The Week in
Review…
Basketball
This week saw both our Intermediate Girls’ and Boys’
Basketball teams compete in the Central Area tournaments. Both teams
represented Bayview Hill with skill and fair play. We thank the players,
coaches and parents (who had to get their child to games and early morning
practices) for all their hard efforts. Basketball is becoming an increasingly
more competitive game in elementary schools, and our players rose to the
occasion. Go Bengals!
Skills Challenge
Mr. Chow took several grade 7 and 8 students to the York
Region Skills Competition. As a school community, we would like to
extend a congratulation to Hannah who placed 3rd overall in the
intermediate prepared speech competition, and our TV and Video production
students, Katie and Kim were successful in creating a Public Service Announcement
on the theme of 'wellbeing' from scratch including planning, filming,
editing, and rendering all within less than 4 hours. Go Bengals!
Electives
Although the forecast called for rain on Wednesday, February 28th, our
Intermediate and Junior electives day went forward. We were rewarded with NO
rain, and great spring conditions to enjoy a day outdoors. Thank you to all our
teachers who volunteered their time to co-ordinate this extra-curricular event.
Our students had a great time!
