Clubs
POINT GREY CLUBS 2023 - 2024
Clubs are a key component of any vibrant school. They provide opportunities for students to connect with peers who share similar interests. These interactions may form the basis for enduring friendships. Clubs also help students develop critical skills such as interpersonal communication, collaboration, initiative and tenacity.
Meetings
Clubs can meet before school, during lunch, or after school, and during Flexible Instructional Time (FIT) on Mondays and/or Fridays if their Club Sponsor is available.
