Reunion Night Brings Together Junior and Senior Students

During Outdoor Education week in the fall, students in Grades 7, 8 and 12 attend Kilcoo Camp. This year’s Reunion Night was a chance for the older and younger students to reconnect and strengthen the spirit of community they developed at camp.

The evening kicked off with a giant game of "Who stole the Grizzly?" (in the spirit of the game "Clue"). Grads dressed up as a variety of characters, from Santa Claus to Mr. Hardy and Lub, and the Grade 7s and 8's travelled around in their cabin groups with their counsellors, trying to figure out who stole Chief. In the end, a quick-witted group of Grade 8 boys from Cabin 17 deduced that the culprit was Justin Bieber and his motive was that he was jealous of Chief's “flow” (aka, hair).

After wrapping up the first game, the Grade 8s headed upstairs for a House competition involving a fast-paced game of Pictionary, while the Grade 7s competed in their Houses in a scavenger hunt for locker and school-related items.

The night ended with pizza, a slideshow from Kilcoo and of course, Bon Jovi. Jamie Varley and Emma Heeney (Head Boy and Girl) spoke to the Grade 7 and 8 students about the importance of developing a bond between the senior and junior grades. Jamie reflected on how much fun he has had getting to know the younger students this year and how he hopes that they will choose to give back to the school community when they are grads.

Thank you to all who participated in the event! I think it goes without saying that it was a success! Next up for the Grade 7s, 8s and 12s will be the Grade 7/8 Dance on Friday, December 5. Click here to pick up your tickets.
