Weston Collegiate Institute offers students many opportunities to enhance their educational experience through co-curricular activities.  However, successful fulfilment of their academic requirements has the highest priority. We support and encourage co-curricular programs at Weston C.I. It is a privilege to be a part of any program sponsored by the school. Our student athletes and club executives are among our most visible of students, with a very high profile.  As such, they have a responsibility to act as role models for other students at Weston CI.  They also serve as ambassadors or representatives of Weston CI both inside and outside of the school.  The expectations we have of our students are very high.  Students will be expected to always conduct themselves in an exemplary and responsible manner.  Failure to do so will result in your dismissal from the club, team, or position.

In order to participate in co-curricular activities, a student must fulfill the following requirements:

  • Have paid their current year student activity fee.
  • Be a full-time Weston CI student. New Gr 10-12 students must complete a TDSSAA transfer forms to play on a Weston CI sports team
