Girls Clubs
  • For the last few years, Allenby has run a Girls' Club for girls in grades 4, 5, and
    6.  These three clubs run separately, sometimes on different days of the week,
    during the lunch hour.
  • The girls enjoy a variety of activities, discussions, outings and lessons on topics
    that are of interest to young girls.  Some of these topics may include body image,
    boys, friendship, bullying and puberty.
  • The clubs usually run from January until May, but this can vary depending on the
    interests of the girls and the teacher in charge.
  • This year the grade 4 club is facilitated by Mr. Timofte, the grade 5 club by Ms.
    Marshall and the grade 6 club by Anna Grosman.
