Sports Shine at BSS
 Our Junior Boys’ Basketball team(pictured to the right) won the Bay of Quinte championship under the excellent coaching of Mrs. King. Our Swim team had an excellent meet at the Central Ontario level and 13 of our swimmers will be competing at the Ontario competition level. As well, 2 of our wrestlers and 3 of our competitive skiers will be competing at the Ontario competition level. All Bayside sports teams have done very well this season and we want to congratulate all athletes for their excellence.
Grade 8 Transition to BSS
There are many activities occurring at BSS to support Grade 8 students as they continue their transition to high school. In December and January, all Grade 8 students visited the high school a couple of times to see a guest speaker as well as participate in Technology Day. During the second week of January, our in school team visited the elementary schools to talk further about course programs and selections at BSS.
 On Thursday, January 28th, Grade 8 students visited BSS again to participate in an Orientation day. Students were paraded into the cafeteria as part of the Olympic theme chosen for the day with staff members applauding their arrival. After a multimedia presentation and discussion with student leaders, student groups visited different subject areas where they were involved in various competitions - many of them involving our interactive Smartboard technology at the school. The day ended with the Grade 8 students showing their strong spirit and enthusiasm. On the next evening, January 29th, Grade 7 and 8 students attended a dance to welcome students to the social side of the school. Students had an exciting time meeting students from other schools.
 The next major transition session will be held on Thursday, February 18th where all Grade 8 students and their parents are invited to attend our Grade 8 Parents’ Night. The session will start at 7:00 pm and go to approximately 9:00 pm. We are looking forward to further discussions with parents regarding their son’s or daughter’s transition to the high school.
Relief Effort for Haiti
The Global Awareness Committee at Bayside Secondary School is once again involved in helping those less fortunate. We have diverted funds from our “School in India” project and sent $500.00 to the Canadian Red Cross. These funds will go directly to Haiti and will be matched by the Canadian Government. We are also dedicating the month of February to fundraise for Haiti. We will be holding a sale and silent auction of student art work on February 19th, a penny drive, and a home form challenge. Any donations towards this endeavor can be contributed to the Global Awareness account at Bayside. Once again, our thanks go out to all students and staff who have demonstrated such leadership and caring during a time of need.
2008-2009 was an incredible year here at Bayside Secondary School!
