Cross Country Meets 2012 - Brantford & Dundas

This year our cross country team consisted of 25 students. We competed in two meets this season. On October 12, at Brantford Christian School, we had a great day and finished with senior girls & senior boys coming in first place. The junior girls came in second place.

 

On October 19, we travelled again by bus to Dundas Conservation Area. This meet invited 21 school to participate. Once again, our students did an amazing job. The junior girls came in first place, the senior boys placed second and the senior girls received third place. To complete the day, Dunnville Christian School came in second place over all schools that day! We are so proud of our cross country team! Congratulations!

Learning to save lives!

Defibrillator Training

with Grade 7/8 class 

 

Defibrillators save lives but you need to know how to operate them in order for them to work. The grade 7/8 class had a training session on Monday, October 15. This training may make the difference between life and death. There was also a free training offered to the Dunnville community that evening at 7:30 p.m. We hope we never have to use a defibrillator, but thankful we have been trained if needed.

 

 

Brock University Field Trip:

The grade 7/8 class went on a field trip to Brock University on October 9. The focus of this trip was on building community, teamwork, and leadership. In the morning the students were given many different types of challenges or problems and they had to work together as a group to solve them.

 

For example, the students all had to stand on a wobbly platform and balance for one minute! One of the groups figured it out and lasted more than 5 minutes. They were a lot of fun were VERY noisy! In the afternoon the students had the opportunity to climb a high ropes course. There were a few different heights and each student was able to go at their own comfort level.

 

 This was an awesome experience! We loved seeing how God created each student as a unique individual. These unique individuals are also able to function in a group and play an important role in a community. It is our prayer that these students will know who they are in Christ and will understand their place in this world.

 

 

Grandparents Day! Friday, October 5

 

We welcomed all our grandparents and grandfriends to school on Friday. There was a lunch served, as well as a fantastic program provided by the staff/students. Afterwards there was plenty of time to visit the classrooms. We are thankful to have a day set aside each year to invite these very special people

into the life of DCS!

 

Mike's Miracles Junior Soccer Tournament - Oct. 4

 On Thursday, October 4 the grade 6 class of DCS had the wonderful opportunity to play in a Christian School Junior Soccer Tournament in support of Mike's Miracles. This event took place in St.Catharines, Ontario. All schools were divided into different teams and given a team shirt. In the big group picture, you can see all the different colors of shirts. To learn more about Mike's Miracles go to www.mikesmiracles.ca . Our students had a fun day outside, playing soccer and making new friendships.

 

We are off to a GREAT start this school year!

 

 

We are excited to begin the school year of 2012/2013!

This summer our school was a busy place.

We made some wonderful new changes.

We now have a NEW roof, NEW landscaping, and

 a NEW front entrance.

Here are some snapshots taken over the summer.
