Weekly Message - October 5-9
Happy Thanksgiving! We have an extended weekend with the school closed on Monday. Classes resume on Tuesday morning.
We’re halfway through the month of October and still enjoying unbelievable weather (let's just ignore the forecast for this weekend). The great weather is perfect for our soccer season and our teams have been enjoying the warm conditions and wonderful support of fans at games. The soccer playoffs and finals are scheduled for the week of Oct. 19 wrapping up the season.
Our grade nine trip to Bamfield Marine Science Centre on Vancouver Island is taking place this week. We are confident it will be an amazing experience for grade nine students participating and we hope to continue this trip in coming years.

Phoenix Rising Basketball Tournament
Congratulations to our Junior Boys and Girls basketball teams who played in our Phoenix Rising Basketball Tournament last weekend. Both teams played very well but, more importantly, were exceptional hosts and ambassadors for our school. Thank you, student-athletes, you make us proud. Another thank you to our athletes’ families who provided snacks for the volunteer room and helped us share our appreciation with the coaches, refs and supervisors that made our weekend a success!
