On Monday August 30 2010, grade 11 and 12 students displayed dedication and commitment as Neil McNeil Big Brothers by coming to school on a beautiful, hot, and sunny summer day.  The boys were preparing to welcome approximately 200 grade 9 students to the Neil community during Freshman Day which was held on Tuesday August 31.  The grade 9 students had a chance to learn about Neil McNeil and they were served a taste of what is to come in the coming years.  Areas of focus included academics, athletics, leadership, and faith. 

During Freshman Day, the boys had a chance to become acquainted with their Big Brothers who accompany them on the  Grade Nine Orientation trip to Muskoka Wodds.
