ATHLETICS
Over the weekend the Stelly’s Junior Boys Volleyball team competed at the Camsoun Invitational Tournament and started off strong with a second place finish in pool play. In their first round of playoffs they defeated Belmont 2-0 to advance to the semi-finals, where they faced a strong Reynolds team. After a hard fought close battle, Reynolds was victorious (and later went on to win the tournament).
In the final match of the day against SMU, the Junior Stingers dominated with a convincing 25-12, 25-9 win to clinch the bronze medal! Well done team!!

There is also a QR code posted on the Grad board in the main foyer which also works to book your sitting.

Stelly’s Parent Dry Grad Committee needs a Treasurer and a number of other volunteers to make the magic happen for our Grads in 2026!
