Hawaiian Luaus

Perhaps in a desperate bid for nicer weather, CHSS recently held back to back dances with a Hawaiian theme. On Thursday and Friday there was a dance for the high school and one for the grade 6, 7, and 8s from our feeder schools with over 350 attending.

Grade 8 Student and Parent Night

The Grade 8 Student and Parent Night on the calendar will be taking place on Tuesday, January 17th with a snow date of Wednesday, January 18th. The spaghetti dinner begins at 5:00 and runs until 6:15.  An interactive tour of the school begins at 6:30 and finishes in the cafeteria at 8:30 where refreshments will be served and prizes can be won.

 

"Dear Grade 8 Me"

ICT Specialist High Skills Major Students have produced a video entitled "Dear Grade 8 Me". This video is intended to provide students in grade 8 real advice from senior students who have been in their shoes. Their hope is to alleviate some of their worries while they make the transition from elementary to secondary school.

 

CHSS Annual Tech Days on November 23 and 25th!

It is hard to believe that Tech Day is upon us once again! This is a day when we invite grade 8 students from our surrounding schools into Central Huron Secondary School for half of a day. During their stay with us, students have the option to choose 2 different hands on tech workshops to participate in. It is a fabulous opportunity for students to test out a tech program early, meet the fantastic tech staff and learn from spectacular senior student mentors.
This year, as in previous years, students will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of wonderful workshops. We look forward to working with all of the students that participate!

Junior Boys Annual Elementary Feeder School Tournament Part Two – Blyth and Clinton Public

Recently, the CHSS Junior Boys volleyball team hosted another Elementary School Invitational tournament in our large gym, this time it was the boys from Blyth and Clinton Public Schools that came for a friendly round robin tournament. Nine games, three teams, countless serves, sets, digs, spikes, prizes and two and-a-half hours later the 2011 Invitational was over for another year. Although no one beat the CHSS Juniors, some of the elementary players proved that they are already ready for the next level, and we hope they will try out for the CHSS team next September when they come to Central Huron to start grade 9.

Once again the 2011 Junior Boys Volleyball team would like to thank Mr. Kuiper, Lexi Cook, Elanna Wicks, and Kelsey Cameron for taking all the pictures and the student’s council for supplying some prizes.  Mr. Taylor would like to thank the Junior Boys Volleyball team for being referees, scorekeepers, linesmen and positive ambassadors for CHSS.  We are proud of them all!

CHSS Junior Boys Volleyball Team Hosts Annual Elementary Feeder School Invitational

Recently, the CHSS Junior Boys volleyball team hosted their annual Elementary School Invitational tournament in our large gym with two of our feeder schools, Huron Centennial and Seaforth Public School. This fun round robin tournament is part of our school’s plan to help local grade 6, 7, and 8 students make the transition from elementary to secondary school. Hopefully, this event will help them prepare for the jump to CHSS that they will have to make in the next few years, for some as early as next September.

This year’s CHSS Junior Boys Volleyball team has 12 players that used to play for Seaforth and Huron Centennial, so they were excited to play against their old schools. Throughout the morning we saw lots of good digs, sets, spikes, and serves as the teams battled it out on the volleyball court. Although no one beat the CHSS team, there were lots of great plays made by the young lads from Seaforth and Huron Centennial that prove that some of them will be ready to try out for next year’s CHSS team.

We would like to thank Mr. Kuiper, Lexi Cook, Elanna  Wicks, and Kelsey Cameron for taking all the pictures, the student’s council for supplying some prizes, and the Junior Boys Volleyball team for being referees, scorekeepers, linesmen and positive ambassadors for CHSS.  We are proud of them all!
