Highlights at St. B
The biggest highlight to me was all of the people I got to know there – both my friends and classmates as well as the staff. My Global Issues class project, the grade 11 Canoe Trip, our grade 12 “Monster Mash” performance for our TA, and the graduation dinner all stand out to me as favourite memories. Some other highlights include playing Monopoly in Accounting class, our projects in Chemistry on redox reactions, playing court ball, frisbee golf, and omnikin during Mr. Scott’s Gym classes, and the St. B spirit days and retreats. I also can’t go without mentioning the fact that I was able to take grade 12 Accounting despite it taking place during my Physics class (thanks so much, Ms. Olson!!)”.
How St. B shaped her
At St. B, I was able to grow my confidence in an encouraging environment. I went from being terrified to speak in grade 9 Oral Communications class, to being able to give presentations confidently in my Chemistry and Global Issues classes in grade 12. Seeing the kindness of the people around me helped me to focus on caring for others, as well as the environment. Learning about the issues people from around the world face and have faced in the past in my History and Global Issues classes helped me to develop an empathetic understanding of those around me. Additionally, I learned in Global Issues and Geology about our impacts on the environment, which has encouraged me to do what I can to reduce my impact. Finally, I was able to grow academically. St. B gave me the knowledge and helped me to develop my study skills so that I could successfully start university after graduation. All my teachers during my time there helped to encourage and inspire me to learn.
Currently

Highlights at St. B
Most of my highlights come from the sports atmosphere that has been built at St.b. Being able to play on a variety of sports teams, spend your lunches at intramurals and to make so many friends during that time, was something I had not experienced before attending St. B. From playing in front of the school during our homecoming games, to representing St. B at the annual track and field or badminton tournaments, it was always a highlight for me to take part in all these events and more. Intramurals were always a blast as well, from floor hockey to spike ball and even tchoukball! It was always a great time and definitely in my St. B highlight reel. Sports played a huge role during my time at St. B as well as many other activities , which really showcased how great the sports programs are.
Favorite memory at St. B
A favorite memory of mine would definitely be winning both grade wars and TA wars during my senior year. Competing with your classmates from another TA for the yearend pizza party during regular dress up days and intramurals was always very competitive. Being in the many intramural finals was always a very exciting yet competitive time especially in our senior year, and when you finally win that after all your hard work it’s an even greater feeling. But after that was all done, we focused on grade wars where we all came together to win that year’s trophy in a nail-biting final race and we made sure to let the whole school know through our hallway chants and songs that were played from our speakers.
How St. B shaped him
St. B helped shape me in a variety of ways from turning me into a more sociable and active person but also helped me value my close friendship. The teachers and staff were always willing to talk and that helped me personally find my voice and helped me be more willing to speak up both in and out of class. As mentioned before I greatly value the sports programs at St. B and the people who run it have had an impact on my life for sure. To this day I am active in sports and staying fit and I don’t think I would be here without the push and knowledge given to me by my teachers and coaches. Finally, St. B has helped me maintain many close friendships that to this day I hold dear. The close-knit community that’s created, not only throughout the school but your very own grade, is really one of a kind. I thank St. B for showing me the value of holding these people close as I am still benefiting from that to this day.
Currently

"St. B is an amazing community of people who genuinely want you the best for you. The faculty and students are extremely kind and caring which brings a healthy environment to grow. I will never stop appreciating St. B for giving me the foundation I need to succeed."
- Michael Krawchuk
My Overall experience with St. B is that the staff are so approachable. There is small school community so you are able to get to know everyone. I have a large group of friends that are attending the University of Manitoba, who I talk to all the time. I was really involved with everything at St. B. and I have great memories from it.
Co-Curricular Highlights
I was involved with the Recruitment Team in grades 10-12. I played volleyball and track from grades 9-12. I was on the Popcorn Guild for grade 11, which help raise money for different school events. In my grade 11 and 12 years, I was the Premiere for my Teacher Advisory Class. I was fully involved in the intramural sports that our school offered every lunch hour.
Best Advice for a New Student
Fight through the stress and be involved as much as you can. School is fun and rewarding. Be yourself, St. B. is a place you can.

Graduated from SBDHS in 2015 with Honors!
My name is Jeylyn Sarmiento, and I attended St. B from grade 9 -12, graduating in 2015. I have nothing but positive memories from my high school years and have formed many relationships at St. B that I still have to this day. The St. B community and the staff do a great job preparing their students for university while also serving as a strong support system even after graduation. I had so much fun throughout my high school years, while still being provided with a strong academic foundation, which primarily has to do with the teachers I had as well as the opportunities I was able to explore during my time here. I will always cherish and appreciate all the memories I have made at St. B.
Co-curricular highlights
I was very involved in the athletics program. I played volleyball, basketball, badminton, soccer, track & field, and competed in dragon boat throughout high school. I also participated in the 2014 & 2015 MHSAA badminton provincial championships and the 2014 MHSAA soccer provincial championships. Through dragon boat, I also fundraised more than $1,700 for the Canadian Cancer Society. Occasionally, I would also help with JV girls’ basketball practices too. I enjoyed being an active member of the St. B community and being involved as much as I could.
Proudest moment at SBDHS
My proudest moment at St. B was being named MHSAA ‘AAA’ Jostens Athlete of the Year in 2015. I was delighted and honoured to be the first and only student to win this prestigious award in St. B history. I was glad that I was able to be recognized for all my work in sports as well as being able to bring additional recognition to the school and to the St. B athletic department.
