Our Annual Spring Snow Valley Ski & Snowboard Trip

Our annual spring Snow Valley Ski & Snowboard trip was held on Thursday, March 13. The conditions were fabulous! As you can see, everyone had a blast! Our thanks to Snow Valley for their support for student rentals, lift tickets & lunch! A shout out to our staff - Alana, Armand, Derek, Tanys, Kaelei & Matt - who accompanied 20 students for a day on the slopes.

Push-Up Challenge Completed!

In February, some students at Inner City High School participate in our first Push-Up Challenge. Our Phys Ed teachers worked with participants to help them stay motivated and have fun. The Push-Up Challenge was a unique and fun way for our school to foster better mental health and wellbeing through physical activity, connection and bite-sized mental health facts.

Derek (left) and Francis (right) kick off the month’s challenge with prizes in the gym.

We awarded prizes to 2 student winners of the 'Push Up Challenge'. Connor (pictured) won the Toes Push-Up category with 650 pushups, and Shirley won in the Knee Push-Up category with 124 pushups. Both students won prizes that were handed out by Derek.

Students Tour MacEwan University

Grade 12s Visit MacEwan University…

Last week, a group of our grade 12 students had a private tour of the MacEwan campus with Inner City staff members Kelsey and Tanys. The youth saw the campus and learned about the services and unique things that MacEwan has to offer. After the main tour, the group had a look at the university's Indigenous centre, 'kihêw waciston'. Students met Jaycee (one of the Indigenous student advisors) who explained the various programs they provide to make the transition from high school to university a bit easier. We will be doing other school tours in the next few months, including U of A and NAIT!
