Fairview High School recognizes that extracurricular athletics promotes sportsmanship, team building, good citizenship, high academic standards, and community responsibility. Extracurricular athletics provides an opportunity for students to explore their unique talents outside of the classroom setting. These activities demand a high level of commitment, excellence, and self-motivation, which will help prepare students for the challenges they will meet outside the school community.
It is a privilege for students to participate in extracurricular athletics. Participation is voluntary and is not a requirement, nor an entitlement. Therefore, extra time and effort are required of those who participate. Since the reputation of the school is often judged by its extra-curricular programs, high standards must be maintained. Those who earn the privilege of representing Fairview High School in extracurricular athletics are expected to accept greater responsibilities as school citizens and always act as ambassadors of Fairview High School.
Participation in extracurricular athletics is open to all students provided they meet the general requirements as outlined in this handbook and by the Alberta Schools’ Athletic Association, and any requirements specific to the activity of their choice.
