Geiting things done ai Sielly’s Secondary

Now that the school year is well
under way, there are a number of
projects being undertaken by vati-
ous organizations in’ the school.

The Stelly’s Environment
Council is starting a project to
clean up the local beaches, starting
with Island View Beach Regional
Park on Sunday, Oct. 17.

The object is to get the com-
munity and the school involved in
keeping beautiful the places we
take for granted. It is hoped that
the council can create an aware-
ness about the cleanliness of the
local beaches as well as an enthu-
siasm for preserving the environ-
ment.

Following the clean up there
will be a “bring-your-own barbe-
cue/bonfire’’ for all participants.
The Island View clean up will start
at 1 p.m. and continue until the job

ap is done.
Member Jen Maratos said “I~

think (the clean up) is a good idea
and I hope that we get a lot of
support from the community as
well as other students in the
school.”

Grade 12 Physical Education
students returned Oct. 9 from a
successful “Nitinat,” a hiking,
canoeing, and portaging adventure
near the Nitinat Lake in the West
Coast Trail area.

Teacher Fraser Syme said that
the students “hiked very, very,
well.” He explained that the stu-
dent’s mountaineering experience
from PE. 11 helped prepare them
for the six-day trip.

Excellent weather and sightings

= of whales, bears and eagles helped

make this fall “Nitinat” a special
one.

I spoke with student admini-
strator Bruce Frith in regards to the
accomplishments of the Leader-
ship Conference held in Septem-
ber

“Each year the outcome of the

conference is different,” Frith
said. “This year the enthusiasm
came not only from the Grade 12
Students but from the Grade 10s
and 11s in attendance as well.”
Frith said that students wanting
to be involved are coming to the

administration with ideas that will
improve school spirit.

Students are behind the newly
redesigned Stinger and plans are
underway for a costumed mascot.

In other school events, there will
be a Halloween Car Rally on Oct.
22. The entrance cost is $8 per car

load and prizes will be awarded for
the best decorated vehicle. Each
team must have at least one junior
among them.

Also, the first dance on Oct. 3
was very successful and the stu-
dents and staff are looking forward
to the Halloween Dance on Oct.
30.
