Lambrick Park Secondary School is a traditional four-year (grades 9-12) public secondary school located in Saanich, British Columbia, Canada.
The school is situated next to Lambrick Park, a Saanich park which is home to the Saanich Fusion FC soccer club (formerly the Gordon Head Soccer Association) and the Gordon Head Baseball Association. The school, part of Greater Victoria's School District 61, opened for the 1976-77 academic year and had its first graduates in 1978.
In addition to courses in English, mathematics, history, science and social studies, the school has programs in business and technical education, physical education, fine arts, computing and home economics. Lambrick Park offers four years of French and three years of Spanish instruction. School is in session from 8:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.; each class period is 65 minutes long, with five such periods daily Mondays through Thursdays. On Fridays, classes finish early at 1:45 p.m.; each class remains the same length, but the fourth period is gone, and only four class periods are taught.
There is a school concert choir and a chamber choir, led for many years by Karen Hughes, and a band program led by Bruce Ham, a math instructor who has taught at Lambrick Park since 1997.
The school also has an active athletic program, with sports including badminton, basketball, baseball, field hockey, golf, tennis, rowing, rugby, soccer, swimming and volleyball, as well as cross-country and track and field. As the school mascot is a lion, the sports teams are generally named either as the Lions or Pride.
Lambrick Park High School also hosts the Diamond for Excellence program. This academy provides on-the-field instruction in baseball and softball skills and in-the-classroom instruction in five specific areas intended to enhance student athletes' knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of the science of sport and training as it applies to baseball and softball.
Lambrick Park graduates have often been awarded scholarships to universities in British Columbia and elsewhere; for example, Garrett Smallpene 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 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.
