Mr. Ellerker, Mrs. Wilson and myself would like to congratulate all the members of the Cross-Country Team. We took 40 students to the City Finals and the runners did a great job with many reaching their personal best. Final results will be sent to us next week. Furthermore, our softball and football teams have completed their seasons, with our Jr Boys and Girls and Sr Girls Football, and Sr Softball teams making the City Finals next week.
We are so happy to have so many clubs and teams happening around the school. In the past, we've had a weekly Sports Calendar on our website outlining the dates for practices and games. This year, we are adding clubs to the calendar. Please be patient with us as we work our way through this process.
We received our grade 3-8 CTBS (Canadian Test of Basic Skills) results. Overall, the students continue to do quite well compared to national results. The scores below are shown as "Grade Equivalents". For example, a "4-4" achievement level is the expected achievement level of a child in grade 4, 4th month. The following are overall grade results in Reading, Writing and Math:
Grade 3: 4-3, 4-2, 4-3
Grade 4: 5-8, 6-0, 6-1
Grade 5: 7-5, 8-1, 7-7
Grade 6: 7-7, 9-7, 9-1
Grade 7: 9-1, 11-1, 11-0
Grade 8: 9-6, 10-1, 11-2
We are really proud of our students' progress!
