In September 2009, the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board implemented a Voluntary, Confidential Self -Identification procedure. Self-Identification is a way for parents and guardians of students under 18 and students over 18 to let the Algonquin and Lakeshore schools know if a student is of Aboriginal ancestry.

The process is voluntary and the information gathered will be kept confidential. No proof of ancestry is required. Students already attending school can indicate their Aboriginal ancestry on the student update form or by filling out the Voluntary, Confidential Aboriginal Self-Identification form at anytime through out the school year. New students or students changing schools can self-identify at the time of registration.

Martin Freundorfer & the Sr Boys Volleyball team will look to repeat

Junior boys volleyball will look to win their sixth KASSAA championship in eight years, while the junior girls basketball squad look for trophy number ten in a long string of local dominance.  The two-time defending champion cross country team will look for the midget and junior aged runners moving up to continue to put up strong results, while the ever growing field hockey squad will try to make it two in a row despite graduating some key players. 

The RND senior girls basketball team captured their first KASSAA crown in over twenty years last fall, and will field a strong, experienced squad once again this year.  The biggest target in the city may be the defending provincial champion senior boys volleyball team - returning several key players while adding some strength from the aforementioned juniors. 

Jory McDonald will help lead the way back to KASSAA

Tryouts will begin during the first week of school.  Keep an eye on the RND Scoreboard for times and locations, as well as scheduling,  forms and general athletic department information.  New transfer rules are in effect this school year, so new students to RND should pay particular attention to the Scoreboard, and speak to any potential coach about your transfer.  Come out to support the RND teams during the KASSAA season.
