So proud of our Sandy Hill Suns teams for racing at the Bateman parks over the last few weeks. The race is about 1 km but many kids sprint the entire way which is extremely difficult! Cross country runners will have an automatic invite to compete in the 800m race this spring at our track meet. Thank you for your commitment to running and for helping lead the Terry Fox run! Thank you parents for supporting your student-athletes in this. Thank you Madame King for helping coach these teams.

Halloween is just around the corner, and our schools are buzzing with excitement as students prepare to show off their creativity and enjoy some festive fun together. As we get ready to celebrate, it’s important that our events and costume choices reflect the values we share as a community: kindness, inclusion, and respect. 

Our annual Turkey Trot is back! Students ran laps with the turkey to collect thankful feathers to go on their classroom turkey.

We hope everyone has a restful Thanksgiving!

Our grade 4 and 5's had another great day at their cross country meet at Bateman Park. Well done students and thank you to our coaches!

Keep your children free from respiratory illnesses this winter 

As the weather gets colder and we spend more time indoors, we’re more likely to get sick with things like colds, flu or COVID-19 because these illnesses spread more easily in enclosed spaces.

You did it! Sandy Hill community we are so proud to say we have CRUSHED our goal! We have raised $2141.50. Thank you so much for your contributions. Thank you for remembering Terry; thank you for showing resilience and determination by running so hard today.

We had a beautiful day up at the Auguston fields playing soccer with our grade 5’s. Between our two teams we played six games; we were challenged, we made some great plays, we got lots of exercise and had a blast! 

On Friday September 26th staff and students wore their orange shirts in a show support to truth and reconciliation and to honour Indigenous peoples.

The school met on the upper field and formed a circle with our Indigenous Support Worker leading the group.

Reconciliation is not a destination but a process. We encourage you to discuss with your child(ren) what they have learned at school. 

Our school was treated to a presentation by Science World on "The Science of Sport." Students were thrilled to experience their first school presentation of the year. Please ask your child(ren) what they thought of it.
