A number of opportunities exist outside of Argyle for students to broaden their educational experience. As we receive information regarding these programs, we will post it here. Students are encouraged to check this site regularly for updates. Many of these have a separate application procedure; a few are administered through Argyle. Please contact the appropriate agency directly as described below or see your Grade Counsellor for more details.

Students in Grades 10 - 12 considering Post Secondary: One of the best ways to learn more about life after high school and why you might consider post-secondary is to experience it in person.

Check out the events listings on postsecondarybc.ca/ and find out about campus tours on the institution pages. Spring break is a great time to visit campus. 

NV Constituency Youth Council

The office of the Member of Parliament for North Vancouver would like to offer an opportunity for interested students and youth between the ages of 15 and 24 to participate in Jonathan Wilkinson’s Constituency Virtual Youth Council. This is an opportunity for youth to engage in the political process and share their thoughts on ongoing issues and decisions made at the federal level. It also gives our elected representative a chance to better understand the concerns of youth in our community and to fully represent the residents of North Vancouver.
