Special programs
In addition to a full range of standard academic courses and athletics, the school also offers:
Marine Institute
The Marine Institute at Parkland was established in 2012. It is operated as a school academy, together with the Sailing Academy, to offer students a range of opportunities in academics, post-secondary credits and apprenticeships, trades certifications, environmental recreation, and sailing through both classroom-based instruction and on-the-water experience. The Marine Institute partners with the Institute of Ocean Sciences, a research station operated by the Government of Canada at nearby Patricia Bay. The Institute of Ocean Sciences is paired with a Canadian Coast Guard base which home-ports Canadian and Japanese offshore oceanographic research vessels and an Arctic ice-breaker.
Saanich International Student Program
The Saanich International Student Program (SISP) is co-located at Parkland Secondary School. It serves students in Grades 9-12 at PSS, Stelly's Secondary School, and Clarement Secondary School. In the 2013-1014 academic year SISP students comprised approximately 15% of PSS's student population.
Weather station
The University of Victoria operates a weather station at PSS as part of its School-Based Weather Station Network which gathers data from schools around Greater Victoria for its Climate Modelling Group of the School of Earth and Ocean Science. The data is collected at the university and used to provide meteorological forecasts online.
Facilities
The school was originally constructed in 1973 and opened for the 1973-74 school year. A significant addition and upgrade were undertaken in 2000. The school is scheduled to undergo seismic upgrades in 2014-15.
