Olympic Medalist Visits Our School

Sue Holloway, a former Olympic medal winner, visited the school and spoke to the students on Friday afternoon. Sue was the first Canadian and the first woman in the world to compete in both the summer and winter Olympic games in the same year. She competed in both x-country skiing and canoe sprint. Sue won silver and bronze medasl at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, both in canoeing. Sue gave an inspirational speech about the importance of having a passion, setting goals to achieve your dreams and persevering, even when it gets tough. Students spent time following the assembly writing down some academic and personal goals for the year.
