After Grad is organized by the grade 11 & 12 parent community, along with the support and assistance of the administration and office staff at Pinetree. We strongly believe this safe, fun, and alcohol/drug free event helps saves lives.

Almost 95% of the graduating class attend this event which is held immediately following their Grad Dinner Dance celebration at downtown Vancouver. This year's event is at Cineplex Cinemas Coquitlam and VIP on Saturday and Sunday June 21 & 22, 2025. 

Because the graduating students are still in a celebratory mood after their dinner dance event, putting on this after grad event allows them to all stay together in a safe environment instead of finding a party to attend which would more than likely include alcohol/drugs.

In order to keep the traditions going, and to continue to have a high attendance rate at our event we give out door prizes throughout the night.

Event Highlights

Doors open at 11:30 pm and all students attending must be in the event no later than 12:30 am. The event ends at approx. 4:00 am.  Tickets will go on sale in May.

Along with high ticket prizes, grads can enjoy the evening watching the latest released movie, Karaoke, video games, arcade, photo booth, casino games, food and much more. This is all included in their $60 ticket. 

 Volunteer Call Out

This event cannot be successful without enough volunteers. Approximately 30-50 parent volunteers are required. Some tasks and jobs require a little more of your time, but we also need a large group to volunteer on the evening and would encourage you to help out anyway you can. No job is too small. We appreciate whatever you are able to contribute.

This grad class is the biggest one in Pinetree's history and we ask both grade 12 and 11 parents to join the committee. Additional volunteers and past alumni are welcomed to volunteer and we greatly appreciate their involvement. Why both grades? To ensure event support and continuity, we buddy up both Grade 12 and 11 parents in the five key volunteer areas, and welcome them to step up as the leader for these committees!
