Secondary News
Here we are at the end of another school year. Many students (and teachers and parents) wonder where the time went. So much has happened that we can easily forget what went on during the school year. The yearbooks that were handed out last week reminded us all of the many blessings and experiences that we had this past year. Remember the trips we took back in September? Can you remember the names of the Columbian students that visited in October? What about the boys Volleyball playoffs in November and our Christmas dance is December? In January we had some of the finest skiing conditions (minor injuries not withstanding). In February we started new classes and some of us went to basketball and volleyball tournaments. In March we welcomed Mr. VanKampen as Mrs. Kroker left for her maternity leave. April was all about badminton and Cheaper by the Dozen rehearsals. We also welcomed our student teachers, Mrs. Ralph and Ms. O’Hara. May was soccer season and a very wet and cold Christian school tournament. Our play had two nights of wonderful performances. We said goodbye to Mrs. deRoo and Ms. O’Hara but hello to babies Allana Kroker and Hendrick deRoo. Students went on field trips to the Science Centre, Ball Falls, Buddhist temple, curling rinks, courthouse and many other places where leaning could happen. Now it is June and we again thank our Father for another year of growth, safety and blessing. May this summer bring you time to rest, reflect and recharge as we prepare for the new adventures that September will bring us.
Textbooks and Library Books
It is that time of year when courses are wrapping up. Students are asked to return their textbooks to their classroom on the day of the exam. Unless previous arrangements have been made, students will not write their exam until the textbook is returned. These are expensive resources that, if not returned, are placed, costing the school valuable resources money. It is also the time of year to return the library books. Please do so sooner rather than later.
Exams – June 22-25
A reminder that exams run Tuesday to Friday. All exams start promptly at 9:00am, so students should be in the assigned room by 8:45 for devotions and instructions. Students must write exams at the prescribed time. A complete and printable schedule of exams is posted at http://www.beaconchristian.org/ssexams.cfm
