Congratulations to the Jr. Boys Volleyball Team for their first place result at the Island Championships this past weekend. The boys put together their most consistent effort of the season and performed very well. The team defeated Carihi in the quarterfinals (2-0 in sets), and followed that up with a straight set victory over Claremont in the semi-finals. Oak Bay faced a tough Reynolds team in the final, and managed to come away with a spirited victory in the deciding third set. Well done and an excellent conclusion to the season.
Cst Perry has set up a questions/concerns box at the table in the counsellor center.

A quick refresher on SHAD:
High potential students spend July living at a university while engaging in hands-on learning in STEAM & Entrepreneurship.
SHAD looks for grade 10, 11 or 12 students who are: involved in their communities, creative & keen learners
A range of bursaries are available, ensuring the program is accessible to students with demonstrated financial need. Last year, we awarded over one million dollars in bursaries and scholarships. The cost of the program should not be the reason a student does not apply! See Mrs. Giesbrecht in the Career Centre if you have any questions.
Grade 11 and 12’s are welcome to attend the university presentations in the Career Centre over the next couple of months. Check the link below frequently for dates and times as they are subject to change. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1q9G6IGT3LQ8SZhoi3560vMWAZqXAb_rmJGIwmJIb2io/edit?ts=5b96d1ec
