 JAPAN FRIENDSHIP EXCHANGE – Journey is hosting 22 students from Natori, Japan from March 28th-April 2nd.

For almost two decades Journey has had a friendship agreement with the city of Natori. Every two years students from Journey and grade nine students from EMCS have the opportunity to travel with some of our teachers to Japan. On the alternating year we have the opportunity to host them in Sooke.

If you are interested in hosting we ask that the visiting student have a room of their own and that you welcome them by sharing our culture and language. For more information please contact Ms. Kelly Dvorak at kdvorak@sd62.bc.ca

 

EXPLO 2019 – Journey’s All-Day Exploratory is coming up soon – Tuesday, February 12th. On Monday and Tuesday of next week students participating in activities with a permission form and/or fee will be meeting with their All-Day Exploratory teacher during advisory to submit forms and fees.

 

DISTRICT DAY WITH THE VICTORIA ROYALS – Our school district is proud to promote ‘District Day with the Victoria Royals’ again this year!  This is a great family event, as our district partners with the Victoria Royals hockey team for a game in March.  The game will be on March 1, at the Save On Foods Memorial Arena in Victoria, as the Royals host the Prince George Cougars.  Here are some of the perks offered to us:

  • Chuck-A-Puck
  • 50/50 partial proceeds
  • On-ice band/choir performance and anthem
  • Face painting
  • Prize give-aways
  • Our logo splashed across all the screens

Tickets to the game will be sold online, utilizing a special PROMO code available to District 62 families and friends.  This code should be available to us at some point next week, so please stay tuned for more information…
