On March 10, 2026, the junior boys’ volleyball team from Wendat Village Public School in Whitchurch-Stouffville earned a fourth-place finish in a regional tournament. The competition, organized by the York Region District School Board, brought together the top 16 boys’ and top 16 girls’ junior teams from across the area.
The championship games took place at Armadale Public School and Wilclay Public School in Markham. These teams qualified for the event after competing in local and area-level matches earlier in the season.
The York Region Elementary Athletic Association hosted the tournament to celebrate student athletes and encourage school spirit. Caleigh Branston, a teacher and coach at Highview Public School, explained that the program helps students build confidence and learn how to work together as a team.
The tournament also relied on student volunteers to help manage the daily operations and games. The school board highlighted the event as a way to support student development and well-being through extracurricular activities.
