Activities

Here at Vineridge, we understand that learning happens just as much outside of the classroom as it does within. This is why our activities coordinator works hard to provide a variety of fun and educational activities for our students year-round.

Volunteering

Being located in a small town offers many opportunities to get involved in the community. Every month students volunteer their time to participate in events organized by various organizations. Whether running a food drive, making activities and games for a Halloween children’s fair or running in the Canada Day bed race, our students learn the importance of giving.

Core values

We encourage students to learn the importance of being well rounded individuals through our core value system. Every month there is a core value emphasized through a guest speaker presentation, workshop or activity. Students are encouraged to demonstrate it in their daily school life, and teachers select students who have best exhibited the value for a monthly core value award.

The core values are:

Cultural

We recognize and celebrate all North American holidays and traditions such as Thanksgiving, Halloween, Canada Day, Christmas and many more. Our students learn about and participate in such events as the Terry Fox run, Pink Shirt Antibullying day and the Thanksgiving Food Drive. This allows them to learn Canadian culture, values and traditions.

Entertainment

Here at Vineridge we love to have fun! Students are given the opportunity to be active, play games, sports, sightsee and shop. Our intensive academic program is challenging so weekends provide an opportunity to spend time with friends. Some of the fun activities we do:

Clubs

Vineridge clubs are student-centered in that each semester we look for student interest and provide clubs which will allow them to develop those interests. Some clubs are even student-run, allowing students to bond over common interests. Clubs are also a great way to try something new, to learn a skill or simply to meet other students and make new friends. There are sports clubs like wrestling and basketball, arts and crafts club, drama, dance and even capoeira. Academic clubs such as math, physics and chess are popular amongst the students. Computers and Yearbook club provide a variety of skills such as design, writing, photography, sales and layout. We encourage students to take up as many clubs as they have time for.
