Student Academic Performance
Lambrick Park graduates have often been awarded scholarships to universities in British Columbia and elsewhere; for example, Garrett Greenwood was chosen as the recipient of the $1,000 Rose Lenser science scholarship in 2010. In addition, outstanding graduates have received prestigious B.C.- and Canada-wide awards. In 2007 Matthew Siemens received the British Columbia Premier's Award, and Alejandro Dau received the Governor General's Bronze Medal. In 2008 Jinru (James) Yang won both the University of Toronto National Book Award and the BC Innovation Council Science Achievement Award. In 2009 a second Lambrick Park student, Teresa Roney, once again earned the Governor General's Bronze Medal; the Bronze Medal in 2010 was shared by Lisa Harris and Angela Harris.
