​Sports:

The JV Boys Soccer team had a tremendous first game. The players passed and moved the ball with a lot of success. The team was very respectful toward the other team. Score was 9-1 for our Cougars. Special thanks to Chris Fowlow for filling in as referee.

The Varsity Girls soccer team played a strong game yesterday against Hampton, but ended up with a loss of 2-0.  The girls held their heads high and showed great sportsmanship. A reminder that there will be a soccer practice after school on Monday for the Girls Varsity team.

Good luck to the Varsity Boys Soccer team as they host their first game today at 4 pm.

There will be a JV Girls Soccer game today at RNS at 4 pm. Reminder to arrive by 3:30 pm. Good luck girls!

Remember the ArtsSmarts ‘Minda Project’?...  In June, Gr. 8 students arranged 14, 280 pieces of painted cardboard on the Qplex floor to create a portrait of Minda Burley, a survivor of the Sixties Scoop.  A recap of our project is scheduled to be featured on CTV’s ‘Live at 5’ today in support of our National Day for Truth & Reconciliation.    

Also today, Rothesay High School is creating a massive childhood portrait of another Sixties Scoop survivor on the large field in front of their school.  Everyone is welcome to show support for ‘Every Child Matters’ at RHS today - opening remarks start at the high school at 6:00 this evening.
