Note: We will be moving to a 5 day week calendar next year. It’s picked up a nickname “Hybrid” calendar because the 5 day week schools get more Fridays off than they used to and the 4 day week schools will have less Fridays than they are accustomed to. The school day will be lessened a little. More to come as things progress. Mr. Gilmore

Jr. Badminton
To meet the needs of our students
and community we have re-
vamped our junior Academic
Achievement Award to reflect the
changes in our marking scale. M
now means MASTERED and A
now means ATTAINED. The old
Academic Achievement Award of
the past couple years will now be
split into two awards. One will
remain essentially the same with
the new scale language: all M’s
and A’s. The second award will be
for our high academic achievers
who try to acquire 80% M’s. Specif-
ic qualifications and subjects are
in this newsletter. Please check
them out.
Junior Badminton is well
underway! We have 20
grade 8 & 9 athletes com-
peting this season. Our
season is packed with
tournaments. We have
already attended a tour-
nament in Midale with
the teams playing well for
the first time out. Our
t o u r n a m e n t d a t e s
are: March 28th – Yellow
Grass, April 18th – Home
tournament, and April
25th WJH. We will end
the season with Pre-
districts in Gladmar on
April 28th. From there
the top two teams ad-
vance to Districts in Ox-
bow on May 2nd. Good
Luck to all the players!
Guest Speaker Chris Koch RRHS hosted guest speaker Chris Koch on March 10. Chris is an
inspirational speaker that’s spreading the “If I Can …” message.
Chris was born without legs and arms. Even though he was faced
with this challenging obstacle , Chris and his family never let this
stop him. While in Radville Chris talked about his experiences ,
showed the audience pictures of where he has travelled, and vide-
os. Chris told everyone that you need to have a good sense of hu-
mour and be able to laugh at yourself. Chris was definitely an
inspiration to everyone!

The Rookie Girls had a fantastic
basketball season this year. We
played home and away games
with Weyburn Jr. High,
Gladmar, Stoughton and St.
Mike’s. We also attended a tour-
nament in Gladmar and hosted
the district tournament here in
Radville. The girls finished
their season 2nd at districts los-
ing by only 3 points in the final
game!
We would like to thank all the
refs and scorekeepers who
helped with our home games,
also the parents for driving to
games, bringing food items and
working the canteen at our dis-
trict tournament.

Five leadership students from RRHS attended a great conference in Weyburn. Horizons is a one-day regional
conference bringing excellent keynote presentations and help to student councils and advisors. Horizons, in Con-
junction with The Canadian Student Leadership Association is committed to providing leadership training to
more students and advisors across the country. Inspirational and motivational speakers were front and centre,
such as Andy Thibodeau and Nick Foley.
“ The Horizon Leadership conference was amazing! We learned a lot of very useful and creative methods.`` Alysa
“The conference in Weyburn was very enjoyable. I have taken many of the positive ideas back home with me and hope to
try new ideas within the school.” Vanessa C.
The Horizons Leasership Conference was honestly the best way I could have spent one of my last Fridays off. I got so many
great ideas that I hope to use and learned a lot form Andy, Nick and Gramps.” Jaelyn
“ I think I speak for everyone who went to the conference, when I say, that everyone had a great time. We got to come up
with new ideas that could really help with the school in he near future. Next year I am going to jion the SLC for sure” Emma
“It was a great way to learn some new things!” Seth
This year at R.R.H.S. we had
17 talented students from
Grades 7-9 come out to join
the boys’ basketball teams.
There were seven students in
Grade 7: Ashton B., Hayden
B., Blair G., Conor H., Cody
L., Koltin L. and Cooper M. In
Grade 8 there was: Gavin D.,
Haydon H., Jonah L., Rylan
N., Kyle P. and Tyler W.. The
grade 9s were represented by:
Luke K., Garrett L., Seth M.
and Ty S.
Throughout the year the boys
played as one big team be-
cause of other commitments.
This allowed the team to al-
ways have a full roster to play on
any night. The team played home
and away games with Gladmar,
WJH and St. Mikes. As the year
progressed the team gained con-
fidence and skill and always rep-
resented Radville Regional High
School with great sportsmanship
and dedication.
March 12th, the Rookies (Grade
7s with 2 Grade 8s) headed to
Fillmore coached by Mickaela N.
and Mr. Brinklow. They played
very well and each game they
improved in skill and determina-
tion. They represented R.R.H. S.
very well but fell short in wins
against Maryfield and Redvers to
place 4th overall.
The Juniors (Grade
8 and 9s) headed to Stoughton on
March 12th coached by Mrs. Pirio
and assistant coach Mackenzie
La. They played very well but
found it hard to sink enough bas-
kets to win their first game
against Gladmar. Their next
game versus Carlyle they won
placing them 3rd at Districts.
The team would like to thank all
the coaches, refs, scorekeepers
and parents who helped them
build skill, sportsmanship and
have fun. It was a great season
of basketball.
