Athletics
Sending a huge ‘Good Luck’ to our Varsity Boys Soccer team as they travel to Port Hope to participate in the CAIS National Tournament from October 14 to October 17, 2026. The team had an amazing Day 1, beating both Stanstead College from Quebec and Ridley College from St. Catharines. Great opening Day!
Success on the trails continues to happen with our U9-U14 team as they prepare for the St. Andrew’s Meet and CISAA Championship. A huge shoutout goes to Selma N. on our Varsity X-Country team as she placed 1st in the Birchmount Meet on October 7, 2026.
Many factors impact excellence in sport. As a coach, I always stress the importance of sleep in life, school, and the arena of sport. Here is a great video on the importance of sleep for athletes: Sleep for Athletes.
Go Storm!
