Updates<\/b><\/h2>\n
