General Wolfe Elementary is a public elementary school in Vancouver, British Columbia part of School District 39 Vancouver.
General Wolfe Elementary was built in 1910. One of Wolfe's claims to fame is the boy in "Wait for Me, Daddy" photograph (of a boy reaching out towards his father in a line for war). This photo is internationally recognized, and the boy went to school at Wolfe. In 1912, two additional wings were added due to expanding population. Then in 1920 two wooden temporary buildings were built. These two buildings are still the annex and the gym today. General Wolfe used to have three portables which were used as classrooms, but when attendance dropped some in 2007, they were all eventually taken away. General Wolfe Elementary was named after General James Wolfe. During 2020–2021 there were significant upgrades to the school dubbed the seismic upgrade. The purpose of this was to make the schools walls stronger in the event of an earthquake. While the upgrades were being done the student and staff had to be relocated to a school called "South Hill Education Center" however it is often shortened to "South Hill". [3] [4]
