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.

Famous quotes containing the words student, academic and/or performance:
“But suppose, asks the student of the professor, we follow all your structural rules for writing, what about that “something else” that brings the book alive? What is the formula for that? The formula for that is not included in the curriculum.”
—Fannie Hurst (1889–1968)
“If twins are believed to be less intelligent as a class than single-born children, it is not surprising that many times they are also seen as ripe for social and academic problems in school. No one knows the extent to which these kind of attitudes affect the behavior of multiples in school, and virtually nothing is known from a research point of view about social behavior of twins over the age of six or seven, because this hasn’t been studied either.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
“There are people who think that wrestling is an ignoble sport. Wrestling is not sport, it is a spectacle, and it is no more ignoble to attend a wrestled performance of suffering than a performance of the sorrows of Arnolphe or Andromaque.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
