Club/Activity Captains
Each co-curricular program, club or activity, including
athletics, has a student captain in a leadership role.
These captains, as selected through an application
and club election process, work directly with the
teacher-sponsor of that program, club, or activity to
provide support with the organization and running
of the activities, mentorship of younger students, and
leadership in creating new initiatives that will move
the club forward.
There are 20+ clubs to participate in with up to 2
Captains per club from Grade 11 and 12 (no
preference). Programs have 3-4 Captains from Grade
11 or 12 (no preference).
