Student Chapel and Announcements

 

Student Chapel and Announcements

Chapel is a vital and important part of the Christian context of the school. All students are required to attend. Chapel gives students the opportunity to actively listen to both religious and non-religious viewpoints that they may or may not agree with, to grow spiritually, to think critically about what they believe and don’t believe, and to consider why they hold the views they do. Chapel also contributes toward the Ministry of Education’s mandated teaching hours.

At the beginning of Chapel, announcements from administration, faculty and coaches are shared. Announcements are publicized on the television screens in the Student Commons and the bulletin board by the Principal’s office. Students that miss announcements at Chapel can check these locations.

Chapel is held daily at 10:15 a.m. in the Merlis Belsher Heritage Centre. During COVID, students will stay in their Period 3 classroom to attend Chapel. Those students with spares must attend Chapel in the library.
