Ride'm Cowboy


The Dry Grad event, which was held at the Sechelt Aquatic Centre and the Seaside Centre went really well.  Thanks to Mr. Biel and the parents who pulled an all nighter so our grads could have a safe post-grad celebration.  Aside from swimming, laser tag and Gladiator, there was  Bull riding. The students really seemed to have a great time and the event finished with a prize draw.

Again, thank you to all of our volunteers for making it a great evening!

Have a great summer!

Last Day of Classes Today /Rotary Award to CSS

Congratulations to our students who have done so much for our greater community-- we received a Rotary Presidential Citation for the great work done this past year. Bravo!!!!


We had our last days of regular classes today and our exams are set for next week.  Due to the job action we have had to cancel our Grade 8 & 9 exams on the Monday and Tuesday.  If the strike is resolved this weekend students with incomplete assignments may come in and make up their work on these two days. If the strike ends the teachers of year end exams scheduled may opt to have students write their exams.  We will keep students posted via the website and our auto-dial system.

All provincial exams will proceed as regularly scheduled and we will have our graduation at the regular scheduled  date and time-- Wednesday, June 25th at 7:00 pm. 

I trust that everyone will have a nice weekend.

All the best to you and your families.

Mr. H

Update : Track Team at Provincials

Chatelech students Caleb Burnham, Jordan Wilson, Alex Nightingale, Josh Desrochers and Elliot Wadge were few, but clearly present at the recent BC High School Championships in Langley.

Junior boy Theo Kontekakis threw 13.12m in the 5k Shot Put earning a silver medal.

Chat's first EVER, and zone 5 champions, senior boys 4 x 400 relay team exploded out of the blocks, lost momentum at 300m, but were able to maintain and PB  time of 3.45.83.

800m runner Alex Nightingale blew off the first lap with a strong lead, drawing back on the second.
Grade 8 runner Elliot Wadge gave his all in the gruelling 3000m, surrounded by equally determined young men.

Athletes were exposed to high caliber, 'big school' competition and did not flinch.
Running coach Larry Nightingale and conditioning coach Mokie Burnham were thrilled with their performance.

What a fantastic way to finish off the season!!! Congratulations to the entire team.

Basketball Fun at Lunch



We continue to have a great turnout for pickup basketball, etc. at lunch.

Have a great evening.

Theo K wins Silver Medal at Provincials

Chatelech  put forth a solid effort at the provincials in Langley this weekend.

Theo Kontekakis won a silver medal in Shot Put and was excited to be part of so many top throwers.
CSS's  first ever 4 by 400 Senior boys Relay to make provincials  team started out strong, hiccuped at  300m, but maintained and ultimately ran a second faster than at the zones 3.45, not enough for the  finals.

800 and 3000 m runners ran with heart and ended up middle of the pack.

Congratulations to Caleb, Jordan, Alex, Josh, Theo and Elliot for representing our school with determination and a positive attitude.

Thanks also to coaches Larry Nightengale and Mokie Barbash-Burnam.  We appreciate your dedication to our student-athletes.  Bravo!!!
