National Soccer Tournament – Long-Standing Tradition

SoccerThis week in Vancouver, British Columbia, the Canadian Association of Independent Schools (CAIS) National Senior Boys Soccer Tournament takes place, hosted by St. Georges School. This is a premiere sports event for Canadian independent schools, having taken place for almost 30 years. Twenty teams from Canada’s east to west coast will be in Vancouver, host of the coming Winter Olympics, for the event.

Lower Canada College has participated since the tournament’s inception, having hosted early tournaments as its own. The players and coaches are excited to participate due both to the high level of soccer and the experience of traveling across a country to compete. The trip will serve to gel the side for the finish to its season. The LCC Lions sit in second place, perched for a solid playoff run in league play.

We travel Tuesday; game one is on Wednesday at noon, Pacific Time. Here we go!

Assistant Coach & P.E. Department Head

 

Sharing Global Perspectives in India

IMG_0140How fitting that LCC students arrived in India for the 2009 International Round Square Conference on the occassion of Ghandi’s 140th birthday.

Today is India’s official “Day of Non-Violence.” Wouldn’t it be great if the world celebrated this kind of day EVERYDAY!?

Field Day Builds Friendships

FieldDay2009Field day was an awesome day for the entire Junior School. Everybody got to participate and build friendships with members of their house. The team spirit and sportsmanship was evident, everyone was cheering loudly and enthusiastically for their teammates.

Whether it was jumping on a blow up pirate ship, dribbling a soccer ball while dressed in oversized clothing, balancing a tennis ball on a spoon, passing a giant ball from one teammate to the other or playing Pictionary, it was an enjoyable day and would not have been possible without the support and hard work of our teachers who planned this event.

Leading Woods House to a victory in the competition were Samuel Golberg and Olivia Hecht. Their good team work and effort brought gave them first place with 45 points. A round of applause should also be given to Beveridge and French house for coming in second and third. All participants should be congratulated for their hard work.

Other highlights of the day included the warm sun, the icy cold TCBY and the refreshing water sprayed on all of the students by Mrs. Rother!

Grade 5s Spread Their Wings

ClasseRouge_02Ma première journée de Classe Rouge s’est bien passée. L’escalade était très amusante. Mes parents me manquaient terriblement, mais la première journée est toujours plus difficile. La nourriture est délicieuse et saine. Nous dormons dans la Rafale. Il y a un beau salon. Ma chambre, la numéro 312 a deux étages, un lit double et trois lits simples.

Grade 5 Forest Adventure

ClasseRouge_01C’est la première journée de la classe rouge. What a great day ! J’ai fait de l’hébertisme dans la foret. These are activities high up in the trees with ropes and some team building activities in the woods. C’est vraiment excitant quand tu te balances sur des buches de trois mètres de haut. Et la nourriture est merveilleuse ! J’ai hâte a demain !
