Campus Life and Community

A vibrant community life is essential to the Vanguard College experience. The Campus Life department exists to provide opportunities, development, and support for your personal wholeness (physical, emotional, spiritual, mental, social). We promote a strong sense of community, uphold our biblical and community standards, and shape the spiritual tone of Vanguard College.

Retreats

Each year students have the opportunity to attend an annual fall retreat within the first couple weeks of the school year. This time is set aside to build community and connection, with God and other students.

Chapel Services

As essential part of spiritual formation in the Vanguard community is our chapel services. Held once a week on Tuesdays, we gather as a community to engage in corporate worship and teaching from the Word.

Athletics

Gym Drop-in: Students are welcome to organize activities like Floor Hockey, Basketball, Volleyball, and exercise classes in our gym.

Sports Teams: Throughout the year there are various opportunities for students to participate in community league team sports organized through Campus Life. (e.g soccer, basketball, volleyball)

Prayer Room

The prayer room is open to students throughout the school year, Monday to Friday. Each morning, students and staff are invited to come together 1 hour before classes begin for early morning prayer.

Life Groups

All students participate in a time of community and small group discipleship (weekly or bi-weekly) led by upper year students and staff members.

Student Council

Student Council is an integral part of community life at Vanguard. The Council serves the student body in three key areas: Community, Spiritual Tone and Advocacy.

RESET and Spiritual Enrichment Days

Each semester, several days are set aside for students to experience spiritual refreshment in the midst of their studies. These services are designed to encourage the community to integrate Biblical knowledge into their hearts and lives.

Counselling Services

Students who encounter difficulties in their spiritual life, academic load, social relationships, etc., are reminded that the Campus Life team is available to counsel and provide guidance to students.

In the event that a student requires professional counselling from a registered psychologist or counsellor, Vanguard College may assist with referrals and finances through the Campus Pastor's offices.
