New way to stay connected Wildcats!!

The Grade 7s are getting ready for their Sacrament of Confirmation and had a wonderful retreat to focus on being a great disciple of Jesus. Congratulations Grade 7s on a wonderful day!

Last weekend our Badminton team played in a HIGH SCHOOL DOUBLES tournament hosted by the Cambridge Junior Badminton Club. We are so proud of ALL of the players. They all achieved some great wins (one team came in 2nd overall!), experienced some losses, and everyone learned a tonne! Most of all, they were brave and represented the Wildcats in a way that makes us proud... and best of all, they had FUN spending an entire day playing a sport they love!!
