Message from the Principal

Dear Parents/Guardians of grade 7 and 8 students,

We have received reports of possible Fern Avenue students breaking in to the abandoned building in Sorauren Park during the lunch hour, playing on the roof and throwing things from it onto the ground. This is clearly a safety risk, and possibly illegal. I have made an announcement today indicating this behaviour clearly contravenes our school expectations of conduct.

The park is used as a gathering place by students from several neighbouring schools. In order to prevent any mishap, I am asking you to speak to your child about your own expectations of their safety and their decisions regarding this unsupervised time period.

I have further contacted the community response Unit at 11 Division to alert them of this situation and requested that they increase their street presence in the area, particularly over the lunch period.

Thank you.

Mr. Moy

Alexander Moy

Congrats Grade 8 Girls Volleyball!

Congratulations to Fern's grade 8 girls volleyball team for an amazing season this year! Our team players committed to three months of practices with an energy and skill progression that was contagious. By the time we played our first tournament, our team had become really skilled with an amazing set-up and return volleyball game. We had a string of 12 consecutive wins in exhibitions and TDSB tournaments and playoffs games. Our team played at a very high level of volleyball throughout and was well prepared for the south Toronto final against Deer Park. The game went to a third set that was closely contested with many lead changes. The ending was exciting but did not fall in our favour, with a 3 point loss margin. Deer Park, a very good team, went on to win the TDSB Toronto city championship. It is bittersweet knowing that Fern team came that close to winning the City championship, however we feel very proud for our season and bringing back to Fern Avenue the south city finalist

Congrats Junior House League Dodgeball Superheroes!

Image
If you happened to hear a lot of talk about superheroes in the past two months it was quickly brought to your attention that it had to do with the superhero teams battling it out in one of the many dodgeball games at the school’s gym. The dodgeball house league has been a huge annual sporting event at Fern Avenue public school with over 90 of our junior students playing this year. It was a great extracurricular for our students to exercise, practice their skills of throwing, catching, and dodging, and most importantly to have fun and socialize with friends and other students at school! Raising the gold cup with teammates in a commemorative picture was the prize in the final game between the superheroes teams. And yet, this was as big of a prize as it gets for our heroes in the final dodgeball game played between the Avengers and Titans teams. The game itself was one of the most memorable ones ever as the lead changed many times and a tiebreaker was needed to finally have the Avengers n
