Attention all students who are in need of a summer job.  Lots of summer job fairs are taking place over the March break. You are encouraged to continually check the D2L - Student Services page for announcements regarding such.  Actually, from this point on, it would be a good idea to check this page regularly as a number of amazing opportunities are being announced weekly.

CLUBS

ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS! 2021-2022 yearbooks are now available to order through school cash online. Photos from grade day to game day to graduation will be included. Don’t miss the opportunity to buy a keepsake of the year.

SPORTS 

Track & Field

Are you signed up for Track & Field? Sign up in the Gym Foyer. Practices start after March break on Wednesday the 23rd and then everyday after. We will practice indoors for the first couple weeks.

Attention rowers. Thank you for your continued consistent attendance. Practices continue today and tomorrow with tonight being a novice and experienced night. Novices who have missed this week are encouraged and welcome to come out Friday. If you want the best chance to row in the top crews then attending practice regularly is the first and foremost step. See you soon. Go blue and gold!

The Sr. Boys Basketball team defeated Centennial yesterday 75-35 to claim the Zone 3 AA title! This was the first game this season that all 13 players scored - great job boys. Leading the boys offensively were Riley, Luke, and Jackson. Enjoy the break but keep shooting so we can stay hot for the season ending tournament.

The varsity boys hockey team had a strong effort yesterday but came up short, losing 6-5 against Port Colborne in the zone finals.  Mr. Lew and Mr. Blanchard would like to thank all of the players who came out this year, the season wouldn’t have been possible without you.

A reminder to the intramural hockey league that there is a game between orange and yellow at 2:45.  The season continues after March break with orange vs blue on Tuesday March 22 and grey vs yellow on Thursday March 24.
