Kelowna Trip

For more information about the Kelowna Tournament, look at the Kelowna Tournament Info website on the right side of this page.

Feb.20th Update - We received an invite to the 2013 Immaculata Sweet 16 tournament today! Set your plans accordingly!:)


Jan.31 - Message to Parents
Regarding the handout sent home with the girls - the intent was to keep everyone informed about what our plans were (copies for parents and students were made).  The Code of Conduct might better have been labelled 'Expectations for this trip'.  I apologize for the insensitivity I portrayed - naturally I would never send any of the girls home on the bus alone - they would never deserve that kind of action.  I have spent the last several weeks thinking and planning for a great week of basketball and fun for the girls, and I have no doubt that they are all going to be on their best behavior.  I would never have agreed to go under any other circumstances.


So please accept my apologies - signing the Form is not a requirement for travelling with the team.  It was intended to make the girls think about appropriate behavior not as a threat!  Perhaps, if the title had been different and no signatures required, we could all have accepted it as appropriate information, so that is the way it should be read and nothing more!  Feel free to pull the offending page from the doc if necessary and I hope the girls can use the rest of the information for their own knowledge as we get ready to depart tomorrow morning!
