Robert Bateman Secondary

Opening for the 1993 school year, "Bateman" as it is commonly referred to by students, was named after the famous Canadian painter Robert Bateman. Officially known as Robert Bateman Secondary School, it is part of Abbotsford School District #34, and has been part of this district since 1993.

Home to roughly a thousand students and staff, Bateman is a place of learning. The school in recent years added a 'Grad Lounge,' a place where Graduates with a spare could relax on leather couches in what was once a key place to display works of student art. Now it is nothing more than a hide away zone where Bateman art is for the most part no longer avaliable to bateman students. The inhabitants of the Grad Lounge itself, wether by choice or not, have been given the designation 'tools' while the Lounge is called the 'Tool Box.'
