For Parents/Caregivers
The HHSS Athletics program supports student-athlete development and learning through coaching, structured practices, and competitive play. While athlete growth is valued, playing time is not guaranteed. Decisions are made by coaches based on attendance, effort, attitude, skill development, team needs, and level of competition. HHSS teams compete with the goal of fielding their strongest lineups in league and championship play (WCSSAA, CWOSSA, OFSAA).

Respectful communication is encouraged. Athletics-related concerns must be submitted in writing to a member of school administration with all relevant details. To ensure fairness and consistency, concerns will be reviewed by a committee consisting of the Physical Education Head and administration. This process supports program improvement while maintaining the integrity of our teams and coaching staff. Our goal is to provide a positive, challenging, and rewarding athletic experience for all students.
