VOLUNTEER & CRIMINAL RECORD CHECK
In an effort to further increase the level of student safety in all of our schools, SD73 has changed the expectations around Criminal Record Checks for volunteers. All school volunteers must have a completed Criminal Record Check on file with the school. Criminal Record Checks are free to complete and are valid for three years.
There are many ways in which you can be an active parent/caregiver at South Kamloops Secondary. Many people volunteer in our school. School sports' coaches are needed to support our school teams. Please contact the Athletic Director (Mr. Yamaoka) if you would like to help with any of our sports teams. Your involvement is greatly appreciated and allows us to expand our programs and to support children in ways that we otherwise would not be able to do.
Once submitted, the school usually receives the official Criminal Record Check notification within 3-4 days. We are asking Parents/Caregivers to proactively complete their Criminal Record Checks as soon as possible to avoid last minute stress. The link and access code below are active and you are encouraged to submit this today.

ACL Injury Prevention Program
Athletic Therapist Alyssa Horton (who has worked with TRU's Men's National Soccer Championship team) is going to be running a 12-week ACL Injury Prevention Group Class. This class is innovative and evidence based and will reduce the risk of ACL and other knee injuries in youth sports participants. In reducing injury risk, we also improve longevity in the sport, performance on the field/court and the likelihood of returning to sport year over year.
Classes begin on Sept 24th 2024 and are running Tuesday's at Sage from 430-530 pm.
