Athletics  

Our grade 6, 7 & 8 badminton teams played in their divisional tournament this week.  Our grade 7’s started on Tuesday at James Fowler High School and had great success winning the division.  Our athletes finished first in four of the groupings and had many of the team finish top 6 to earn points for the school.  Congratulations to them.  Our grade 6 team played on Wednesday at Peter Lougheed and also saw a lot of success coming in second place with our teams winning the boys doubles and girls doubles events and many more playing great badminton.  Finally, our grade 8’s played on Thursday night also at Fowler and came two points short of first place finishing in second.  The grade 8’s finished first in both mixed doubles and girls doubles and a lot of the groups scored points for the team.  Our grade 9 team will finish off the badminton season playing on Tuesday at James Fowler High School so we wish them the best.   

Any parents that have not paid for badminton fees we ask that you please get those paid as soon as possible. 

Track and field tryouts will be happening this week with the schedule below.  We ask that students bring clothing to change into that they are able to run, jump or throw in.  All athletes that make the track and field team will need to find their own way to the track meet at Foothills Athletic Park on June 2^nd running from 8:30 am – around 4:30 pm.  Where the track is located is on a c-train line so any parents that feel comfortable with their students taking transit are more than welcome to do so. 

Please ensure that if your child is planning to try out for an athletic team that they have turned in their athletic tryout purple form to the phys ed office.  If students still need this form, they can pick one up from the pe office in the gym. 

Athletic Schedule 

Physical Education 

With warmer weather coming back we are noticing students wearing shoes that are not suitable for participating in pe activities.  These shoes include sandals, crocs, flip flops and slides.  We are okay with students wearing these shoes around the building but when it is time for physical education class we ask that these students change into a pair of running shoes that they are also bringing to school with them.  There is a great safety concern of students breaking bones in their feet or ankles with improper shoes participating in our activities.  Students wearing the incorrect footwear will be asked to sit out of activities until they fix the issues and parents will be notified of the issue. 

We have continued our track and field module where students competed in running, jumping and throwing events that included 100m sprint, 60m hurdles, 300m dash, 1200m run, relay, discus, shot put and high jump. We will be carrying on with these events over the next two weeks and add in long jump and 600m. This module will lead into our track and field team which will compete on June 2^nd at Foothills Athletic Park.
