Questions

How Do I Join a Club or Sports Team?

Do you like to sing, play basketball, or take photographs?

• One of the best ways to feel like you are a part of your new school is to join a team or a club.
• All high schools have a wide variety of extra-curricular activities to meet the interests and abilities of all students.
• Be sure to see the list offered to grade nine students at your high school next year.

Sports

1. Intramurals – These are activities that anyone can join and they usually run during lunch time. Some examples of these are: indoor soccer, volleyball, basketball.
2. Competitive Athletics – Team tryouts may take place over several days and coaches will make their decisions based on athletic ability and sportsmanship. Tryouts take place before and after school. You can find out about these tryouts through P.A. announcements, written announcements and posters throughout the school. When you join some teams you may have to pay a fee.

Clubs

• To be part of a club you simply have to sign up and attend the meetings and take part in the activities.
• If a club you are interested in is not offered, you can suggest it to someone on staff.

Student Council

All high schools have student councils that represent the students in the school. You can be part of Student Council starting in grade 9 by becoming your homeroom class representative. If you have something to contribute, have leadership skills or you want to be heard, Student Council is for you.
