Fun Day is a school run event as a fun way to end the year. Each student is assigned to a multi-grade house team. Once you are on a team, you remain on the same team for your entire time at Montroyal. All siblings are placed on the same team.

Teams are based on BC sports teams and have specific colours:
Whitecaps - green
Canucks - yellow
Canadians - red
Lions - blue

Teams are evenly divided by the school team and communicated by the classroom teacher for kindergarten and new students.

Parents are invited to watch the events. Popular times are watching the team cheers in the morning or after lunch to watch the friendship race and grade competitions.
