Now in grade 10 at West Point Grey Academy, Juliette has been involved with the Lyceum in some form or another since before she can remember. She loves everything about it: the atmosphere, the sense of community, and the experience she has gained from growing up there. Alongside writing and arts and crafts, Juliette loves to spend time with her friends and cats, enjoy the outdoors, and go thrift shopping! She is looking forward to another year as a volunteer to connect with students, hoping they grow to love the Lyceum as much as she does.

A grade 10 student at Lord Byng, she has been coming to the Lyceum for as long as she could remember. Now as a volunteer of 3 years, she is elated to be contributing to her community in this way. She loves sharing her love of writing & connecting with students at the Lyceum. Outside of the Lyceum, Marie can be found spending her time traveling, hiking, spending countless hours fixated on Model UN, or cramming homework of course.

Laelia is a student in grade 10 attending U-hill Secondary. She has been going to the Lyceum since about five years old for occasional camps, and started volunteering in grade 8. 

Out of her many hobbies, crocheting, baking, reading, and drawing, are definitely her favourites, even recently creating an art account on social media to share her progress. Although her math and science aren’t her strongest suit, Laelia hopes to become a nurse one day.

Nevertheless, in the future, Grisha aspires to become a pediatrician in order to continue her work with children. 

Hi I'm Lane and I am a grade 10 student at Sir Winston Churchill. I have been Volunteering at the Lyceum for about a year and it's been one of my favourite places to volunteer. All the staff and volunteers are super nice and it's been great meeting everyone. In my free time I enjoy walking around Vancouver with my friends, playing piano and making art. 

Navya is a grade 10 student, currently attending Prince Of Wales Mini School. She has been with the Lyceum for ten years, starting as a student in our Writers’ Workshops and she has been volunteering for 4 years. She loves Kitsilano, spending time with her family, both in India and Canada, as well as writing and working with kids! She believes that volunteering at the Lyceum has been a fantastic experience and feels that she has been able to change and learn so much from the students at the lyceum. She looks forward to growing with the Lyceum by sharing her experiences with others and helping fellow students through their literary journey. She hopes to always be part of our community!

Layla has been part of the Lyceum community since she was young and has participated in camps and classes. Throughout the years she has developed a love for the Lyceum and the people there. From painting with mixed-media to weaving or reading, art is one of her favourite ways of expression. Layla is always eager to work with children and creativity and is thrilled to be part of the Lyceum team!

Isabella is currently a grade 11 student at Little Flower Academy. From discovering the beloved world of reading in pre-school to writing her first story in second grade, Isabella's life has constantly revolved around literature. Completely enamoured with the world of arts, she is presently working on her first full-length novel and is hoping to pursue a degree in English literature. When she's not reading or writing, Isabella enjoys eating lots of ice cream, recommending far too many books to her peers, and spending plenty of time with her friends. She is so excited to be joining the volunteer team at Christianne's Lyceum of Literature and Art and looks forward to meeting you all! 

Ruby is a grade eleven student who has been with the Lyceum for almost three years. She goes to the Lyceum knowing that it is a place she can grow as a writer and eat delicious snacks. Her favourite volunteer experience has been painting pots for a Lyceum fundraiser. It was a perfect win-win situation: she got to paint, something she loves to do, and help a place that has aided her writing. She always associates the Lyceum with good memories. When Ruby isn't writing, she is playing soccer, reading, or cooking for her family.

Zach Duong is a Grade 9 Student currently attending the GOLD Program at Prince of Wales Secondary School. He has been coming to the Lyceum since he was three years old! That's eleven whole years of coming and having fun at the Lyceum! Zack loves exploring Vancouver whether it's riding his bike or taking transit or both at the same time! He also of course loves coming to the Lyceum, reading and writing with his, and biking up the huge and tough hill in order to get to the Lyceum. Zack has contributed a lot to growing the Lyceum and has changed the Lyceum a lot. Zack has only been volunteering for only a few months but is looking forward to the experiences ahead and perhaps meeting you one day!
