How did we manage to keep chapel going?For the eight-month period when we were mostly in school, from September to April, chapels were livestreamed from the lounge to screens in classrooms and ofces throughout the school, and streamed around the world to students (and parents) in Niagara, Nigeria, and China. Masked and distant praise teams led worship, and spiritual life director Gord Park was at the m i c r o p h o n e , supported by our dedicated student AV crew. Sometimes, we used previous praise team recordings or messages sent via video from guest chapel speakers, such as retired Bible teacher Neale Robb, Brock campus chaplain Zack DeBruyne, or spiritual emphasis week speaker Mike Gordon. We also were blessed by live and recorded chapel talks from teacher Stu Bender, or Grade 12 student Kaitlin Doornbos.continued on page 2 . . .
2ECHOES JUNE 2021. . . continued from page 1And when we were locked out of school, we did many of the same things in similar ways, except we all watched via Zoom from our homes.What did we miss?We missed our regular singing of loud, off-key renditions of “Happy Birthday.” We missed updates and announcements from dozens of mothballed clubs and teams. We missed high-ves, hugs, and happy chatter. We missed applause, laughter, and cheers. We missed the lively opening and closing music selections provided by AV, and we missed all the ways in which physical presence, communal singing, and connection help us all to ourish in our relationships with each other and with God.Yet, God was present, and there were many times when music and message combined to touch our hearts – even through a screen. Chapel speakers sought to make meaningful connections with students and staff and to deliver thought-provoking, challenging, or encouraging messages. Student council continued to build community by hosting events, challenges, and activities, and student council’s communications manager Owen Munnings rose to Mr. Park’s challenge and told weekly jokes. And on the last chapel of the year, Owen returned the favour and challenged Mr. Park to make us laugh.Chapel by Zoom would not be our preferred choice, but we are grateful for the ways in which we were able to continue to make God central to the life of our school. And as Mr. Park said at the online graduation ceremonies of the Class of 2021, “every week can be spiritual emphasis week.” Nevertheless, we are very excited to be gathering in person in September, and we hope to be able to say again that guests are always welcome.Gratitude and trust during tough timesA MESSAGE PRESENTED BY A SENIOR STUDENT AT A SMITHVILLE CHRISTIAN ZOOM CHAPEL IN MAY 2021By Kaitlin DoornBos, class of 2021Gratitude. Sometimes this can be very easy, and other times very difcult. When life is going great and things are working out the way we planned, it is often easy to be thankful. We see all the good things happening around us, for example, maybe you’ve been able to attend an event you’ve been dreaming about, or maybe you were able to hang out with friends or maybe you are just having a really great week. During these times it can be pretty easy to nd things to be grateful for, such as your friends, opportunities, etc. But it’s during the not so good times that it is often more difcult to be grateful.This pandemic has left so many people drained, exhausted, frustrated, disappointed, and wondering when it will all end. I would say that this is one of the tougher times to be Covid chapels: from left, a masked and distanced student praise team leads worship from the lounge stage, spiritual life director Gord Park delivers a chapel talk by Zoom from his office, and masked and distanced students attend chapel from their classroom.
3www.smithvillechristian.cagrateful. It can be so easy to focus on the negatives and the disappointment of what is going on rather than trying to be grateful. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says, “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Being grateful during the good AND the bad times is not easy, but I believe that it can change our attitude and experience of the hard times. I challenge you every day, nd three things that you are thankful for. Write them down and thank God for them! They don’t have to be big things. Some of them may feel silly like you’re thankful for the sandwich you had for lunch today or something and that’s ok! For example, today I am thankful for my family, my teachers that work hard to teach us over Zoom, and technology that allows us to be able to see each other so I can connect with my friends. There may be days where this is easier for you, and you can keep going and list more than three things. But there may be some days where you’re feeling disappointed, and it’s difcult. That’s ok. But I encourage you to do it and see how you feel after nding three things and thanking God for them. I know for me, when I’m disappointed and I nd things to be grateful for, afterwards I feel a little better and like things have been put into perspective. Finally, I want to encourage you to keep going! You’re doing great. This isn’t an easy time to be in, having to stay home, away from friends and family, learning online, but you’re doing it and you got this! Trust God that He’s got you and that He is walking right alongside you, however you are feeling today and any day. Know that He sees you and hears your cries. I have been holding on to Romans 8:24-28. “For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” No matter how often the circumstances in our lives change, God doesn’t change, and He is always with you.A student praise team leading worship by Zoom and students attending Zoom chapel from their classrooms
4ECHOES JUNE 2021What is a life worth living?STUDENTS LEARNING AND DOING JUSTICEB y M a r l e n e B e r g s M a , D i r e c t o r o f coMMunications anD aDvanceMent“What does the Lord require of you? To do justice.”Senior students at Smithville Christian High School are being challenged to practice what they preach with an innovative summative project in their Capstone course. Capstone – which is a unique course developed at Smithville Christian based on the Ministry of Education’s interdisciplinary social sciences course – pulls students’ Christian perspective into focus and applies it to the world around them, in the hope of shaping their Christian walk now and into the future. It is a required course, and students need it to graduate from this school.A concluding assignment in the course asked students to do in-depth research on a social justice topic, share their ndings, and show how they can be agents of change.This year, with students learning remotely, Capstone teachers Stu Bender and Derrick DeKlerk had to re-think the in-person poster fair they’ve held in recent years. Their solution was a two-day Social Justice Conference, hosted by students. Instead of organizing their research and ndings on a poster or tri-fold, students had to develop a Ted Talk, and present their work via a narrated slide show. Students could work individually or in pairs, and could choose their topic from a list of possibilities brainstormed by the class in a previous class meeting. The assignment“As much as you’ve done unto the least of these, you have done unto me.”There are many in this world who suffer from injustices of various kinds. It can leave us overwhelmed, and asking, “What difference can I make?” While it is impossible for one person to respond to so many problems, we cannot ignore or be apathetic about these issues. God calls us to be merciful and promote justice, or fairness, in this world. Choose one cause or one organization that you focus on. This assignment will introduce the class to a variety of issues of injustice, as well as organizations and opportunities for involvement in promoting justice. Learning Goal: To deeply dive into an issue of social justice to become, and help others become, agents of change.A screen grab from a Grade 12 Capstone course social justice presentation on the topic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Woman and Girls by Kaitlin Doornbos and Esther Kok.
5www.smithvillechristian.caThe assignment also required students to challenge the audience to change their behaviour, or take action to support a cause. In addition, the students had to identify whether the solutions they found were so-called Band-Aid solutions or ones that can lead to systemic change. The two-day conference started with devotions led by Capstone teacher Stu Bender, who reected on God’s heart for justice, as seen in the life of Jeremiah the prophet, and in his call to God’s people to stand up for the oppressed. Bender read the story of Jeremiah challenging King Jehoiachin from Jeremiah 22, and said the prophet was not afraid to go against the grain and call out injustice, even if he ended up suffering for it. DeKlerk told students the conference could be a starting point for them to “listen to different voices in our world,” and hoped they would be “inspired today to live a little differently.”In addition to presenting their own topics, students had to attend four other students’ presentations. Students had to hand in a reection on their own presentation and provide a short description of what they learned from their classmates. Parents, teachers and other school staff were also invited to sign up for the students’ talks, and could attend via Zoom.The students rose to the challenge and the conference was a success, the teachers said.“I was very impressed with pretty much all of the presentations,” DeKlerk said. “A lot of students really got into the research side of it.”The whole experience was so successful, the teachers say they might use the same format again and host an in-person social justice conference next year“It would be great to do it live and have a keynote speaker and pull in other grades as part of our audience,” Bender said.Goals of the Christian Capstone Course at Smithville ChristianTHE CAPSTONE COURSE IS BASED ON TWO FRAMING QUESTIONS:1. What is a life worth living? a. What is our definition of success, what is our purpose in the world? 2. How do we open ourselves up to allow for others to shape who we are?a. How can we see the world from the perspective of others?b. How do we grow our faith through wrestling with big and different ideas?• HungerandFoodInsecurity• IndigenousCommunities’Access to Clean Water• ChildAbuseandNeglect• ChildLabour• Sweatshops• DisabilityOppression• CoffeeCrisis–DirectTrade• Cyber-bullying• DomesticAbuse• ModernDaySlavery• OrganTrafcking• ResidentialSchools• VaccineAllocations• DisabilityInequity• HumanTrafcking• PrisonerRights• Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls• GenderInequality/WageGap• GunViolence/GunControl• MigrantWorkers’Exploitation• PersecutiononPoliticalOpinion (Israel/PalestineConict)• Homelessness• UnfairTrade2021 Social Justice Conference TopicsA screen grab from and Grade 12 Capstone course social justice presentation on the topic of Indigenous Communities’ Access to Clean Water by Emily Stiff and Sophie Vellenga.
6ECHOES JUNE 2021Student work that makes a differenceBy Marlene BergsMa, Director of coMMunications anD aDvanceMentSmithville Christian High School regularly uses sophisticated projects to connect students’ learning to the real world, so when the school ramped up its efforts to improve its outdoor play spaces, two amazing new project opportunities were born. Grade 11 Phys Ed students designed not one, but TWO nine-hole disc golf courses and Grade 11 co-op students built disc golf targets.In addition to giving students the opportunity to collaborate on something with real purpose and lasting value, the ambitious projects also allowed the school to form community partnerships with two local organizations: the Township of West Lincoln and the Kiwanis Club of West Lincoln. One of the nine-hole disc golf courses is slated to be built on school grounds with nancial support from the Kiwanis Club, and the second course on municipally-owned land at the Wellandport Community Centre Park.Remote learning made it more challenging to come up with the disc golf course designs, said physical education teacher Stu Bender. Bender included a unit on the rules of the game, with tips on what makes a good course as part of his lessons this year. Students then worked in groups to come up with some creative ideas, which they presented to their teacher and members of the admin team during Zoom sessions in May. The course designs were also developed with input from two Smithville Christian alumni, Ben Bonsma and Aydan Schat – both avid disc golfers. Final course design and installation will be determined by Smithville Christian’s facilities manager, Fred Breukelman, and by the Township of West Lincoln’s manager of parks, recreation and facilities, Bob Denison.The golf targets were fabricated by Grade 11 co-op students Seth De Haan, Ethan VanTuyl, and Seth VanTuyl, with professional expertise and access to professional cutting equipment provided by alumnus Joe Zantingh, owner of Sixteen Metalworks. Zantingh consulted with the students on the best way to fabricate the targets, and gave them access to his CNC plasma cutter to cut some of the parts, said co-op teacher John van den Boogaard.The students were also given a lot of autonomy to set their own pace of work and follow a schedule, and, in addition to improving their welding skills, they thrived working on a project with real-life application.“They wanted to do a good job because people were going to see these and use these,” van den Boogaard said. “They were out doing real work instead of practicing.”Both Bender and van den Boogaard say they are proud of their students and the work they did.“They really stepped up,” said van den Boogard about the co-op students. “I was proud of them and impressed with the fact they took ownership of the project. They wanted to see it through, and they wanted it to be high quality.”From left, co-op teacher John van den Boogaard, with Smithville Christian alumnus Joe Zantingh, and co-op students Seth De Haan, Ethan VanTuyl and Seth VanTuyl, at a (safely socially distanced) March meeting at school to plan the fabrication of the disc golf targets.Co-op students Ethan VanTuyl, Seth VanTuyl, and Seth De Haan working on the disc golf targets in the shop at school.
7www.smithvillechristian.caResilient students, great parentsBy Marlene BergsMa, Director of coMMunications anD aDvanceMentPandemic schooling is hard – on students, teachers, and families.Yet when a learning community like Smithville Christian rallies around, offering honest feedback, encouragement and support, the burden is shared. Principal Ted Harris personally reached out to all Smithville Christian families during the latest round of remote learning to nd out how students were doing and to ask what the school could do to help ensure the students’ ourishing. Parents provided realistic, helpful feedback on their children’s struggles and they celebrated their children’s resilience. But they also expressed gratitude and encouragement, and continued to lift the school up in their prayers.Hearing that parents are praying, and that most students are doing well – even thriving – is a joy. Thank you, parents and guardians! Your honesty in describing the challenges, and your love and support for the students, their teachers, and the leadership of the school, helped carry us all through.Here are some examples of the struggles and resilience of our students, and of appreciation and encouragement from their families: “Thank you so much for your care in asking about how our son is doing. We truly appreciate all the work that you and all the staff at Smithville have been putting in since last March.”“You are all in our prayers.”“We would like to thank you, the teachers, and staff for all the hard work they put in trying to keep things a bit normal for the students.”“Our son will admit that in person learning is better for him.”“Our children are both managing in their classes and their grades are fine, but I feel they often aren’t putting their best effort forward. To be clear, that is not a reflection of their teachers but more likely a way of coping with life in general right now. I can certainly relate to that as well. We are continuing to pray for you and the rest of the staff at Smithville Christian.”“Weattributeourchildren’ssuccessnotjustto their work ethic and own desires but to the amazing programming and teaching that their teachers have created within this online environment. To be honest, we feel that their education has not suffered this year and that would be a direct result of the way Smithville Christian has structured online learning, the online presence of their teachers, and the dedication of staff to stay connected to their students.” “Our daughter is rising to the challenge of the Covid learning situation this year, but she really misses in-class, in-school learning. . . We have very much appreciated the staff and administration and their diligence to keep our daughter tuned in to her education. Thank you.” “All things considered, our son is doing quite well. He continues to maintain a really positive attitude about school life and is quite resilient through all of this. He’s keeping up with his classes well and we still hear him talking and laughing with his teachers and classmates. He likes the schedule of having each class daily and the break from more official classes on Wednesdays. He is quick to organize a zoom with friends to do “homework” which seems to be a really good outlet and a good way to maintain some of the really solid friendships that he has made. I think the teachers are doing an excellent job of staying in touch with him and making sure he is on track with assignments and deadlines. We are praying for strength for all of the teachers and administration as you continue to navigate trying to maintain student/teacher relationships and continued enthusiasm for education!”“We are lucky to have such dedicated teachers.”“Our daughter is doing well. Obviously sad and disappointed, this being her last year of high school, but she’s still smiling and making the best of the situation.”“Smithville Christian and its administrators and teachers are doing an excellent job during this time.”“I am very grateful for the way that you and the teachers and support staff have continued to educate our kids during the pandemic. Thank you for your ongoing hard work!”

Mountainview Christian Reformed ChurchHow many children do you have studying at Smithville Christian? 1 past (2020 grad), 1 presentWhy did you agree to serve as the Strategic Planning Coordinator? I’ve always volunteered as part of the school community since my children attended Cairn Christian School in Stoney Creek. Whether it was shelving library books, building a skating rink, sitting on the Education Committee or being part of the CIA Committee, it was my small way of giving back. At the high school level there are fewer opportunities for parent volunteers. As the Strategic Planning Coordinator, I like being part of the internal workings of the high school and its future, even if it’s mostly keeping the designated leads accountable for the tasks and reports that are due!What were the 2020-2021 strategic initiatives?Over the years, strategic planning has been a key part of shaping the direction of Smithville Christian High School. Signicant achievements resulted from the 2015 Five Year Strategic Plan, with the assistance of parent volunteer, Cynthia Buist. Probably one of the most signicant of them was the 1:1 MacBook Program.When I started In May 2019, the Board focused on the development of the next Strategic Plan. Using a template introduced at an Edvance workshop as a guide, staff and board members identied key strategies to pursue over the course of 2020-2025. The ideas generated were then reviewed and prioritized by the board and administration resulting in the following strategic initiatives for the 2020-21 school year:Goals for 2020-21 Status1Further rene a framework for delivering a blended education model (on-site & online) for 2020-21Completed2250 students Sept. 1, 2021 For review in Sept. 202131% increase in % from partner schools 2019 to 2021 For review in Sept. 20214Research possible stafng model for additional student wellness support Completed510 glowing alumni testimonials In Progress*6Review & implement best practices for maintaining unity in the face of contentious issuesIn Progress.
