EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES & CLUBS 

Although not a comprehensive list, these are some of the activities that are provided at École Viscount Alexander.  These may vary from year to year.

Breakfast Program

Healthy food choices are provided each morning from 9:10 a.m. to 9:18 a.m. for students who require a supplement to their breakfast at home.  The program is open to all students.

GSA Club

The GSA club celebrates sexual orientation and gender diversity.  The GSA club is open to all students in Grades 5-8.  The GSA club is working to build a community that is safe for all students regardless of their sexual orientation and gender identity.  Students have worked on fundraisers, awareness campaigns, Pride celebrations, discussion groups and participated in workshops with local community organizations.  The GSA club is a club in constant evolution and is always finding new ways to celebrate diversity in the community and at École Viscount Alexander.

EVA Running Club

Every year at Viscount we offer a Running Club during the warmer months of the school year. This year we ran in the months of September and October and we start up again from April to June. Students from all grades are welcome to join! We run a route near the scenic Wildwood Golf Course that is approx 3km. It’s a great opportunity to get some exercise, enjoy the fresh air and to connect with other students and staff in the school. It’s fun to run!

Grade 5/6 Sports

Here at EVA, we offer grade 5/6 students the opportunity to develop their skills and understanding of various sports in a developmental atmosphere.  Students will have the opportunity to participate in two tournaments over the course of each season to put what they have practiced, into play.  We start off the year by offering flag football, volleyball and basketball, and then continue this trend with Ultimate Frisbee and Outdoor Track Water Polo is also offered to Gr. 6-8 students. Students can learn about a sport they have never played before or continue to progress in this supportive environment.

Grade 7/8 Sports

Here at EVA, we offer students of any grade level the opportunity to participate in a variety of division sports including Volleyball, Basketball, Badminton, Indoor Track, Outdoor Track, Ultimate Frisbee and Water Polo.  There is always something to do for athletes at every ability level.  Students are formed into teams and offered the opportunity to participate in a league that is appropriate for their skill level to further their abilities and to encourage growth.  Weekly practices and games, in addition to tournaments, allow students to progress substantially over the course of any given season.

Intramurals

Students at EVA are offered the opportunity to participate in the Intramurals program that is offered during the lunch hour.  Students can form their own teams and compete against other teams at sports such as indoor soccer, touch football, basketball, handball and floor hockey, amongst others.  Intramurals start in September and run through until May, when they are encouraged to take advantage of the nice weather and play outdoors.  It is a great way for students to be active in a social atmosphere.

Walk-a-thon

In October, students here at EVA participate in a Walk a thon.  The funds that are collected go towards subsidizing the cost of field trips, technology, clubs, programming, athletics programs, and enriching their experience here at EVA.
