It was an evening to recognize the accomplishments of the school’s varsity teams and athletes.

The night began with a recognition of the five athletes who qualified for the OFSAA Championships in their respective sports. This included Hazeem Nasir, Nay Say Eh and Johnny Knelsen in Badminton, and Dustin Sellick and Dakari Milks in Track and Field.
