Thanks to 9 of our SH students coming out to Silver Wing last Saturday to play in the Foothills Academy qualifier - it was brilliant to see all our boys on the course and all had some terrific shots! Well done to Brett, Tyson, Aidan and Ryan for making the school team!

They played in the CISAA and zone qualifier for provincials last Monday at Redwood Meadows. It proved to be an excellent day of golf and camaraderie and the team represented themselves and Foothills Academy exceptionally well! Coach Toffolo was proud of their efforts!
