Dear Journey Families

Recently we have heard from many community members about an interest in creating a Soccer Academy for grades 7 & 8 at Journey Middle School.  EMCS has a well established and successful soccer academy that challenges and supports students following their passion is soccer.  We are at the initial stages of gauging interest for an academy at Journey Middle School.  Please take a moment to fill out the survey below with your thoughts.

Thank you,

We acknowledge the traditional territories of the Coast Salish: T’Sou-ke Nation and Sc’ianew Nation and Nuu-chah-nulth: Pacheedaht Nation. We also recognize some of our schools reside on the traditional territory of the Esquimalt Nation and Songhees Nation.

This free event is from 11-3 on Saturday November 22nd at Camp Barnard and is open to all youth in grade 6-9 regardless of gender, background, ability, citizenship, sexuality, or religion.

As we need to ensure we have sufficient supplies and Scouters available, we are asking for RSVPs at https://forms.office.com/r/6iTNmerLR2?origin=lprLink or by following the QR code on the flyer itself.

Families can contact me directly for any questions at 1stsooke@scouts.ca

Hello Journey Families,

This email is to remind families about our Bullying Information Session coming up this month.

This event is organized in response to parents request for more information and support around cyber bullying and bullying. We encourage parents to put this date on their calendars and please RSVP for the event. The presentation is an opportunity to learn about cyberbullying and safe online practices as well address general bullying issues at Middle Schools.  The event is supported by Safe Schools Together ( https://saferschoolstogether.com/ ), SD62 Safe Schools Team/Administration, Journey Administration, Sooke RCMP and our Journey PAC.  We hope that the information presented will support families with behavior and/or cyber bullying concerns and answer any questions about school procedures and responses to bullying and the disciplinary actions within our code of conduct.
