Dancing and Chatelech '88 Grad?

 Mr. Hindmarch demonstrating one of the many dance moves.  The popular dance unit has started and students are very keen.

 Another move!

Jamie proudly wearing a Chatelech '88 grad jacket!  He wore this for Parent-Teacher interviews last night.

I was pleased with the good turnout for the interviews. If report cards weren't picked up last night they will be sent home with students today.

Have a good day.

Basketball Season Upon Us

I had a parent stop by my office today and she volunteered  to coach our girls' grade 8 basketball team.  After we chatted she agreed to coach the Grade 8 and 9 girls and I indicated that the Grade 10 girls could play up with the senior team.

Hopefully this will allow us to develop a solid girls' basketball program and give more girls a chance to play.

We have coaches for all of our boys' teams, so our gym will be busy during the season.

Thanks to Mr. Biel, our acting Athletic Director,  for organizing the coaches, referees and timers/scorekeepers.

The Senior Girls have their first game at home against Elphinstone this Thursday at 5:00 pm.  I am looking forward to the upcoming season and I welcome parents to partner with us during the season. Thanks in advance.

Guest Chef Visits CSS

Chef Evan, from the Art Institute of Vancouver (Culinary Institute) worked in our Foods classes today.  He indicated that food should be a party for your mouth! It is a great way to think of food.

Just a reminder that Friday is a Professional Development Day, so regular classes will not be in session.  Have a great weekend.
