Thank you to all of our participants who took part in our annual Terry Fox Run!  We would like to acknowledge some of our top runners. In first place was Ryan Goudron, followed by Charles Yu and Daniel Yu. Our top female runners were Jordyn Huitema, Emi Marsden, and Shankara Rajkumar. Our top staff runners were Mr. Einhorn, Mr. Mcilvaney, and Ms. Dunne and Ms. Campbell. This year we were able to raise $2802.  This makes Burnaby Central one of the top fundraising high schools in the district.  Thanks again to everyone who donated and took part in the run!  

Up next for the Leadership Class was hosting the Fall Sports Pep Rally and organizing a number of Holiday events such as Deck the Door, Basketball Intramural, Food Drive and Gingerbread House Event with our feeder schools.  The Food Drive was able to collect over 20 boxes of food for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank.  Our top donating classes were Ms. Thomson’s, Ms. Dunne’s, Mr. Shier’s, and Ms. Morabito’s.  The winner of our Basketball Intramural was Chicken Adobo.  With the team’s entry donation, we were able t raise over $60 for the Food Bank.  The winner of the Deck The Door contest was Ms. Dunne’s class with Mr. Kamiya, Mr. McIllvaney, Ms. Morabito and Ms. Kraemer’s class rounding out the top five.  Thank you to everyone who participated in our holiday events.  

The Senior Boys Rugby team will be playing Alpha in the BNWSSAA Banner Game on Wednesday May 17 at Burnaby Lake.  Lets see if they can repeat as district champs like they did back in Grade 8….

With the school year halfway over,  there are lots of exciting things going on at Burnaby Central.  Here is a quick update on a few of them:

Leadership Class – This year the class organized the annual Fall Team Pep Rally in the first week of November.  This year’s Christmas Projects included Gingerbread House Event with our neighbouring Elementary Schools, Food Drive, Deck the Door, and Santa Photos.

Rugby – The Grade 8 Team learned a lot in a short season.  Their season was highlighted by their wins over Byrne Creek and McRoberts.  Click on the Rugby Tab to get more information.  Senior Rugby Practice starts Feb. 10 (Juniors will start Mar. 5).

Intramurals – Co-Ed Volleyball (Senior and Junior Divisions) were competed on Dec. 3 with the Quack Pack and Elites winning their respective division.  In the Badminton Intramurals, Daniel Ho and Bio Yoon won the open division.  The Floor Hockey Intramural Championships begin in March 2015.
