The Gateway Griffin
| The Griffin is our school's
symbol and mascot. The Griffin is a mythological creature that
is part lion and part eagle.
The Lion symbolizes strength and
integrity. The eagle symbolizes pride and grace. These
are traits that we try to show at Gateway School.

Extra-Curricular
Activities |
Gateway offers a number of
extra-curricular activities for students.
Early in the fall,
cross-country running starts as well as volleyball. In the
winter, basketball begins and in the spring, badminton finishes off
the year. These activities usually occur after school.
At noon hour, we have many things
happening to keep everyone busy. We usually have house games,
chorus, games club and table tennis happening at the same time.
|
Gateway has 4 house teams: Hawks, Osprey, Cougars and Lynx.
The names of these teams were chosen because they are animals
that are native to Saskatchewan.
We picked from the bird family and the cat family because our
school's mascot, the Griffin, is part bird and part cat. |
