With the generous help from 9 other chaperones, Ms. Brochu & Ms. White Baillie took 88 students to sing and dance throughout Victoria. The highlights of the trip were choral performances for students at St. Andrew’s HS, Queen of Angels elementary & JH, Claremont Secondary, and Stelly’s HS, as well as a performance at St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church. In addition to touring the beautiful city of Victoria, the students took in a stunning performance of Maria Stuarda put on by the Pacific Opera Company. We are so proud of our students , as they performed exceptionally well and were wonderful ambassador’s of BGHS.

The snow has barely cleared off the fields and all of our spring sports teams are back in action. Grandin is fielding an impressive number of spring teams again this year including Senior Girls’ Rugby, Senior Girls’ Field Hockey, Senior and Junior Boys’ Soccer, and Senior and Junior Boys’ Rugby. We also have a large number of students lacing up to participate in Track and Field events in the coming weeks as well. Please check our website for times and locations of games. Our home field is currently being refurbished, so all of our games are “away” games. Please come out and support our great Grandin Ghosts.

Councillor Pincott graciously gave the team a gift of cowboy hats. The team is widely recognized by the wearing of cowboy hats at competitions, so the new hats are extremely welcomed.
