Ballenas Secondary School hosted a Grade 8 girls volleyball play day Saturday, with teams from Qualicum Beach, Nanaimo and Parksville competing.
Host Daryl Britz said the purpose of the weekend was to introduce the girls to the high school and help get them ready for the transition next year.
The event was also a fundraiser for Britz’s senior girls basketball team, who is planning a trip to Hawaii in December of 2012.
