ATHLETICS
Students have the opportunity to enjoy the intramural team sports such as volleyball, soccer, & basketball with the added benefit of participating in tournaments. The cross-country running team can include participants from grades 4 & up. Team members participate in one meet in Barrie.
Students are expected to keep up their academic performance and to behave according to our school’s standards. If a team member’s performance is falling behind, or if his/her behaviour is unacceptable, the classroom or subject teacher will speak to the coach who, in turn, will speak to the individual student. Failure to improve and comply may result in dismissal from the team.
The TCS annual track and field day is held in May. Top students of the various events represent our school at the Toronto District Christian Track and Field Day held in late May.
CHRISTMAS PROGRAM
One of the highlights of the year is Timothy’s annual Christmas program; music, art and drama are used to give praise to God.
SPIRIT CLUB
Spirit Club run by Gr. 7/8 promotes school spirit, special events and functions. They are in charge of organizing special days and activities for the student body under the supervision of their classroom teacher.
LIBRARY
Our library offers a wide variety of reading material. Classes are scheduled for visits one day per week when the library is staffed by volunteers. The library is available to classrooms as needed for research and support for units of study.
ACCELERATED READER PROGRAM
This individualized program encourages students from grades 1 to 8 to read books at their own level. After completion of the book, students take a computerized reading test to indicate their comprehension of the story. Students earn points towards a class goal. If the class goal is met, a special activity is planned by the teacher.
THE SCIENCE FAIR
Every other year the school has a Science Fair. Students in grades 5 – 8 are required to work on a science fair project. Parents are invited to attend the science fair displays, and winners in the grades 7/8 categories enter their project in the Redeemer University College Science Fair.
WEDNESDAY CHAPEL
Each Wednesday morning at 8:30 a.m., staff and students gather together in the gym to share a time of devotions and praise to God. Teachers take turns leading the chapel. Parents are invited to attend.
PARENTS THAT PRAY
A group of parents get together regularly to pray for the needs of the entire school community.
PIZZA DAYS
Once a month students have the opportunity to buy lunch and snacks at school. Pizza Days are hosted by grades 5 & Junior High. Funds raised by grade 5 go toward their class trip to Ste. Marie Among the Hurons, and junior high funds go toward their year end trip.
READING BUDDIES
Older and younger classes team up to read with each other at least once a week. Students have the opportunity to encourage one another and develop friendships with children of different ages.
MATH PROJECT
Some years, students participate in a math fair. Projects are displayed and parents are invited to view them. The purpose of the math project is for students to experience the extent of math’s integration in all areas of everyday life.
GRANDPARENTS AND FRIENDS DAY
Each spring TCS organizes an open house for grandparents, seniors, & friends. Visitors mingle in the classrooms, enjoy a coffee social and attend a program in which the entire student body participates. It is truly a day of celebration of God’s faithfulness from generation to generation.
