GOLF ACADEMY Golf is at the tail end of its alternate activities and everyone is anxious to get back outside for the remainder of the year. Please ensure your child’s golf bag is back at school, and
stocked with balls, tees, wind jackets, etc. so we can capitalize on the weather when we get an opening.
BASEBALL/SOFTBALL ACADEMY Baseball Students, Now that spring has arrived we will be outside as much as posible. However, the weather may force us inside on occasion. Therefore, indoor and outdoor clothing/footwear will be required each academy day. All necessary
equipment and a water bo le are required as well. Please remember to take equipment home on game/prac ce days for your teams and bring it back to school on academy days. If you own an old glove and helmet you may choose to leave them at school to avoid hauling items back and forth. Best of luck to all players and their teams this spring! "You are the only one who can use your ability. It is an awesome responsibility." Zig Ziglar ‐ Author and Mo va onal Speaker
HOCKEY ACADEMY Spring is now here and with that our on-ice sessions are complete. Students will now be participating in a variety of cross training activities, track and field, as well as our hockey related “SAC” class. April 4th till April 14th we will be at Notre Dame Campus. Students will need a t-shirt, shorts, running shoes and water bottle (when warm weather) for every academy class. From April 18th till May 12th we will be back at the Kinplex working on ball hockey, lacrosse, stick handling and cross training. The
students will need a hockey stick, gloves, and a helmet. Please refer to the hockey schedule on the Notre Dame Homepage for student activities. All students should have received their 2nd skill assessment results. Parents, please take some time to sit down with your son/daughter to review these valuable resources. "Bad habits are like a comfortable bed, easy to get into, but hard to get out of." Anonymous
SOCCER ACADEMY The first week and a half of April we will be going to the Moose to learn and play Lacrosse and Floor Ball. After that we will be back at the Field
House for approximately two more weeks of indoor soccer. We will be training outdoors for the remainder of the school year as long as the weather is coopera-tive. As soon as we move outdoors students are encouraged to dress in layers so that they are prepared for all types of weather conditions. Students are also reminded to continue to bring their water bottle along as keeping hydrated is very important.
THE EQUIPMENT STORAGE ROOM IS NOW CLOSED FOR THE REST
OF THE YEAR.

Along with this, there will be opportunities to tour the school and meet our excellent staff throughout the evening. Additionally, for those students who are committed to attending Monsignor McCoy and would like an early opportunity to select their courses for the 2016-17 school year there will be time available to do this with our academic counsellors. We truly hope to see you at the Open House and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to call us at 403-527-8161.

Medicine Hat and Area JUNIOR Chess Tournament -- April 9, 2016
The Medicine Hat Chess Club (MHCC) in partnership with the Crescent Heights High School (CHHS) Chess Club will be holding the Annual (“SPRING”) Medicine Hat and Area JUNIOR Chess Tournament on Saturday, April 9th, 2016. This year’s tournament is also serving as the Southeastern Alberta Regional Qualifier for the Provincial Grade School Chess Challenge Tournament to be held on April 16th in Calgary. The top 50% in each grade will qualify! Our tournament will be have four main divisions: (1) a Senior High School division for high school students (grades 10 - 12); (2) a Junior High School division for junior high school students (grades 7 - 9); (3) a Boys’ Elementary School division for elementary school boys (grades 1 - 6): and (4) a Girls’ Elementary School division (grades 1 - 6). Depending on the number of registrants, there may be “grade specific” sub-divisions. The entry fee is $20.00. Entries will be taken up until 0950 on Saturday, April 9th, but a maximum of only 60 entries overall will be accepted. Pre-registration is encouraged, and can be accomplished by completing the enclosed entry form. Completed registration forms should be returned to Ms. Erin Sand c/o CHHS. Please note that registration will not be considered complete until Ms. Sand has your completed registration form and entry fee of $20.00. TOURNAMENT DETAILS: Date: April 9th (Saturday) Registration (on-site): 0915 - 0950 (April 9th) Location: Cafeteria at Crescent Heights High School (come in main entrance) Times: Round 1: 1000 *Round 2: 1040 Round 3: 1120 LUNCH: 1200 - 1230 Round 4: 1230 Round 5: 1310 Awards Presentations: 1400 (2:00 p.m.) or immediately after the last game is completed. * Round 2 and subsequent rounds will be started ASAP after the completion of the previous round. AWARDS: (1) Senior High School Division: 1st Place -- Trophy and Gift Certificate/Merchandise (Value = $40) 2nd Place -- Trophy and Gift Certificate/Merchandise (Value = $30) 3rd Place -- Medal and Gift Certificate/Merchandise (Value= $20) (2) Junior High School Division: 1st Place -- Trophy and Gift Certificate/Merchandise (Value = $35) 2nd Place -- Trophy and Gift Certificate/Merchandise (Value = $25) 3rd Place -- Medal and Gift Certificate/Merchandise (Value = $15)
(3) Boys’ Elementary School Division: 1st Place -- Medal and Gift Certificate/Merchandise (Value = $25)
2nd Place -- Medal and Gift Certificate/Merchandise (Value = $15) 3rd Place -- Medal and Gift Certificate/Merchandise (Value = $10) (4) Girls’ Elementary School Division: 1st Place -- Medal and Gift Certificate/Merchandise (Value = $25) 2nd Place -- Medal and Gift Certificate/Merchandise (Value = $15) 3rd Place -- Medal and Gift Certificate/Merchandise (Value = $10) RULES: (1) If 6 or fewer players enter a division, it will be organized as a Round Robin tournament, (ie. everyone will play 1 game against each other entrant). If there are seven players or more, the division will be run as a “Swiss System” tournament (in this system with many pairing rules, the goal is to pair players against other players with a similar number of points, each round of play). There will be a maximum of five rounds if the Swiss System is used. (2) Points for the games are awarded as follows: Win - 1 point; Draw - ½ point; Loss - 0 point. (3) The Tournament directors will endeavor to pair all players so that they play the white pieces two or three times during the 5 rounds. Sometimes this cannot be achieved. Please accept our apologies if this happens to your son/daughter. (4) The rules of chess will be the same as those that are observed at all Canadian Federation of Chess (CFC) tournaments, and that have been in common use for at least the past 30 years. We wish to draw the players’ attention to the “Touch Move” Rule, as it can be the source of disagreement and misunderstanding. Essentially, if it is your turn and you touch a piece that can be moved, your opponent can insist you move that piece. Although they don’t have to make you move the piece, they often will. Therefore, DON’T touch a piece that you don’t intend to move. Also, please note that once you have moved a piece during your turn to a legal square, and let go of it, your move/turn is finished. You cannot take your move back!! (5) Time controls: The time control for all games is 20 minutes. Chess clocks will be provided. If they are the “analog”
type (one with a clock face and the numbers 1 - 12) they should be set at 5:40. Their correct use and operation will be demonstrated before the start of the 1st round. Each player will have 20 minutes on their clock to complete all of his/her moves. The first player to exceed 20 minutes will forfeit the game, and their opponent will be declared the winner. It is our observation that most junior players who have little/no experience using a chess clock play too fast in the initial phases of their game. SLOW DOWN!! 20 minutes is actually a lot of time, and remember, you can also think when your opponent’s clock is running.
(6) Reporting Results: Please advise one of the Tournament Directors, of the result of your game. They will do the recording. (7) The decision of the Tournament Director(s) in any dispute will be final. We will be fair and impartial. MISCELLANEOUS: (1) Pizza and pop will be provided for lunch (your entry fee pays for this). (2) The trophies and prizes are paid for by the Medicine Hat Chess Club. (3) Any entry fee cheques should be made out to the: “Medicine Hat Chess Club”. (4) For more information, phone Ms. Erin Sand at CHHS (527-6641, ext. 8122).
