In the Pursuit Of Excellence
In the Pursuit Of Excellence
First opening to the public in 1974, Riverbend has been providing athletic experiences to its students for over 45 years. The school's current athletic philosophy is grounded in the Long Term Athlete Development Model and encourages athletes to play multiple sports. Typically, the school has 200 student-athletes participating in at least 1 of 12 different athletic activities in a given school year. Many of these students are multi-sport athletes. The school offers competitive teams which students "try-out' for, and we also offer "no-cut teams "that simply require a good attitude to participate in (X-Country, Wrestling, Curling). All teams compete in EPSB's tier 1 premier division (the highest level of athletic programming offered through EPSB).
In addition to fielding competitive teams that consistently win city championships, Riverbend also has been successful in helping to develop individual athletes. The school boasts a strong alumni group that have gone on to pursue athletic excellence at the post-secondary level.
