Rugby & Hydro Seeding



The outdoor fitness park was hydro-seeded today. Hopefully the grass will take well and the area will be useable soon.

As you can see from the PHSS sign we have a Junior Rugby game against Argyle , this Thursday, starting at 11:45 am. The students have worked hard so the game against a more experienced Argyle should be a good test for us. If you have some free time come out and support our team.

Mr. Burns & Making Solutions

Mr. Burns is the handy work of one of our students, while the other photo has some grade 11 Chemistry students making solutions.



Fright Fest a Success

Scary movies and a variety of fun activities were provided as part of the PHSS Fright Fest, hosted by our Leadership class. Everyone seemed to enjoy the evening and overall it was a huge success.

Thanks to Mr. Mocellin and Miss Mullins for working with our students to make this event such a success!



Brooks Secondary visits PHSS in Girls' Junior Volleyball




Former SD46 Principal, Jay Yule (currently Superintendent of Powell River) brought the Brooks Secondary Girls' Grade 8 team to the Sunshine Coast for a series of games, starting with PHSS yesterday afternoon. The more experienced Brooks team was a strong team, but our girls (grade 7 & 8 students)held their own but lost the match.

Well done ladies. Thanks to Ms. Mullins for coaching the team!

Mr. Walls' Science & Technology students were trying to determine torque in an experiment today. They measured the force acting on an object which caused that object to rotate.

Well done!

Hockey & Hot Lunch



Our students stay active at lunch, sometimes playing floor hockey. The picture above shows them in action. We will be starting our intramural floor hockey program once volleyball season ends.

As you can see from the second picture we have Hot Lunch on Wednesdays. This reminder comes via a suggestion I got at our last PAC Meeting. Hot lunch is always $4 and any money made goes to the PAC or the Grad class.
