What's Happening in the Valley!

Headmaster's Message:

Dear Old Sedberghians,

Well, here we are in our 71st year, how I wish I was a student at Sedbergh now! blair family

As you may know, Tony Vintcent will be retiring this Thanksgiving after many decades of dedicated, enthusiastic support of Sedbergh School. Over the last two years, Tony has been of particular help to me, as he is the only current staff member who has a connection to Sedbergh's past and active communication with Alumni. In order for me to maintain the level of communication Tony established, I am looking to establish regional centers across Canada as well as two international centers to create active communication between past graduates of Sedbergh.

Sedbergh's Huts Program

Sedbergh School boasts an elaborate Outdoor Education program providing the opportunity for both staff and students alike to take on a personal challenge while experiencing the natural beauty of our environment. The key to Outdoor Education at Sedbergh is that students have fun while acquiring outdoor skills and developing self-confidence, perseverance, tolerance and self-esteem. The main goals of the OE program at Sedbergh are:

instil in students, personal awareness and self-care skills
teach safety and technical skills
equip students with an awareness of and respect for the environment

Saying Farwell to Tony Vintcent

Walking into Mr. Vintcent's office is like entering a history archive; the walls covered in papers and mementos, shelves packed with boxes and envelopes. His time here has clearly been eventfu Tony l.

In the middle of the office sits Mr. Vintcent himself, pecking away on his keyboard. It feels almost as though I am witnessing a king in his own realm. This impression is not that far away from the actual truth - Mr. Vintcent has spent 28 years of his life at Sedbergh, which enabled him the opportunity to view the school from many perspectives. He has the insight of a Student, a Teacher, a Deputy Headmaster, and an Alumni Director, each holding a special place in his memory.
