GCI Athletics

Grade 9 HEALTH & PHYSICAL EDUCATION

This course equips students with the knowledge and skills they need to make healthy choices and lead healthy, active lives in the future. Through participation in a wide range of physical activities, students develop knowledge and skills related to movement compete and personal fitness that provide a foundation for active living.

ATHLETIC BANQUET

In June we recognize and celebrate all varsity student athletes at GCI. A celebration dinner and awards presentation is held for all of the managers, coaches, players, parents and volunteers. The rich history of excellence can be seen on the championship banners hanging in the big gym and the historical photos outside of the gym.

SPORT SHSM (Grade 11/12)

What is a Specialist High School Major (SHSM)?

A SHSM is a ministry-approved specialized program that allows students to focus their learning on a specific economic sector (SPORT) while meeting the requirements to graduate from secondary school. It also assists in their transition after graduation to apprenticeship training, college, university or the workplace in sport.
