We welcome Mrs Kask back to her classes at TCIS and hope to see more of her gorgeous baby around Middle School too!


Please also look for an update on the PE page about our latest health unit and work on relationships.

Listen to our thoughts...

"As Grade seven students, we may be young, but we do think deeply about important issues."

This was a quote from one of my students.
Sometimes our students and children feel like they are not 'heard' in the hustle and bustle of everyday living. This really made me stop and think and as their teacher I want to make sure all students have the opportunity in their own time to be heard, affirmed and recognized for the amazing people they are...

Here is a link to a homework task Grade 7 did for Health class.

( This is a live document, so please 'read only' :)

In Health classes we are looking at their Social Health in terms of their attitude and their relationships.
Please read what they wrote about how God can strengthen their social relationships.
We used a forum called "Meeting Words". In this online notepad style, all students can access the pad to write and also read each others responses. It is a cool way for students to learn from each other and consider different viewpoints. Another way for students to develop a sense of community and empathy.
Take the time to read it and you will feel spiritually lifted up!
I feel blessed to be learning from your children every day

Time spent in prayer at the new campus

Here is a video of some time we spent at the new campus as a grade 7 group. We spent time writing blessings and reflecting on God's goodness in our lives.

Day 3 SEW

Today marks the last day of SEW and it was a very special one. We got to travel to the new campus to write blessings onto the walls and floors of the campus. While these areas will be covered with carpets and wood and paint, we know that there will always be a part of our students in the school, urging it to succeed and asking God for his blessings over our school.
