In addition, the Alumni provide several generous scholarships to graduates attending post-secondary institutions. Our partnership with parents includes a Traditional School Council, Chinese Parents' Association and a Music Parents' Association. We are also fortunate to have a supportive community network which offers students COOP and volunteer opportunities.

Students can participate in art exhibits, drama productions, music concerts, science fairs, math and robotics competitions, sports, business and technological competitions. Other activities include the Environmental, Stage Crew, Newspaper and Yearbook clubs. At Agincourt we have over 50 clubs and councils.
Our Agincourt Athletic program boasts three seasons of competition. Lancers compete in basketball, volleyball, soccer, field hockey, golf, tennis, curling, cross country, rugby, and Ultimate Frisbee, and much more. For those who are less competitive minded, our Athletic Council offers many intramural opportunities for all our students.
WHAT SETS US APART
We are a desirable destination for students because of our strong reputation for high academic standards, combined with an inclusive and supportive environment that helps students of all backgrounds to succeed. Over 90 percent of our Grade 12 students advance to post-secondary education.
We also offer strong remedial programs for students who run into difficulties. Our student success initiatives identify students who are at risk, and staff work with the students to create a plan to help set goals and attain success.
At Agincourt, we are particularly proud of our Student Government. Students, through the Leadership Councils, participate in the development of school initiatives. Special leadership activities train our students to become active participants in both their school and their community at large.
Celebrating our students and recognizing student voice is a priority in our school. We celebrate student of the month selections. Many of our graduates receive post-secondary scholarships through the generosity of our community partnerships.
