History

The school's facility was constructed in 1927 at the corner of Cambie and Sexsmith Roads. It accommodated grades 10 and 11 as Richmond Secondary School until 1937, when grades 8 and 9 were added, and the school’s name changed to Richmond Junior-Senior Secondary School. With the opening of a new Richmond High School on Foster Road (now Minoru Boulevard) in 1952, the original facility on Cambie Road became Cambie Junior Secondary School, serving Grades 7 to 10.[1]

According to the city of Richmond, "The school was named after the road, but the road was named after Henry James [John] Cambie, an engineer with the Canadian Pacific Railway, who surveyed and built roads in both Vancouver and Richmond."[2]

In 1969, money was appropriated to expand the school,[3] including addition of a chemistry lab.[citation needed]

During the Royal Family's visit to Vancouver in 1971, the band from Cambie Junior Secondary school played God Save the Queen while the Union Jack was hoisted.[4]

In 1995, the original building was replaced by a new facility at Jacombs and No. 5 Road. Renamed Henry James Cambie Secondary School, it became a junior-senior secondary school in 1996.[2] The building on Cambie and Sexsmith roads burned down in the late 1990s.[2]

Curriculum

A 2020 study listed these curricular areas: "Applied Design, skills & Technology, Arts Education, Career Education, Language Arts – Literacy, Language Arts – Oral Language, Language Arts – Reading, Language Arts – Writing, Mathematics / Numeracy, Physical & Health Education, Science, Social Studies".[5]

One 2020 curricular focus was awareness and appreciation of the Hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ language and culture.[5]

Carpentry

Cambie operates a carpentry apprenticeship program in which the 12th grade students undertake such projects as building cabins.[6][7]

Technology

In 1999, Cambie was one of two Canadian schools selected to participate in a technology sharing program with schools in Asia.[8]

Athletics

The first gymnasium was built in 1929. It was designed by McCarter and Nairne, and was 50 by 110 feet in length. It included a stage and dressing rooms.[9][10]

In 1995 the school received 3 million dollars to develop playing fields adjacent to the new school building. 2 million was provided by the Canada-British Columbia Infrastructure Works Program, with the remaining $1 million being provided by the community of Richmond. The project covered 17.4 hectares, and included facilities for soccer, baseball, tennis, and basketball.[11]
