Good afternoon, Colonel Irvine School community, 

下午好! 学文学校社区, 

A big congratulations to our Boys Soccer team for winning the championship banner this year. They went undefeated this whole season. Well done to their final game against FEO. They played hard and won 3-2 in overtime play. Thank you to Mr. Thompson, Mr. Mills and Mr. Sundstrom for coaching and sponsoring our student athletes.  Good luck to the Girls Soccer team on Tuesday.  

On Monday we will meet with the grade 9’s to discuss high school and what they can expect over the next few months with respect to tours, open houses and course selection. They also have an online presentation from Calgary Police Services about online safety. High school open house dates have started to be sent to us, this information is in the high school section below. We will try to put as many of the high school open houses here when we get the information.  

On Thursday we will have an activity afternoon to celebrate Hallowe’en. We will be hosting the first dance of the year in support of Terry Fox Foundation. STUCO (student council) will be selling treats and snacks to also support our Terry Fox Fundraiser. Students also have the option to pick other activities (Games room, cooking etc...). If students wish to dress-up Thursday, please remember that face masks cannot be worn at school, that pretend weapons need to stay at home, and that costumes must be in line with the school dress code and be safe, caring, and welcoming (no cultural stereotyping).  

Thank you for your continued support.  

Ms. Ko & Ms. Dalwood

High School (Grade 9’s): 

We are starting to plan for high school transitions. This will be ongoing between now and the start of March. We will put all information related to high school transitions in this section moving forward. If you have a student in grade 9, please check this information regularly.  

For parents with students going into Gr. 10 next year we will be holding in-person and virtual information sessions for parents during Parent Teacher Interviews. These sessions will give a brief overview of what you can expect over the next few months with regards to getting ready for high school, and will also provide time for Q&A. In the meantime, the CBE High School website is a great place to start to learn about high school information. You may also wish to visit the individual high schools’ websites.  

On Wednesday, November 27 we will have an in-person session in the Learning Commons at the school at 7:00-7:30pm.  

We will hold a repeat session online on Thursday, November 28, at 7-7:30pm. Link below.
