Students may use the time for school research, to work on projects, to complete homework or for quiet reading. Students will have access to computers for academic research. A teacher supervisor and peer tutors will be available for limited assistance. Students must arrange their own transportation home. Students will be asked to sign in each afternoon, so that we can keep track of who is attending. Students are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to have a quiet environment to complete work. Only students who wish to use the time productively are welcome to attend. A student may be asked to leave if he/she is not working productively or is distracting other students.
- Attention all grade 5 and 6 hockey players attending South Hull, Lord Aylmer and Eardley Elementary schools:
Symmes and D’Arcy McGee High School will be hosting a 5 day Power Skating and Stick
Handling Hockey Camp during the Western Quebec School Board March Break. Our Power
Skating program focuses on proper body position, leg motion and muscle memory through
repetition. The best players are usually ones who can not only generate speed, but also do it with a
puck on their stick. Our Stick Handling program focuses on proper upper and lower body functions
in coordination with efficient timing. Repetition of these skills is important so that they stay engrained
in the muscle memory and become reactions you don't think about during the game. The cost of the
10 hour program is $75.00. All players will receive a Symmes-D’Arcy Hockey t-shirt and a stick
handling ball. To register please fill out the registration form below and send along with your
payment of $75 (cheque made payable to Symmes-D'Arcy McGee) as soon as possible as
registration will be on a first come first served basis. For more information please contact Rick
