A HUGE congratulations to Jonah Brost who competed at the BC Cross Country championships this weekend in Vancouver. Jonah raced in freezing temperatures to place 20th out of 271 competitors in the junior boys race! Fantastic job-well run!
A huge accomplishment and recognition deserving a MASSIVE SHOUT OUT to gr 10 student, Kathy He ! This past weekend at the UVic Model UN conference, Kathy beat all other schools in her committee to win TOP POSITION PAPER! This is especially notable for the following reasons; Kathy is only in grade 10 and competing against 11's, 12's and UVic Model UN delegates/students, also due to some botch ups with registration, Stelly's only received their country delegation two days before the conference; therefore, they had to research AND write a maximum two page position paper representing their country's stance on the issue at hand in less than THREE days! Also, our delegation have few editors, coaches or tutors and yet they compete each year against private schools who do have much staff support, coaching, editing etc! Oneresolution paper regarding transparency regarding nuclear programs globally, was entirely conceived, written and proposed by a Stelly's alliance between countries. Wow!
Did you know that at various high school and University Model UNs around the globe, various resolution papers and proposals are frequently sent to the REAL United Nations? How cool is that?
Ms. Lizama's Spanish class rocked their "LATINO" Fashion show!
Last week Stelly's student, Emma Jolliffe was invited to a celebration of Team BC Athletes and Coaches to celebrate the success of Team BC Athletes and Coaches who participated in the 2017 Canada Summer Games and 2017 North American Indigenous Games.

Emma brought home 3 Gold medals and 1 Silver for swimming at this year’s North American Indigenous Games in Toronto in the summer.
