Wendy Milne joined the Shawnigan Lake School staff in 1997 after completing her B.Sc. in Mathematics and Geography at Trent University and her B.Ed. at the Intermediate-Senior level through the Trent-Queen’s Concurrent Education Program. After 15 summers attending and working at YMCA Camp PineCrest in Muskoka Ontario, making the move to the boarding environment was a quick transition, and the best decision she could have made for her career. Her move to BC was supposed to be for only one year, but when she settled into the School, she quickly wanted to stay. In addition to continuing with her passion as a mathematics teacher, Wendy has been a House Director, the Registrar, the Dean of Academics and is now the Assistant Head – Academics. Since her arrival 20 years ago, Wendy has also been able to be involved with rowing, outdoors, the Yearbook, and organized the School’s annual Ski Week for 15 years. Now living just off campus with her husband, Wendy’s life and career have been significantly impacted by Shawnigan and being able to work with such an amazing group of students and staff has been a privilege. Her latest projects has been to finish her Masters of Education in Educational Leadership at VIU, a program that she draws from in her role as Assistant Head - Academics and complete a Change Project through the CAIS Next Steps Leadership Program. These are exciting times in education, and as Shawnigan comes away from its Centenary celebrations, Wendy is working with her faculty to lead the evolution of the Shawnigan curriculum for the next 100 years.
