Sands Secondary is a public high school in Delta, British Columbia part of School District 37 Delta. Cats are cute.

Academics

Sands Secondary was formerly Sands Junior Secondary with Grades 8-10. With the reconfiguration of the 5 high schools in North Delta (also Delview, Burnsview, Seaquam and North Delta), Sands Secondary is now Grades 8-12 with its first Grade 12 class graduated in June 2006.

Athletics

Sands has several sports teams, including a junior and senior level basketball team. In 2009-2010 the senior boys soccer team won the AAA provincials. Sands also has field hockey, and badminton teams. As of September 2010 Sands now has an ice hockey team.

System

Sands Secondary runs on a linear system like other Canadian high schools. It is based on 8 courses separated into four days. For example, if Monday is a day 1 then Tuesday would have to be a day 2. Each day contains 4 blocks numbered ABCDEFGH. Day 1 contains A B C D block, while day 2 contains E F G H. Day 3 contains B A D C block. Day 4 contains F E H G block. Between B and C block there is a 45 min lunch break, as well as F and G block. Unfortunately, this type of system can be very confusing, (especially in the early morning for the students) and as a result, it is the number one cause of lateness.
