Updated April 15, 2026
New this year:
*For the 4 sports that require tryouts (Soccer, Bordenball, Tripleball & Basketball), individual students can participate in 2 out of the 4 sports teams each year. This will allow a greater number of students the experience of being a part of a school team.

Regional Meet
This year’s Junior Regional Meet for Track & Field will take place at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility at Mooney’s Bay on Tuesday, May 19th. (Yes, more than a full month earlier than usual. This is not ideal but it is out of our control so we will just do what we can! )
The lack of lead-up time this year means that students will have to carve out extra time on their own to practice/train.
