Description

Sir Charles Tupper Secondary School is a public secondary school located in central Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is named after Sir Charles Tupper, the Prime Minister of Canada from May 1, 1896 to July 8, 1896.HistorySir Charles Tupper Secondary School was established in 1959, starting with grades 7, 8, and 9. Grades 10, 11, and 12 were eventually included and grade 7 removed (secondary school in Vancouver most commonly starts in the 8th grade, with elementary school covering kindergarten to grade 7). Tupper currently has a student population of approximately one thousand. It recently celebrated its 50th Anniversary on September 29, 2009 with hosts Friends of Tupper Fund.In 2001, the school introduced a mini school program focusing on accelerated studies for mathematics and sciences in junior grades, allowing students in senior grades to specialize in senior sciences courses in greater scope or to pursue arts and humanities courses in greater depth, as well as additional extracurricular and activities to promote leadership in the community. Mini school students remain together for academic classes (English, Math, Social Studies, and Science) and are integrated with the rest of the students for remaining subjects.In November 2003, a 17-year-old student was murdered on the school property outside school hours. A five year long beautification project that involved working with the community to create a "peace garden" next to the school was completed in 2008. The past decade has seen the culture of the school change dramatically, with teachers and students working towards an atmosphere of tolerance, and embracing the new school code of conduct which advocates respect, ownership, attitude, responsibility, and safety.
