 Looking for donations of Golf Clubs
Our Physical Education and HPAD program is currently looking to expand our golf unit, and we are asking for your help. If you have any golf clubs at home that are still in good condition and no longer being used, we would greatly appreciate your donation.

Donated clubs will be used by students during our golf activities to help them learn basic skills and enjoy the game. Having a variety of clubs available allows more students to participate and gain hands-on experience.

If you would like to donate, please ensure the clubs are in good shape and safe for student use. Donations can be dropped off at the Main Office at your convenience.

Thank you for supporting our Physical Education and HPAD programs and helping provide meaningful learning opportunities for our students.

Sincerely PE & HPAD Team
