Jamal Ottun, a Year 12 student at the school, died after drowning in a lake at a swimming trip on the school's annual Canada Rugby Tour. It was later determined by an inquest that Ottun was pushed into Shawnigan Lake, Vancouver Island by a fellow student. In his memory, the "Jamal Ottun Scholarship" was founded, a £5,000 grant given by the Ottun family to support the tuition fees of students who "exemplify the values that Jamal embodied in his time at the school". As of 2020, there have been two recipients, both of whom were Head Boys of the School.
