Learning at its Finest
Athletics
Curling
Our curling team has been practicing hard every Monday from 3:30-5:00 since October at the curling rink. They are getting better and better and having lots of fun due to the determination of our students and the efforts of their great coaches
Basketball
We had our Foxfest last month and our kids did not disappoint! Our girls and boys teams took home the gold in each of their tournaments.
We have been doing well with our division and tournament play bringing home lots of wins and more medals from other tournaments and most importantly we are continually getting better.
A huge thank you goes out to our coaches who are putting in tireless effort and volunteer time to help our students continue to improve and reach for new team bests.
