It has collected a grand total of 21 team and 14 individual medals at OFSAA since 1999. The two level 1 teams have now won 5 consecutive NCSSAA titles each with the girls then winning OFSAA slalom in 3 of the last 4 seasons.
Its wrestling program has won the NCSSAA championship for the past several years and produces nearly a dozen OFSAA wrestlers each year. This has led to the coining of the term "wrestle with the best"
