Husky Pride on the Rise!

Husky Pride at the Canadian International School (CIS) is set to soar this school year with the arrival of Jeff Martin, the Canadian International School’s new Head of Athletics and Activities. Jeff is a passionate Sports Director with a wealth of international school sports experience.

Most recently, Jeff spent 4 years in Shanghai as the Athletics Director at Shanghai Community International School. While at Shanghai Community International School, Jeff managed an ever-growing student population and the sporting and related policy needs that came with this growth. With the CIS population growing year on year, Jeff’s expertise in managing and scheduling multiple venues and providing needed guidance to CIS sports teams and coaches will prove invaluable. His energy and enthusiasm, and a commitment to showcasing CIS’ talent is contagious.

When asked about the strongest feature of the CIS Athletics programme, Jeff is quick to highlight “a dedicated and singled-minded group of adults focused on the best possible opportunities for kids and parents”. The school has an infectious energy and it is with enthusiasm that we face a new year of Singapore International Athletics Conference”. While the job of a Sports Director is not all fun and games, Jeff is very excited that his position and role allows him to bring some attention to the enthusiasm that resounds across the CIS campuses, and offer programmes that will enhance the opportunities for young athletes to excel on the playing field.

So the question to all Canucks out there is - who will you be rooting for on the sports field this year? We say, Go CIS Huskies!
