The Sentinel Sun

The moment pumpkins and skeletons are replaced by twinkling lights and our living rooms suddenly sprout Christmas trees marks not only a shift in the calendar, but also a shift in our lives. Still, every year it seems Christmas sneaks in just a little sooner. Walk into any store on November 1st, and you’ll hear Mariah Carey blasting through aisles adorned with elves and mistletoe where spiders and skeletons lived just hours earlier. While I love Christmas, I can’t help but wo

In the last three weeks, our school’s math enthusiasts put their problem-solving skills to the test in the first math competition season of the school year, which included three major competitions: the Canadian Open Mathematics Challenge (COMC), the American Mathematics Competition (AMC 10/12A), and the Canadian Intermediate Mathematics Contest (CIMC).

However, this doesn’t always go in my favour, as I find myself scrolling through Netflix, trying to find a show I will enjoy and seeing absolutely nothing there. With Netflix’s quality going down, my boredom has skyrocketed. Nevertheless, some films ar

“Didn’t he come out as gay?” Is what I heard from a friend in class, convinced after watching a TikTok of boxer and influencer Jake Paul, making a personal announcement.

In this year's iteration of Halloweek, the halls of Sentinel were turned into a blur of music, laughter, and the occasional scream. Organized by the student council, this week brought both students and teachers through events that ranged from lighthearted to downright scary! Halloweek ran from Monday through Friday and each event offered something unique that students could look forward to.  Halloweek started off with karaoke during lunch. Within minutes, the gym was packed.

On Sunday, October 5, the West Vancouver Community Centre was alive with the sights, sounds, and smells of autumn at the annual Pumpkin Fest, one of the community’s most beloved fall traditions. Thousands attended this year’s event, which featured a pumpkin patch, pony rides, farm animals, food trucks, and dozens of other family-friendly activities. Right in the middle of it all, our very own Sentinel Secondary Jazz B and Jazz A bands, conducted by our music director Mr. Zolt
