Exploring Nature and Community:
K-3 Boys at "Nature Play" Our Grade K–3 boys had a fantastic outdoor learning experience during a “Nature Play” session at the Land.
Learning Through Exploring
The K-3's spent the day learning and exploring Glenbow Ranch for their Action Day. It was a day packed full of experiential learning!
High School Takes Part In 10PIX
On October 17, our Gr. 10s left very, very early by bus for the all day 10Peaks Innovation Xchange Program (10PIX) at Red Deer Polytechnic. 10PIX is a free, day-long exchange for students to help them understand the vital role they can play in Alberta's and Canada's future.
Turkey Trot
Today the 4-7 boys from the Richmond Campus and the Girls School from the Currie Campus participated in the Annual Turkey Trot. This is not a traditional "fastest runner wins" race but rather an exercise in estimation and pacing. Each runner predicts their time at the start of the run and then the runner that is closest to their estimated time wins a turkey!
Retreats!
Outdoor Education and Character Development are key elements of the North Point program. Each year at the end of September, students in Grades 4-12 attend a camp outside of the city for a few days. Experience in the wilderness fosters courage, self-reliance, cooperation and resilience. As students’ mature, risk and achievement are necessities in forming their identity and confidence. Taking on challenges and overcoming adversity strengthens character.

The home front remained a bee-hive of activity while the older students were away at retreats.
Terry Fox Run
Is was fantastic weather for a run out at "the Land" as students and staff symbolically ran alongside those who are courageously in a race to beat cancer, including some within our North Point family. It was a reminder to be thankful for physical health and how we can make a difference when we join together.
