I am very excited for my first hockey feature game. The game is held at Kerry Park on Saturday. All of the Shawnigan and Brentwood students will be there. We have a black and gold day today—which I love because I can wear what I want—and a pep rally tonight, to get everyone's' spirits high for the big game. Both the junior and senior team will play and, as a new student, I am told this will be so much fun. People are making signs and there will be face pain and a sea of black and gold.

After long hours of preparation, the prefects were able to put on a wonderful Snowfest. For many, it was their first time, but for me, it was my last, and best yet. Everyone dressed up in fancy clothes and it seemed like everyone had a ball. A live band played for the night while everyone danced. Instead of the students all clumped together in a more modern style of dance, all of the students danced in a more formal and "old-fashioned" way. On occasion, even I prefer ballroom dancing, but I can't do it very well.

We, the grade 11s, gathered in the Shaw Centre yesterday and discussed the qualities of a good leader in preparation for Ski Week. At Ski Week at Manning Park, the grade 11s take charge in evening activities such as the Winter Carnival, and my favorite, the polar coaster. We broke up into small groups to share our thoughts before coming together and presenting our resolutions to the entire group. In our groups, we selected three qualities that we would like to best exemplify the grade 11 leadership during Ski Week; we picked attentiveness, empathy and stewardship.
