We are waiting for the Alberta government to confirm our anticipated fee for Cross-country. Once it has been confirmed, the school will contact you to let you know when to pay for your child’s participation in cross-country. The anticipated fee is $50.00 covering uniforms, athletics fees, and transportation, see coaches for a complete breakdown of fees.
We will be offering optional team clothing, with prices to follow.
Additional costs will also apply for students qualifying to attend the provincial championship in Medicine Hat to cover transportation.
If you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards,
