Robert Cecil Palmer Secondary School is a secondary school located in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada which educates students in grades 8-12.
Soccer Academy
The school hosts a district-wide Soccer Academy for student-athletes to obtain a high-level of soccer training while completing their high school education.
Basketball Program
The school also hosts a basketball program for students in grade 9-10. It replaces the regular P.E. with an all basketball program. The basketball program is taught by P. Eberhardt and teaches each athlete fundamentals, tricks, and plays.
Robotics Club
M. Clift, the teacher for CADD, hosts the Robotics and Engineering Club. This club's speciality is creating combat robots, similar to the ones used in Robot Wars. The members take part in various competitions, including international ones in Seattle. Weekly competitions are also held between members.
Vandalism
Widespread vandalism can be found in the school's toilets. It is usually a swastika and a message, telling the Chinese people to go back to China, suggesting the work of an individual or a small group. Impudents would also take out toilet rolls and drop it in the bowls and various other acts of misconduct. Recently, on January 31, 2007, one of the boy's washrooms has to be closed down, as a result of a trash can being set on fire. Disciplinary action has not solved this troubling phenomenon. Also there was a swastika drawn repeatedly on the door of the janitor's office. And there were swastikas found all over the school.
