Kezia Nathe Front Cover

Hilary Romans Back Cover

Retirement: No alarm clock, no commute, no deadlines, no stress, no money, no problem! - Anonymous

Seen it all. Done it all. Can’t remember most of it.—Anonymous I advise you to go on living solely to enrage those who are paying your annuities.—Voltaire Is wonderful if you have two essentials: much to live on and much to live for.—Anonymous

World’s longest coffeebreak.—Anonymous Don’t wait for retirement to be happy and really start living. Invariably, people who try this find out

that they have waited much too long.—(How to Retire Happy, Wild and Free)

Congratulations to Kezia Nathe (Grad 2009) and Hilary Romans (Grade 11) whose artwork was selected for this year’s agenda.

PARIS AND LONDON 2009 What an experience! With 28 students and 3 adults we explored

London, Bruge, and Paris in 10 days. Highlights included The London Tower, Shakespeares Globle Theatre, Westminster Abbey, Cambridge Theatre, Convent Gardens and Chicago the musical. We then headed to Bruge via the English Chunnel and enjoyed the picturesque city with chocolate and Beligum waffles and fries! We had a quick stop in Vimy Ridge before our arrival in the city of love, Paris. Paris was filled with cultural highlights such as Rue Cler, Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, Lou-vre, Montmartre, Champs Elysess, Arch de Triomphe and many of

Paris’ quarters. Our trip was filled with great memories, great food, great shopping and a great group of students. A big thanks to all the parents and guardians for allowing your son/daughter to experience the world and become cultured. We look forward to seeing you all

back next year as the Killarney Film and Theatre Dept experience the city on NEW YORK! For more information see Ms. Mattock in C105.

Wishing you all a relaxing summer break! Massimo Rocchetta and Kristin Mattock—Film and Drama Dept

JABC AWARDS PRESENTED TO GG GO GREEN... Junior Achievement of BC is pleased to announce “GG Go Green” has won the coveted 2009 CIBC Student Venture of the Year Award. This after-school program was staffed by students from Van-couver, Burnaby, Surrey and New Westminster. The group designated stainless steel water bottles to promote consumer awareness of envi-ronmental damage caused by plastic containers. “GG Go Green” took every opportunity to market their product in the community, with suc-cessful sales at the Vancouver Winter Market, Granville Island Public Market and Portobello West Fashion and Art Market. Members of “GG Go Green” chose to re-invest their salaries and com-missions back into “GG Go Green” to maximize both the return to their shareholders and the donation made to the charity “Friends of the Earth”. The group also took home the awards for Environmental Stewardship and Outstanding Shareholder’s Report. CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR KILLARNEY GO GREEN TEAM!
