Electric Energy at the Junior School Winter Athletic Assembly
The energy was electric at the Junior School’s Winter Term Athletic Assembly this past Tuesday. Pumping music set the perfect stage for our two fantastic student MCs: Maya Cammalleri from the U12 Volleyball team and Bradley Luckock from the U12 Basketball team who proudly introduced the six CDS teams that competed in the CISAA this term.
This winter season, our student-athletes dedicated themselves to rigorous practices and fierce competition across two volleyball teams, three basketball teams, and one hockey team.
Our Junior School athletes received praise for their hard work and willingness to consistently put forth their best efforts and be incredible teammates all season long. Whether they were contributing to their teams by scoring goals, making big plays, making saves, putting serves over the net, sinking baskets or cheering each other on, they gave it their all.
Reflecting on the recent Winter Olympic Games, we talked about how these athletes showed us resilience, which means getting back up even when things don't go perfectly. Most importantly, the Games remind us to be kind and respectful to everyone, showing that cheering for our teammates and friends is just as heroic as crossing the finish line first. They show us that everything we learn in sport can be applied to our everyday lives, helping us become good citizens and successful people.
Get Ready for the Spring Term!
While being a student-athlete requires a commitment, it is also a fun and rewarding experience with valuable life lessons imparted along the way. Next term, all Grade 4–6 students are highly encouraged to get involved and choose a team. Upcoming JS spring sports include:

Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
