Woodwinds Teacher: Phyllis Kenney

Coming soon Phyllis's Description.

Woodwinds Teacher: Richard Graves

Woodwinds Youth Care Worker: Lou Barnum

I am interested in helping students be successful in their goals and interests. This can be in many areas, some as basic as finding a safe place to live, looking for a job, setting goals, learning how to communicate with people, or have good solid friendships. I enjoy doing outdoor activities and fieldtrips, cooking, sewing, art and assisting in academics.

Woodwinds Youth Care Worker: Rob Daniells

Rob has been associated with teens since 1971, when he started working in a crisis center in New Westminster, at the same time as attending SFU. He helped raise a family of three, and decided to get a teaching certificate from UBC and in 1983 did his practicum in SD 69. He switched over to being a youth worker in 1991, and has been working at Woodwinds since 1998, enjoying every moment of it.

He enjoys the challenge.

Rob also drives the school bus on field trips, and enjoys spending time in the art room with Laurie, or the woodshop with Richard.

His passion is travel, and strongly believes that traveling and the rewards that come through travel and cross-cultural exchanges is a great way to round off ones education. To quote a well-used expression, "It's not the destination, but the journey that counts". His other main interests are his family, music and photography.

Friends, family, and Love are important in the game of life...in memory of KHJ

PASS Teacher: Jane Good

Jane is a proud and happy member of the PASS staff. She wears lots of different hats at PASS; some are larger than others. One of her main roles in the school is assisting new students in their program design, helping them decide which courses to take when, and offering assistance in career planning. Jane teaches English 9, 10, Communications 11 and Information Technology 11. A highlight of the school year for Jane is planning for the annual PASS Grad - a true celebration of hard work, achievement and a fond farewell to students from this wonderful school. PASS rocks!

PASS and Woodwinds Teacher: Laurie Broadhurst

Laurie has enjoyed the special atmosphere of teaching at the Alternate School for more than eight years. Her favourite part of the day is teaching Art to students in both Woodwinds and PASS. The art room is always a beehive of activity with drawing, painting, claywork and a number of other special activities taking place. The room is the center of celebrations just before the Christmas holiday when it is decorated and turned into a dining room for the annual Hoiday Dinners. In addition to Art, Laurie currently teaches Career and Personal Planning 11 and Communications 12.

PASS Youth Care Worker: Charlotte Carey

Charlotte believes that the best teaching for students is to share what you are passionate about learning yourself. Charlotte is passionate about cooking, gardening, pottery, patchwork quilts, rug hooking, weaving and spinning and learning to play her guitar and dulcimer. She is very grateful to be in a school where she has a chance to get to know so many lovely people. The students here continue to amaze and inspire her.
