During the winter season teams are organized to compete against each other in sports. Such games could be played 3 or 4 days per week at the noon-hour recess. For the past few years our grade 6 and 7 pupils have competed against other Christian Schools in Track and Field and sporting activities. Class Trips are scheduled for the grades 1 - 6 during the latter part of May or early June. This is usually an all-day affair but still considered an instructional day as bus trips combine entertainment with education.
Parental cooperation is vital if bus trips are to be successful.
Notices are sent home well in advance of scheduled trips to inform parents of destination, purpose and requirements for trip. The grade 7 students travel to Victoria for a four day trip at the end of the school year. The purpose of field trips is to relate the learning that takes place in school to places and things in the community. Some children learn more efficiently than others, but all children will learn more effectively when book learning is closely related to real experiences, such as are provided by field trips and by having people into the school to share experiences with the students. Some field trips may necessitate signed permission notices from parents.
