Intermediate Boys Basketball

On the morning of Friday, May 1st, 2015, Greensborough P.S. held their Area Basketball Tournament. Greensborough had a total of four schools over to play. Greensborough's Intermediate Boys Basketball Team proudly beat Legacy P.S., Reesor Park P.S., and put up a huge fight against Cornell P.S., though they ended up losing to them. They then traveled to Sam Chapman P.S., where they participated in the Semi-Finals and beat Wismer P.S. After that successful game, they once again got matched  up against Cornell and beat them—both entering and exiting the game with their chins held high and their peers, coaches, and overall teamwork to thank.

Following those successful matches and winning the Finals, they went to Regionals, held on Thursday, May 7th, 2015, which featured the very best public school basketball teams from York Region. Unfortunately, from there, they were matched up against some pretty tough teams, though they fought as hard as they could to end the season well.

Our very own Greensborough Intermediate Boys Basketball Team played amazingly well, and adapted strategies from each and every team they fought against to weave their way to the top.

Their coaches, including Ms. Schreiber, Mr. Hambly, and Mr. Withers, are extremely proud of every single person on the team, and their outstanding performances at these games.

WE Change Team

Together We're Better Conference

Together We’re Better

Written by: Alana

On Friday April 24th, a few intermediate students from Greensborough Public School had the opportunity to attend a conference called “Together We’re Better” with one of our 7th grade teachers, Mrs. Kanhai. This conference addressed awareness about anti-racism, human rights issues and many conflicts we face today. The attendees had the opportunity to:

• promote anti-racism
• recognize issues and situations related to race relations
• discover effective strategies for dealing with conflicts
• develop communication and problem solving skills
• strengthen the levels of trust, empathy, and positive feelings for others
• understand that all Canadians have a right to full participation in our society today

Some of the interactive workshops that the students participated in examined stereotypes and allowed students to explore and deconstruct messages in society and the media.

Overall, it was a fantastic opportunity for our students. Our school would love to attend this conference again next year!

Pitch in Week

Pitch-in week

Written By: Achal

Hey Gators! Last week was pitch-in week! Pitch-in week is all about picking up garbage from all around our community to make our area a greener place. Each class was given the opportunity to go around our neighbourhood and pick up some garbage. Mme. Cheung organized the event. “It was amazing how much garbage we’re able to drop,” says a grade 8 student in Mr. Hambly’s class. “It really is something we should be more aware of, especially if we want to keep this earth in good shape for generations to come.” 

This amazing event makes people so much more aware about how we treat our earth, and makes us want to help make our world a better place to live in, not only for us, but for animals too. Because of the litter we cause, animals are dying. We are the reason as to why there is so much litter on the ground, the reason as to why there is so much pollution, and the reason as to why there might not even be many more future generations to come. We are doing this to ourselves, and pitch-in week made some of us realize this. We should be picking up garbage anytime we can, because if we work together, we can definitely make our world a better place to live in. 

Congratulations to our Integrity Award Winners!
