This evening promised to be a "unique culinary experience". A 10 course meal, prepared in a HS kitchen by a former student and served in the HS cafeteria area. Our servers for the evening? Young men and ladies all students of the school. Upon arrival we found the area to be simply but tastefully decorated with black tablecloth and White tulip centerpieces. It looked as though they had rented chairs for the evening as well. . Chef Hiro is a 2003 graduate of JH (located in the Guildford area of Surrey). Over the last ten years he has created an impressive style of preparing and presenting food leaving the diner both awed and satisfied. With the help of staff and students Chef Hiro was able to present "Johnston Heights Past and Present: A Spring Exclusive Culinary Experience" on a beautiful evening in March. The evening started with a virgin Mojito. Mint made several appearances in the dishes that evening. The first dish, a cold appetizer was,"Atarashii" Nicoise Salad Confit Fingerling Potatoes, Seared Tuna, Arugula, Watercress, Snap Peas Miso, Soy and Sesame Vinagrette. The tuna was perfectly seared and we received what I thought were three large pieces of tuna.The sesame in the dressing really brought it together for me. I won't go through all the dishes just some of the standouts for me. Pan Seared Scallop Fennel and Orange Salad, Fennel Fronds, Pickled beets and Orange segments. Now usually I am not overly fond of citrus in my meal, but this was a subtle citrus flavouring that I really enjoyed. The scallops were the two perfect bites of heaven I had been waiting for since I RSVP'd to the event! A very colourful dish indeed. Fraser Valley Duck Duo. Pan-Roasted Breast, Duck Leg press, Crispy fruit and cinnamon bread pudding, baby carrots. One perfectly crispy not overly fatty slice of duck breast then the Duck Leg press that our servers informed us had taken four hours to cook!! It was served with a carrot and I am always interested to know how the carrots turn out and everyone agreed they were perfectly steamed. But who cares about the carrot when you are eating duck? The duck was succulent goodness!! As a Palate Cleanser we were brought a cup with Watermelon Consommé and Balsamic Pearls along with a small spoon. We were thoroughly enthralled by the fact we were enjoying little pearls of balsamic vinegar. Someone compared it to bubble tea, but the technique to make them must be something to see! The Savory Chévre Cheese Cake Apricot Gel, Fig Chutney was so rich and delicious. I am a big fan of goat cheese! This was a shared dish so I did the honour of cutting the chesse. The few sweet slices of toast that came with it were not enough but the vibrant colour from the splash of apricot gel was out of this world! (but for some reason I have no pic, darn). Finally we were treated to two types of dessert. The first was a Chocolate Ganache Tart with Smoked Walnuts and Raspberry Purée. Chef Hiro had used crystals of dehydrated raspberries (aka, raspberry dust) for colour and decorations and it was truly impressive! For a woman who loves chocolate I still have a hard time deciding which dessert was my favourite, especially because of the gorgeous ice plate the second dessert was presented on. The round one inch thick ice plate was carved with the schools mascot, an Aboriginal style eagle head. There was a small circle bore out to hold the strawberry peppercorn ice cream, with strawberry moscato granita and micro basil. http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/johnson-heights-high-school-surrey?select=gQFV8PTHgLsz4dPFYfuG3g#_Lj-POvdSAd0So8ipELYgw I could not leave without the plate and the friendly, knowledgeable server asked the Chef if I could take it home where it still sits in my freezer as a souvenir of the evening. I have to say. I arrived uncertain but left extremely satisfied. The student servers explained each dish and were sure to keep our water glasses full. Although sometimes we were short on cutlery their friendly, enthusiastic demeanor made it hard to point out any inconsistencies. Another highlight of the evening was the string band that entertained us with classical music. I think it lent a certain element of refinement to the evening! I am not sure who to thank for this lovely event. Chef Hiro and his kitchen team who made the delectable 10 course meal. My fellow foodie, Jenn for inviting me. The JH Leadership team for coordinating the evening. Our lovely servers who made sure we knew about everything on our plate. The talented musicians that entertained us through out the evening The guests we enjoyed our meal with and of course The school for hosting the event. Although this will likely be a one time event, I look forward to the next time a student comes to "give back" to their former HS. That may have been the sweetest part of the night!

They teach and grade just like they do in university/ college.

They have a lot of great missionary opportunities. And I really enjoyed being apart of them. I was able to help out people and learn about a new culture. I would recommend anyone to join this school. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be who I am today. Or have the great education I have now.

It had been a rather long while since I went up from Eastlake Drive for a look, and my reaction this time, was much the same as times before -- wow!! such a fantastic setting for a school!! I walked up from Eastlake Drive via the pedestrian walk / vehicle exit at Beaverbrook Drive, along the front, and ends of the school, and then walked back down to Eastlake Drive via the pedestrian walk / vehicle entrance at Centaurus Drive. I did not get a look at the back side of the school. The area out front -- between Eastlake Drive and the school itself -- is well-forested, making it very difficult to actually seeing the school from the street below, and especially so at this time, with all the trees and other vegetation, fully-leaved, and green. Such a lovely, natural setting!! The walkabout at 'Burnaby Mountain Secondary' was a much-enjoyed, diversion included in my walk this morning.

After two months we got a call for her to get into the top choice, but isn't there a better system than to clog student lists? Frustrating to say the least.

It is the first year the bulk of students homework is completed on the computer as well as most of the educational materials. In addition to these changes, there are also big changes in the faculty including the Principal and Vice Principal. To say that it a complicated year would be an understatement. Add to this the problems with social media and devices in the classrooms, the staff faces many hurdles that most of parents do see or hear of on a daily basis. Through these big change for the educators, staff, parents and especially student, I have been impressed that most things are going as well as they seem to be. I am pleased with the challenge and direction they are providing my child and we are doing our best to figure out the new tech issues right besides them. The school seem to be proactive in being inclusive and respectful. I hope this first semester is indicative of how the future of FMS will be.

If you have a child that needs a littke extra assistance in any way this school and staff are extremly ill equipt to handle it and instead of working with the family will dismiss your child feom their care without a second though to how it may affect the child mentally or emotionally. Their website claims to work very closly with the ministry of social development wjich is a lie. They dont communicate with them at all in order to gain valuable skills and knowledge to work with children who may have mental or social issues. I would never recommend this daycare to anyone unless they dont mind their children being disposable. They would rather get rid of them then put in any work just to fill seats
