Summer CALM Grade 9’s
Due to very high interest in the Summer CALM program, we have decided to offer 3 more courses this summer using our satellite facility in Canmore, Alberta. This program will follow a similar program to the Summer CALM program run at the Outdoor Learning Centre, but the schedule and timing of activities will differ. We will send the final schedule for this course in June with our parent communication.
Please note: This course is NOT run from the Outdoor Learning Centre. This course is located in Canmore, Alberta and will be run out of our bunk houses located at Elizabeth Rummel School.
Please register through CB-eLearn.
Summer CALM (Canmore Location) Course Dates (these additional courses are being offered):
- July 2-6, 2024
- July 8-12, 2024
- August 5-9, 2024
Y-Mind Teen
Y-Mind Teen is a free early intervention support for young people experiencing mild-moderate stress and anxiety through the YMCA for teens 13-18. Please see the link here for more details and to register.
Grade 9 Farewell Celebration
This is a reminder that the Grade 9 Farewell is next month. Please note:
Date: Wednesday, June 26th
Time: 12:30-2:00 pm in the Main Gym
BBQ: 2:00-3:00 pm on the compound for Grade 9s and immediate family
Dance: 3:00-4:30 pm in the Main Gym for Grade 9 students
Please note, the Farewell Ceremony on June 26th is NOT meant to be a highly formal event.
