Congratulations to all of our student-athletes on a great volleyball season. Our players and coaches worked hard all season developing their individual and team skills. Our 7/8 Girls teams played exceptionally well at divisionals on November 26th – taking 2nd place overall – losing to a strong Grosse Isle team. Great work girls.

These behaviour expectations can be summarised in an easy to remember phrase – “Be Respectful – Be Responsible – Be Safe”.
