Congratulations to the Junior Girls' Volleyball team who had won SWOSSAA Finals against Tecumseh Vista in 3 games straight. The team went as far as they could at the Junior Level. Good job!
The Senior Girls' Volleyball team had unfortunately lost in the Semi Finals of SWOSSAA against SFX of Sarnia. A disappointing finish for what had been a very successful season. Good work on the season ladies!
A BIG thank you to all the Coaches of the Winter Sports... Mr. Kevin Wolting, Mr. Steve Kloostra, Mr. Ben Nydam, Mr. Pete Watson, Mrs. Ingrid Lahey, Mr. Richard Koomans, Mrs. Trish Sluys, Mr. Alex Sluys, and me too.  :P

Track and Field have Patrick McNamara and Jessica Brooks. Boys' Soccer is with Roger Grootenboer and Steve Kloostra. And it looks like there will be a Girls' Soccer team formed for the Christian School Tournament... we are still looking for a head coach for this team.
