Athletics
Richland athletics include intramurals, SSAF competitions, and House Games, offering students teamwork, leadership, and school spirit through sport, community challenges, and service-based events that build confidence, sportsmanship, and connection beyond the classroom.
INTRAMURAL ACTIVITIES
The intramural program at Richland Academy is built around team spirit, community, and competition. Students will compete on teams made up of classmates from grades 2-8 where they will participate in a variety of modified sports. The goal is to demonstrate good sportsmanship and for the older students to show leadership in an active environment
SPORTS AFTER SCHOOL/SSAF COMPETITIONS
Richland Academy is a participating member in the Small School Athletics Federation (SSAF). Made up of 65 schools, the SSAF provides an opportunity for Richland student athletes to compete against students from other schools. Popular sports at Richland have been Soccer, Cross Country, Basketball, Badminton, and Track and Field.
Athletics play a vital role in student development, fostering teamwork, leadership, resilience, and discipline while promoting physical well-being, school engagement, and the confidence to succeed in all areas of life.
HOUSE GAMES
Every member of Richland Academy belongs to one of four houses that are named after Canadian heroes. Fox, Wickenheiser, Webstad, and Suzuki.
Fox, Wickenheiser, Webstad, and Suzuki Houses compete throughout the school year for the chance to collect house points. The house with the most points will be awarded with the Oliveira Cup which is named after the founders of Richland Academy. The houses compete not only in sporting events, team building activities, and physical challenges, but also in fundraising campaigns, food drives, and clothing drives that help benefit our local community. Our House Program is a great way to teach our students about being a member of something bigger than themselves and their school.
