McNair Student:

Vicky Nguyen was one of the few students from British Columbia chosen to present at the highly selective Global Health Leaders Conference at John Hopkins University this year. At this program, emerging global health leaders in grades 9-12 from around the world learned from one another and some of the world’s leaders in global health and medicine. In addition to Vicky, other speakers at the conference included Nobel Laureates, world-renowned professors, humanitarians, researchers, and physicians.

In a letter to the school, the organizers sincerely thanked “Matthew McNair Secondary School and community for nurturing future leaders in global health and medicine. Vicky wonderfully represented Matthew McNair Secondary School and Canada in our program.”

The team ended up with a 4th place finish in the Provincial Championships in Abbotsford.

The coaches Chris Banks and Dave Wallace were extremely proud of not only the team's winnings but, more importantly, how these young adults conducted themselves on the field; their hard work and team spirit were commendable as they positively represented themselves and the school.
