Barriere Secondary School Principal’s Report for the week of Nov. 13.
Earlier this week, both Junior Girls’ Volleyball teams competed in the playoffs. Both teams played well and showed the incredible improvement that they made over the course of the season. The Grade 7 team also played at Pac Way and won five of six sets! Their final game will be on Tuesday, Nov. 21.
The school held a short celebration for the Boys’ Volleyball team as the players headed to the Okanagan championships in Lumby. The hallway pep rally was a small way to recognize the players and wish them luck at their games.
This weekend there is an opportunity for students to volunteer setting up the Christmas lights and decorations at the Fair Grounds. Interested students should arrive on Sunday, Nov. 26 at 10 a.m. and speak with Mrs. Mairs when they arrive.
Upcoming Calendar Dates:
Tuesday, Nov. 21: Report Cards Published
Wednesday, Nov. 22: Photo Retake Orders are due
Wednesday, Nov. 22: Health and Wellness Fair

The Health and Wellness Fair is coming up, and Barriere Secondary School is pleased to partner with the Simpcw Health and Wellness department to offer students three information sessions as a part of Addictions Awareness week.
Students will attend sessions that address the topics of the impacts of vaping and tobacco use; recognizing pathways to addiction, including gaming and cellphone use; and the vulnerability of socio-economic and marginalized groups and rates of addiction.
John Tyler is the principal of Barriere Secondary School.
