Walter Murray Collegiate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walter Murray Collegiate Institute is a high school serving grades 9 to 12, located in south-eastern Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. It is also known as Walter Murray Collegiate or simply WMCI.
The school is named after Dr. Walter Charles Murray, first president of the University of Saskatchewan. It is one of only two Saskatoon high schools to offer the Advanced Program (the other is Bedford Road) for gifted students, and a full French Immersion program (the other is Marion M. Graham Collegiate). WMCI has a technology wing that offers mechanics, welding, electronics, wood-working, machining, and photography/graphic arts to its students. WMCI also offers courses to those learning English as a second language. Each year, WMCI hosts Model United Nations, a United Nations simulator; students from surrounding communities are billetted with WMCI students, making it one of the largest and most successful Model UN in Saskatchewan. This school falls under the jurisdiction of the Saskatoon Public School Division.
