Our 2025-2026 Admissions Ambassador Team
Ava, a Grade 12 Admissions Ambassador Captain, joined Collingwood in Grade 6 and has been part of the Admissions team since Grade 8. Over the years, she has grown into a responsible leader and has loved working alongside the rest of the Ambassador team. Her favourite part of the role is meeting prospective families and showing them the areas of the school that match their interests, introducing them to the many micro-communities that make Collingwood special. When she is not touring families, she is busy with her other passions as Model UN President, founder of French Club and History Club, director of Film Club, member of Senior Dance Company, and an actor in each school play. Although she is sad that this is her last year with the Ambassadors, Ava is excited to make the most of it and leave the team in great hands.

I’m a Grade 10 student and Admissions Ambassador Captain at Collingwood, and I’ve been here since Grade 8. I first came to Collingwood when my family moved to West Vancouver, and I didn’t know anyone. It was a big change, but I felt welcomed almost right away, made some amazing friendships, and quickly felt like I belonged. One of the things I love most about Collingwood is that I don’t feel like I have to choose between the arts and sports. Both are really important to me, and I think it’s really special that Collingwood encourages us to be well-rounded. You can be an athlete and an artist, be a leader, and explore different interests without feeling like you have to fit into just one box. Acting and writing are two of my biggest passions. Outside of school, I work professionally as an actor and have been lucky enough to have roles in well-known television and film productions. At Collingwood, I’ve been involved in every school play since I started, and because I’m also really interested in filmmaking, I’m hoping to get involved with our Film Club this year too. I’m just as passionate about sports. I play volleyball for both Collingwood and my club team, as well as soccer and track. I also volunteer at a seniors’ home, which has given me another way to be involved outside of school. Being an Admissions Ambassador is especially meaningful to me because I remember what it felt like to walk into Collingwood in Grade 8 not knowing anyone. Now I get to welcome new students and families, answer their questions, and hopefully help them feel that same sense of belonging. Collingwood has given me a place where I can be an artist, an athlete, a leader and a friend, and I’m really proud to represent our school.
Our Grade 12 Admissions Ambassadors are dedicated senior leaders who represent the spirit and values of our school. As the face of the student community, they play an essential role in welcoming prospective students and families through campus tours, presentations, and school events. These ambassadors share their personal experiences, highlight academic and extracurricular opportunities, and help visitors gain an authentic understanding of student life. Beyond guiding tours, they serve as mentors and role models for younger students, fostering a sense of pride, belonging, and leadership across the school community. Their enthusiasm, professionalism, and commitment make them an invaluable part of the Admissions Team.
