Season Recap

In the 2024-25 basketball season, H.I.S. STORM fielded teams in both the Female/Female-Identifying (F/FI) and Male/Male Identifying (M/MI) divisions.

Whether in regular, playoff, or tournament games, our teams worked hard and represented the school well.

In the Maritime Independent League (MIL) tournament, both teams placed second.

In the HRCE league, the F/FI team went 6-0 in regular season play. They advanced all the way to the playoff semi-finals before experiencing their first loss!

We are grateful to coaches Joseph, Jill, Whitney, and Geoff, and to guest instructor and local basketball coach Milo Gray. Coaches and players alike are thankful for the support of their families and are already eagerly anticipating the 2025-26 season.

Go STORM!

CONGRATULATIONS

This year, our Female/Female Identifying (F/FI) volleyball team welcomed five new players for a roster of 12. Coached by Leigh-Ann and assisted by Sara, the young team showed amazing dedication to learning and refining skills. They had some fantastic games, regularly going point-for-point with higher-ranking teams. This group consistently balanced “finding the fire” with maintaining composure during high-pressure matches. They supported one another on the court so consistently that spectators noticed and commended them for it. While they ultimately lost to the team ranked #1 entering playoffs, we’re so proud! Their performance this season reflected team sport at its best.

Congratulations to all of these athletes

To our current Grade 9 players – you will be missed!

NO MATTER WHAT

With determination and compassion, our students laced up their sneakers and ran, knowing their efforts were making a difference. Together, our students and their generous sponsors raised $1,145 to support cancer research! The energy and enthusiasm on run day were inspiring, as students cheered each other on and embraced the enduring spirit of Terry Fox’s “Marathon of Hope”.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to our volunteers and to everyone who donated in support of this such a meaningful cause.

Continue to support the cause and donate to the Terry Fox Foundation!

STUDENT LEADER | MULTI-AGE FUN

Our MS7-9 students recently took the lead in organizing two successful and fun-filled field days for the elementary students.

From planning age-appropriate activities to guiding younger students through each event, our MS student leaders modelled preparedness, leadership, and kindness.

Together, they delivered two afternoons of excitement, teamwork, and smiles all around. It was a wonderful opportunity for the older students to demonstrate responsibility, and they truly rose to the occasion.

Thank you, Middle Schoolers!

3rd-PLACE FINISH OVERALL

Our students showcased their athletic spirit at the Maritime Independent League (MIL) Cross-Country Meet, competing against local independent schools. Our entire upper elementary group took on the course, resulting in an afternoon of camaraderie, personal bests, and plenty of school pride. We are proud of their accomplishments and the strong sportsmanship they demonstrated throughout the meet.

We’re thankful for the support of the teachers and families who cheered them on every step of the way!
