Congratulations to the Immaculata Golf Team on qualifying for Provincials. Immaculata finished second place at the Valley Championships with a team score of 331. The team was led by the low score of Sofia Camaal with 75. Followed by Jose Ortiz Martinez (84), Markus Hopley, Keegan McCoy (86), and Anna Hopley (88). The team will be travelling to Kamloops to play Rivershore Golf Links May 29-31. Be sure to wish the Mustangs luck. | |
It was a cold and windy day in Kamloops as our track and field athletes tried to qualify for provincials in Langley in two weeks. The cold affected some of the results the athletes had, however, four of our athletes did qualify for provincials. Georgia G. came third in triple jump, Luca D. second in the 100 m, Cole B. and Gryffin P. came second and third in grade 8 shotput, and Cole P. came second in Discus. | |

Congratulations to all the athletes!
On to provincials!

Cole P. placed 2nd in discus | |
Greorgia G, 3rd in triple jump. | |

Congratulations to the Sr. Soccer Girls on winning the Valleys Tournament which also sends them off to compete at Provincials in Vancouver in June. | |

FROM OUR ACADEMIC ADVISOR | |

The Opportunities Fund offers a program in Kelowna through Okanagan College in early June for anyone who self-identify as having a disability. The Hospitality Service Training cohort held at the Okanagan College – Kelowna campus, begins June 7. This eight-week training includes theory, demonstrations, and practical skill training in various areas of the hospitality industry and includes 40 hours of on-site work practicum experience. It is free for all eligible participants and would be great for anyone wanting to get into the hospitality industry or any customer service-oriented positions. If you are interested in hearing more about the program or have any questions, please contact Mrs. Griffin for more information.
