EXTRA-CURRICULAR SPORTS

LRHS is committed to providing ample opportunity for students to participate in a wide range of extra-curricular activities. Students are encouraged to "get involved" and take advantage of these opportunities. If you wish to try out for an athletic team, see your Physical Education teacher and ask for a medical form to be completed by your doctor.

The following is a list of extra-curricular sports that are being or have been offered to students during the 2006- 2007 school year.

Football:  LRHS experienced a revival with regards to its football programme during the Fall of 2006.  Students in Secondary I and II (Benjamin), Secondary II and III (Cadet), and Secondary IV and V (Juvenile) participated in the rebuilding phase of all of our teams.

Rain or shine, players practiced and scrimmaged hard to develop the skills and plays needed with the intent of entering a league for next season.  Our number one goal was to, above all, have fun.  Although there is still more work to be done, we hope to have an even greater interest for the 2007-2008 season to help with the continued rebuilding of our programme.  The future of the LRHS Bears depends on the commitment of our players.  Coach:  Mr. T. Kat.

Junior Girls Basketball:  Congratulations to the Junior Girls Basketball Team for the excellent season!  Players showed dedication and great sportsmanship from the very first practice in late October.  Their efforts paid off on the court in January when they won three of their four games and finished second in their pool at the St-Pierre Tournament in St-Jerome.  They continued to be successful at exhibition games against St-Agathe Academy and Polyvalente St-Jerome in February and March.   Special thanks to Patricia Gardner who assisted the team during practices early in the season.  Coach:  Miss M. Demers.

Junior Soccer:  Practices took place in the months of September through October.  Players had the wonderful opportunity to participate at the very first Junior Co-ed Soccer Tournament at Laurentian Regional High School on October 25th.  Teams from across the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board participated in this friendly tournament.  Many teams and players had their day of glory on this wonderful day.  Congratulations to the "Northern Jewels" of Laurentian Regional High School for their great performance, to the senior students and teachers who made this event happen, and to all the teams who participated in this unique and fun event.   We look forward to the next season!  Coaches:  Miss. M. Demers, Mrs. G. Cragg, and Mrs. I. Plante.

Senior Soccer:  Season:  September to October.  Open to Secondary III to V students.  There are usually 8 – 10 games + playoffs.  Coach:  Mr. J. Wilson.

Senior Boys Basketball:  We had a formative season.  We were placed in a Double A Division, and all things considered, we feel we did a good job.  We’re looking forward to next year.  Special thanks to assistant coaches Mario Seguin, Peter Dery, and Isabelle Plante.  Coach:  Sheldon Segal

Senior Boys Hockey:  The LRHS hockey team meets once a week on Tuesdays for practice. Although the team only pulled together for one victory this season, we still managed to always have fun. The team would like to thank our coach, Mr. Mawdryk, for all of his great fundraising and being able to organize a trip to the Maritimes. It should be a memorable experience. On behalf of the senior players who will be leaving at the end of this season, we would like to wish the team good luck in the years to come.  Coach:  Mr. A. Mawdryk.

Senior Girls Basketball:  The senior girls’ basketball team met for practice twice a week.  The girls were full of spirit from the get go and that never dwindled.  We won some, lost some, and enjoyed many very close games filled with exciting moments.  We ended the season with new friendships and great memories.  Coach:  R. Hughes.

It is the responsibility of the student who has missed class time in order to participate in an extra-curricular activity to find out what work was missed and to complete all work and assignments which have been given. Students who are irresponsible about their school work may be denied permission by the teacher concerned to be absent from that teacher's class in order to participate in an extra-curricular activity.

Students participating in extra-curricular activities are to conduct themselves in the same manner expected of students during school hours and in classes. They are subject to the same rules and regulations as at any other time in school.
