Intermediate Intramural 3 on 3 basketball
Intermediate 3 on 3 basketball has commenced with lots of interest and excitement. Both of the girls and boys have shown sensational teamwork and gameplay. Games will be Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at second break.
Physical Education Footwear
As the wet weather continues, please be advised that indoor shoes is an excellent option for keeping our hallways and gymnasium clean and slip free. It is a safety concern when the floor in the gym becomes wet from outdoor shoes but more importantly this reduces instructional time as the water needs to be cleaned up.
Intermediate Athletic Council
Huge thanks to the Athletic Council for creating teams, formulating schedules and devising rules for their Ball Hockey and 3 on 3 basketball intramurals. Members are always encouraged to attend meetings and assist in the running of our Intermediate Intramural Program. See Mr. French for more details.
