Girls Soccer

The first tryout for grade 6-8 girls soccer will be tomorrow (Monday, April 10th) from 3:30-4:30. Meet at edge park and don't forget your cleats and shin pads!

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 GIRLS VBALL

Thank you to all the gr6 girls who came out this morning!  There sure is a lot of talent out there. We look forward to practicing with our Gr.5s tomorrow morning at 730 sharp! The coaches plan to take 14 girls on the vball team this year and the final roster will be posted before last recess tomorrow. Good luck to all! 

For all those who make the team, our first practice will be this Thursday morning at 730. All practices leading up to the holidays will be Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 730.

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.
