Athletic Centre Revitalization

I hope you enjoyed reading about the School’s exciting plans for the revitalization of the Athletic Centre in the latest issue of Focus.

This major refurbishment project will allow us to expand our Physical Education and Athletics program by converting the arena into a year-round facility. Dutton Memorial Arena will continue to be used as a hockey rink from September to March. For the remainder of the year, it will be converted to a field house with artificial turf replacing the much-improved NHL-sized ice surface. Our outstanding new indoor facility will prove invaluable to our community and hundreds of students, all playing different sports, will benefit. It will be inclusive and available to all.

We will also be able to provide direct entry to the Fitness Centre, which means we can offer members of the wider SJR community access to the Fitness Centre outside of school hours.

I am writing to invite you to attend one of our Parent Information Evenings where we will be presenting a detailed overview of our plans.

I hope you can join us. I look forward to sharing information with you and answering your questions.

SJR is proud to be accredited and affiliated with several local, national and international educational organizations.
St. John’s-Ravenscourt School was founded in 1820 principally to serve the children of the Selkirk settlers. By 1834 there were forty students, evenly split between boys and girls. SJR has inevitably grown and changed over the years since, though its success throughout has been unimpeachable. Today the programs are as strong as our reputation. A strong academic program is paired with an equally strong attention to the values of stewardship, ethical leadership, and excellence in all areas of academic, social and athletic life.
