ANOTHER GIGANTIC THANK YOU...

At this time I would like to acknowledge and thank Ms. Lorette Jack for her very generous donation of basketballs to our recess equipment loan program. Ms. Jack's kindness is very appreciated and I know the basketballs will be very well received!!

C.B.A.

The Clairlea Basketball Association was back for its third season and still going strong. Open to all students in grades 6, 7, and 8, the popularity of the C.B.A. precipitated the creation of 3 divisions: Grade 7/8 Boy's,  Grade 6/7/8 Girls and Grade 6 Boys.

Over the last 6 weeks the action has been swift, the shots buzzer-beating and the fans needing only the edge of their seats. Every game was a very tight affair, with all playoff games being separated by 3 points or less. From the fan and player perspectives one could not have asked for more. A big congratulations goes out to all of this year's participants and of course to this year's champions: The Thunder, The Raptors and The Bulls. Here at the Commissioner's office we are very much looking forward to next year!!

Clairlea European Handball Association

In it's inaugural season, the C.E.HB.A was made available to our grades 4 and 5 students.  A high intensity, fast-paced sport incorporating the speed and agility of basketball, throwing skills, and the strategy of basically any target oriented sport and two nets.

Over the course of the last 5 weeks, teams have battled it out at recesses for the opportunity to become this year's champion. After a long, hard, and extremely fun season, The Wild Boars were crowned Champions.  As this was the first season, and an experiment of sorts, and provided there is enough interest, we will look to continue this next year. Congratulations to all that participated, it was a great season!!

Junior Boy's Volleyball Practice and Game

On Tuesday  (March 7th) the boys will be meeting at 730 am to reacquaint themselves with their skills. They will be preparing for a friendly game against/with the junior girls squad who just finished their (very successful) season. We will play Tuesday after school and should be wrapped up by 430.

Winter Activity Day 2017

On a perfect February day our Junior and Intermediate students descended down the slopes of Skyloft Ski Club and boogied around Scooter's Roller Palace. 

Our skiers and snow boarders were treated to sunshine and just-below- freezing temperatures in what turned out to be the perfect combination for some downhill fun.

Our other contingent, made up of roller skaters and roller bladers, had an equally enjoyable time as they cruised around the Palace to some groovy tunes.  

All in all it was a fabulous time had by all involved with no injuries reported. An additional bonus were the remarks made by both Skyloft and Scooters' staffers on how polite and well mannered our students were, with Scooters saying we were the best school they've ever had, something we never get tired of hearing!

A big thank you goes out to all of our parent volunteers whose time was invaluable to the success of our trip, for which we are very grateful.

Looking forward to next year!!!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

As we prepare to wrap up 2016, it is a good time to reflect on all the athletic awesomeness of the last 4 months.

With Junior World Cup, Junior and Intermediate Boy's Volleyball and two thirds of the primary World Cup in the books, we pause to celebrate all of the highs and lows of seasons past.

Upon our return in January, we look to finish off our Primary World Cup with the culmination of the grade 3 season, gear up for both our Junior and Intermediate Girl's volleyball seasons, the C.B.A. for grades 6-8, in addition to a new addtion to our athletic lineup, the junior European Handball League. And this will only take us to March!!!

On behalf of the athletic department and all of our past,  current and future coaches, we would like to extend our best wishes to our Clairlea families and look forward to seeing everyone back happy and healthy in 2017!!

Jr. Boys Volleyball Wrap Up

Our tournament has come and gone and our season has come to a close. The team played very well, winning every set up to the final.

We played an equally skilled team in Samuel Hearne, who also had not dropped a set the entire day. Despite leading in both sets, our boys almost came out on top, but fell 25-23 and 25-21. It was a great day and our team showed that they belong with the best teams in the league.

Sadly our season is over, and despite pleas to the contrary, our practices have also reached their end. On behalf of Mr. Roberts, we would like to thank all of the boys for their hard work and dedication this season and hope they continue with their volleyball careers. We will have one final lunch time meeting to celebrate this seasons successes, which will be done over some pizza. When we  have a date confirmed for our lunch we will notify the team both at school and through the blog.

Junior Girls Volleyball Tryouts and practice Schedule

This year's season is upon us and we will be selecting our team next week.  Girls in gr.5 or 6 are invited to come out Monday, December 5 and Tuesday, December 6 at 730 am. Those girls who make the team will be practicing Wednesday and Thursday morning of next week. See you all there!

Jr. Boys Vball Tourney Update

All of the hard work that these boys have put in will be tested tomorrow. We are very pleased with the progress of the entire team. Every member has become a better volleyball player from where they started from 5 weeks ago. It was quite a difficult task sorting out the top 10.

The entire team will be travelling to the tourmament. We will be leaving school shortly after 8am to catch the bus (TTC).  We will be thaking the Pharmacy 67 south just a few stops down Pharmacy Ave. Please ensure your son has a lunch as we will be returning to school after lunch. If we do well our return will be close to 3, otherwise we will arrive sooner.

See you tomorrow at 730, Go Panthers!!

Junior Boy's Volleyball Tournament Info

Our qualifying tournament is next Wednesday, November 30 at Samuel Hearne PS (on Pharmacy Ave, just north of Danforth Ave).

The schedule will be handed out at tomorrow's practice. If there are any parents wishing to come out to support our team, please feel free.

Due to our Wednesday tournament date, we will be practicing Monday,  Tuesday and Wednesday next week.

My apologies to any parents who have sent messages through the blog and have not received a reply. I am not receiving those messages and have therefore been unaware of them. I will look into finding a solution to that problem.

Junior Boy's Volleyball Nov 22-24

Our practice schedule will remain  the same for this week.

We have 1 exhibition game Wednesday the 23rd at Manhattan Park PS after school. We will be back at school close to 5 pm. Our proposed 2nd exhibition fell through due to the inability of the other team to transport their team to and from their school.

Now let's work hard and have some fun, Go Panthers!

Terry Fox

It has been a couple of weeks since our annual Terry Fox Fun Run. On what turned out to be a beautiful day weather wise, the smiles and effort displayed by all of our students put an exclamation point on a wonderful afternoon.

Our fundraising effort has yet to be tallied so check back for the final sum. The Terry Fox Foundation will forward us that number when all monies have been submitted.

Great work Panthers!!!

Boy's Softball

Our season has come to a close. We played our final game against Joseph Howe in the semi final. Unfortunately our journey ended there as we were defeated 10-2.

Despite the loss, our team improved steadily over the course of the season. Many players, who were not previously in the line up, worked their way into permanent spots through hard work and determination, which was a pleasure to see.

The coaches would like to thank our players for their dedication  and willingness to learn and their determination to get better.

We will be wrapping the season up with a small celebratory lunch, Friday, October 29th. Good work Panthers!!!
