What is the purpose and rationale of the student activities program?
Student activities are provided to offer extracurricular opportunities for students who wish to participate. These activities offer opportunities for students to learn about the nature and purpose of Christ in their lives through an environment very different from the home or classroom, to learn life lessons about discipline and rewards, to be involved in service to others, to participate in competitive events, to be recognized for achievements, and to interact socially with their peers. In each of these settings, leadership skills are developed within the school and community.
Christian character traits are nurtured by advising teachers, sponsors, and coaches. In Student Clubs, the focus is upon developing Christian leaders. Students develop a Godly balance in their lives by incorporating their physical, emotional and spiritual gifts alongside their academics.
