Message from Elton Collegiate
We are off to another great start at Elton! Our enrollment continues to climb. We are up to 152 students now. We welcomed over 40 grade 9’s this year, along with some other new students in other grades. The students are settling into their classes, and everything seems to be going really well. The school has a really nice “feel.” Elton is a great place to be!
We are offering a few classes that we haven’t offered in a while, or some that we have never offered including Exercise Science, Current Topics in Indigenous Studies, Agriculture, and Global Issues. Our compulsory courses are divided into two sections to optimize teacher-student ratios.
We have a variety of groups and clubs that students can join at Elton. One of those is the SRC (student representative council). This is an opportunity for kids to get involved in student government and have some input into school events and activity planning. The SRC have already held their first couple of meetings. We also offer Youth in Philanthropy and a drama club.
Sports are underway already. We sent a golf team to Neepawa for the zone golf championship. We have four volleyball teams that have already started practicing. Our senior girls team competed in the Gilbert Plains tournament and placed 4th. Here are our home tournament dates:
Sep. 20&21 – Senior Girls
Sep. 27&28 – JV Girls
Oct. 18&19 – Senior Boys
Oct. 26 – JV Boys
Our Undergrad Awards are taking place on Tuesday, Sep. 24 at 2:30 p.m. in the gym. Everyone is invited! Our open house will follow from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. We hope to see you there!
