Term 3

Track & Field

Track and field is one of our biggest sports at St. George’s Junior School.  All boys are welcome and encouraged to participate; no previous experience is required. Track is all about growth, improving upon personal bests, and building physical literacy skills. Whether your son decides to participate in the running, jumping, or throwing events, his athleticism will benefit from taking part in track and field.
Practices begin the first week back at school after Spring Break. Boys should attend at least one practice per week for each of the events they would like to compete in. Practices conclude in late May.

St. George’s Junior School participates in four track meets each season. Sign-up process and participation depend on the meet.

The Junior School Golf Program runs in April and May and is open to boys in Grades 5 and 6. This program includes eight sessions at Musqueam Golf & Learning Academy, where students receive instruction and practice with two C.P.G.A. instructors. Sessions will focus on the short game practice area, mini-putt, and driving range.
The Golf Program takes place on Tuesdays, starting after Spring Break. Transportation to Musqueam is provided. Students must board the bus by 3:25 pm. and should proceed directly after the final bell. Pick-up at Musqueam is at 4:55 pm. Families are responsible for pick-up, and it is essential that students are collected on time, as supervision is not available beyond 5:00 p.m.
Space is limited to 11 students per grade. If interest exceeds capacity, an electronic draw will be used to determine participants. Those not selected will be placed on a waitlist.
