Students are encouraged to listen to announcements (which are printed and posted outside the Office) and take ownership over ensuring that they are aware of all practice and game times. The practice and games schedules are provided at the beginning of the season and are also posted on the Arbutus Athletics bulletin board near the Office. Please encourage your child to use these resources, but for reference, the schedules can be found at the following link:

Arbutus has a long history of involvement in local and school athletics. Our Athletic Director is Megan Peddie. Parents and community members who are interested in coaching or helping with Arbutus Athletics may contact Megan by telephoning the school or by emailing directly.
At the beginning of each sport season, your child will come home with a schedule of games and player agreement. Please have your child return the signed agreement as soon as they receive it.
To receive their Arbutus Athletics jersey, parents must pay a $50 deposit (via our online payment system) which will be refunded once the jersey has been returned. (Please contact School Principal Andrews if, due to your family’s financial circumstances, you’re unable to pay this deposit and other arrangements will be made so that all interested students can participate.)
The schedules are also posted on the office window and can be found at the following link – AGMS Avalanche team schedule
