Clubs and Councils at Garth Webb Secondary School
At Garth Webb Secondary School, we’re proud to offer a wide variety of clubs and councils that allow students to explore their interests, develop leadership skills, and connect with peers who share their passions. From arts and athletics to technology, cultural groups, and wellness initiatives, there’s something for everyone!
This year, we’re excited to introduce a new feature in our newsletter: each week, we will highlight a different club or council so that our families can learn more about the amazing opportunities happening here at GWSS. You’ll get an inside look at what students are doing, how they’re contributing to our school community, and the ways they are developing new skills and friendships.
This week’s highlight: The Athletic Council - GWAC
Garth Webb Athletic Council (GWAC)
Staff Leads: Emmerson, Boesveld, Beltran
Meets: Wednesdays
The Garth Webb Athletic Council is a student leadership group dedicated to promoting school spirit, wellness, and community through athletics. Members help plan, organize, and run a variety of athletic events throughout the school year—including tournaments, spirit games, intramurals, and special sports-themed activities.
Students in GWAC develop leadership, teamwork, event-planning, and communication skills while contributing to a positive, active school culture. All students with an interest in athletics, school spirit, or event organization are welcome.
Examples of recent or upcoming activities, projects, or competitions:
Feeder school events and sport tournaments, Pink Day Games fundraising for charity initiatives, School Spirit Days, Teacher/Student Events such as Teacher vs. Student Basketball game.
Approximate number of students involved; 20-30 depending on the semester
Further Information:
We organize the end of year Athletic Banquet for the school. Being part of the Athletic Exec team provides leadership opportunities that can be highlighted for supplemental applications for University. Scholarship achievements can also be attained working with the Athletic Council.
