BASKETBALL:
It has been a tremendous season for our four basketball teams. After playing in several exhibition games both our Grade 5 and Grade 6 teams will be heading to their respective ISEA Basketball Playdays next week. The Grade 5 team will travel with their coaches (Ms. Kanavos and Ms. Anthony) over to Mulgrave School on Tuesday, February 14. The Tigers will be divided into four teams and each will participate in an awesome basketball event that will include over 225 players from 14 schools! No doubt the Tigers will roar, and then head home for a well-deserved rest. The Grade 6 Tigers, led by Mr. Bester, will be participating in the ISEA Playday at the Richmond Olympic Oval on Wednesday, February 15. This premier venue has been the site of many ISEA events, and we are super excited to return after a two-year hiatus. Good luck Tigers!
Our two Grade 7 teams have their final league games next Monday, February 13. This will be our final home game of the school year, and we hope lots of fans come out and cheer! Both teams are jockeying for a good position in the league standings as we prepare for the ISEA Tournaments on Thursday, February 23. On that day, the 7B team will be playing at WPGA and the 7A will be travelling over to Collingwood School. Good luck to our Grade 7s!
SWIM TEAM:
After our start date was delayed, the Swim Team finally got their practices underway on January 9. It was a wonderful start, and we are thankful for everyone’s patience. However, the late start meant we had to be very organized and prepared as the first meet took place on January 23, and that was followed by our second swim meet on February 3. Thank goodness for our coaches who had our athletes well organized and prepared. The students had a great time, swimming fast, learning protocols and cheering each other onwards and upwards. As a team, the Tigers placed exceptionally well, finishing second overall in both meets. The season wraps up next week with the ISEA Swimming Championships on Thursday, February 16 at Watermania in Richmond.
