Welcome Back from Spring Break!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Spring Break and Easter weekend!

As we return, we are now in the final push of the semester. We encourage all students to stay focused and reach out for support if needed as they work to finish strong.

Thank you to all of our coaches, staff, and volunteers for a great basketball season. Congratulations to our Senior Girls team on advancing to provincials—an outstanding achievement!

We are now in the midst of handball and badminton, and we appreciate everyone involved in supporting these programs.

We also recently returned from a fantastic trip to Portugal, which was a memorable experience for all involved.

April will be a busy month with many tournaments ahead. Best of luck to all of our teams!

Thank you for your continued support.

The land on which we gather, traditionally known as Asiniskaw Sipisis (Stoney Creek), is Treaty 6 Territory (traditional meeting ground for many Indigenous peoples). The land provided a traveling route and home to the Maskwacis Nêhiyawak, Nakoda, Tsuut’ina Nations, the Métis, and other Indigenous peoples. Their spiritual and practical relationships to the land create a rich heritage for our learning and our life.
