Fern Winter Sports Update

The full return of sports and athletic teams at schools this year has been such a welcome sight for all. Our students at Fern have been excited to participate in a number of teams, which has brought upon an elevated energy and school spirit with athletics. 

In the months of November and December Fern participated with teams in the junior and senior boys volleyball and girls basketball tournaments. Our students enjoyed playing sports, were competitive and had fun. All our teams did well, with our senior girls basketball team winning all their early round games and playing in a closely contested south city final. 

As educators and coaches we are so happy for all our students who are active in athletics, developing skills, individual and team, and most importantly having fun with their peers. Fun was also the word most of our students used to describe our senior volleyball house league. With over 80 of our senior students participating, our house league became a focal point in senior students' extracurriculars. Most games were close and the modified rules allowed for a relaxed and enjoyable sporting environment. 

The Smashers were the team that ended with the golden trophy, pictured below. 

For the months of January and February we have our senior and junior boys basketball teams, and our grade 7 and 8 girls volleyball teams practicing and playing tournaments. Attached is the practice schedule and coaches for each team. We also have our ice hockey team starting their season.

Wishing everyone a fun and active new year!
