Shawnigan Lake School is a co-educational independent boarding school located on Vancouver Island in Shawnigan Lake, British Columbia, Canada. It was founded by Englishman Christopher Windley "C. W." Lonsdale in 1916 and was partly modelled after the Westminster School in England.[1]

The school's Latin motto, Palmam Qui Meruit Ferat, means "Let whosoever deserves the palm bear it."
