Academics

Located across from Lafarge Park and next to the David Lam Campus of Douglas College, Pinetree is unique in that it shares its site and part of the facility with both Coquitlam Parks and Leisure Services and Douglas College. This three-way partnership has enabled all partner groups to benefit from cost sharing in the creation of exceptional physical education facilities.

Pinetree offers a wide range of courses in Mathematics, Science, Humanities, and Arts. In addition to regular courses it offers an Honours pathway in each of these departments. The Honours pathway starts at Grade 9 and develops into Advanced Placement and/or Independent Directed Studies courses.

Mathematics

Pinetree actively participates in a variety of mathematics competitions, and frequently achieves high rankings.

Athletic Department

In the 2006-2007 year, Pinetree's grade 9 basketball team were the provincial champions, while Pinetree's Junior tennis team were the Fraser Valley champions. The Pinetree Senior badminton team won provincials in 2010.

Arts

Pinetree offers a range of musical opportunities such as Junior/Senior Concert Band, Junior/Senior Jazz Band, Concert Choir and Vocal Jazz/Show Choir. Courses such as Musical Composition and Guitar are also offered. Concerts are held throughout the year, including the annual Ensembles Night, Fall/Winter/Spring Concerts, and Final concerts. The department also holds an award ceremony, congratulating students for a job well done during the year they were in the department.

Drama is offered in Pinetree's Treehouse Theatre. Students may expand their performance ability by participating in school plays or in the school's award-winning improv team, Code Orange. The shows put on by the drama department sometimes feature pit bands, singing/dancing performances and audience interaction.
