Badminton

Congratulations to the school Badminton Team, which won the South Conference Championship against Palmerston in the battle of the "Panthers". The team had something to prove when they lost to Palmerston during the regular season. In a re-match at the Conference Finals, the girls and boys from Brown won by a score of 3-2. The team advanced to the City Semi-Finals and faced an extremely difficult opponent. Even though the team didn't get past the Runnymede Lions, the team managed to hold their heads up high as they accomplished many great things this year.

Good luck to our Grade 6 students who will be moving on to their new school next year. Hopefully they'll continue playing Badminton in the near future.

Coaches: Mme Clouthier, Mme MacQuarrie, Mme Ngyuen and Mr. Profiti

Primary Lunchtime Sports Program

The Primary Lunchtime Sports program is in full gear with approximately 180 students in Grade 1, 2 and 3 signing up. The students have been divided into 10 teams. Each team has been given a team name such as "Elephants", "Stingrays" and "Jaguars". The classroom teachers each have a schedule. Each team will play eight different times between now and the end of April. Lunchtime Sports takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 12:00p.m.

Ice Hockey

The 2012 Ice Hockey season got off to a great start at the UCC Under 12 Tournament. The team competed against some very strong teams and managed to play their way into the Silver Cup Final.

The regular season got off to a bit of a slow start with two losses in the first two games. The team was able to turn things around and finish the regular season off with three straight wins thus securing a spot in the play-offs. The quarter final opponent was Northlea PS a team that lost only once during their regular season. A couple of "lucky" goals by Northlea put the team from Brown in a tough position to get out of but the team showed great resilience and dominated the rest of the game. Unfortunately we couldn't get one more goal past their goalie and the team lost by a score of 3 - 2.

A big thank you to all the parents whose support was always present at each and every game. Congratulations to the team on a great season and we wish the graduating Grade 6 students the best of luck and say thank you for your outstanding years of play on the team.

Mr. Ellis, Jonah Weslak and Mr. Profiti
