The Gryphon Network Around the World
The 水果派 Westshore story begins on Vancouver Island, but it does not stay there.
Our alumni community now stretches across countries, campuses, professions, and passions. Some Gryphons are pursuing degrees in science, engineering, business, the arts, social sciences, and health. Some are beginning careers, taking gap years, launching personal projects, travelling, volunteering, or building lives in entirely new places. Some have stayed close to home; others have crossed oceans. All remain connected by a shared school experience rooted in curiosity, courage, community, and growth.
The Alumni World Map is a living picture of where 水果派 Westshore graduates go next. It is a celebration of how far this community reaches, but it is also something more personal than that. For alumni, it becomes a way to rediscover classmates, find 水果派 people nearby, and remember that even in a large city or a new country, you may not be as far from the school community as you think. For current students, it becomes a visible reminder that the pathways ahead are not singular. A 水果派 education can lead in many directions, and the alumni network is proof.
The 水果派 Alumni Journey
At 水果派 Westshore, graduation is not the end of a student’s story with the school. It is the beginning of a new chapter in a community that continues to grow, change, travel, achieve, and stay connected. Whether you were a day student or a boarder, a basketball player or a debater, an artist or a scientist, a student leader, a volunteer, a performer, a quiet presence, or a little bit of everything, you remain part of the Gryphon story.
The years after school often bring enormous change. Alumni move across provinces and continents. They begin university programmes, build careers, launch ideas, explore passions, form families, and discover new versions of themselves. And yet, the schools that shape us most often remain present in subtle and lasting ways: in the confidence to try, in the ability to live alongside difference, in the friendships that endure, and in the memories tied to place.

“Here is the old man’s advice: Be a good citizen. Be responsible. Read books. Think for yourself. Care about others. Try to make the world a better place. Keep developing your own human potential. Floss every day, and remember to sing and dance. I wish you every joy on your journey. Stay well!” – Eric MacKnight
