Netball Alberta Residency in PE Moved to June 15-19
We are pleased to offer netball instruction for all students through Netball Alberta during the week of June 15-19. This residency is possible through the generosity of the Woodlands School Council – it is free for all students.
Netball is a team sport played by two teams of seven players on a rectangular court with a goal at each end. The objective is to score by throwing the ball through a ring attached to a post, while preventing the opposing team from scoring. It involves passing, shooting, and strategic movement, with players assigned specific positions and movement restrictions.

Stampede Breakfast for Students and Families - June 24
We are very excited to be joined by the Calgary Stampede Breakfast Team on the morning of Wednesday, June 24 for an end-of year pancake breakfast.
We expect to begin serving students breakfast at about 8:40 AM by class, going youngest to oldest (Kindergarten to Grade 6). Family members of Woodlands students are invited to join us for breakfast. You can join your student in line as they are served with their class, or you may join the family line.
Their team will serve up pancakes (contain eggs, milk and wheat flour), syrup and sausages (contain pork). Please contact your child’s teacher if there are items at the breakfast that you would prefer they not eat. The Stampede team is not able to accommodate dietary restrictions.
Woodlands School Council will provide a juice box beverage on this day. You may wish to have your child bring a water bottle if they prefer to drink water with their breakfast.
