It is hard to believe that we are only two weeks from our winter break. Students and teachers will be working hard in their academic and extra-curricular preparations. On the extra-curricular front, we have been as busy as ever! Our leadership team has seen great growth and the Peer Support, Student Council and Academy Ambassadors are involved in many initiatives aimed at making the school a better place. Namely, our Student Council group has a full week of Winter Break inspired activities for the week before our time off. In the area of sports, we have seen wrestling and basketball start up. On top of the organized sports, this year our Junior High Intramurals have been more popular than ever before! Last but not least, our Fine Arts group is set to perform! In the next two weeks, we have the Elementary Winter Performance on the 13th at 7:00 P.M. and the Drama Club will be performing on the 18th – 20th at 7:00 P.M.

COUNSELLOR’S NOTES November was a busy month, with Dwayne Peace (former police officer with the Calgary Police Service) presenting the “Dare to Care” program. While all junior and senior high school students were exposed to Dwayne’s message, the grades 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 students were also involved in powerful, in-depth discussions of tolerance, respect, and personal dignity. I was present at each of these sessions, and I am proud of the way each and every Rundle Academy student absorbed, reflected and supported the positive messages brought to us by Mr. Peace. Mr. Peace also spoke highly of the cooperation and maturity that our students exhibited. These sessions were very worthwhile and the school counsellor Ms. Caines (who is currently out on parental leave until May of 2013) is commended on having the insight and foresight to bring in Mr. Peace and his “Dare to Care” program. On December 12th at 7:00 p.m., I will be giving a presentation on “Post-secondary Preparation and Planning.” This session is meant for the parents of grade 10, 11 and 12 students. The session will involve topics such as:
How are universities organized?
How do you choose a university program?
How do you determine eligibility for admission to a university program?
How do you pay for university studies?
What are scholarships, who offers them, and how do you get them?
The intent of this presentation is to help parents understand the process of application and admission to university and, therefore, give parents the necessary knowledge to help guide their sons and daughters into the proper courses that make students eligible for admission to the many and varied university programs available in Canada.

Our popular Speaker Series has some exciting upcoming events and even one NEWLY ADDED one. Based on popular demand, Dr. Miller, our school counsellor, is providing his talk on post-secondary planning NEXT WEEK. On Wednesday, December 12th, at 7:00 p.m., Dr. Miller will speak about post-secondary planning that will address points to consider for Grade 10, 11 and 12 students. He ran a similar talk last month and received such great reviews that a number of parents have asked him to offer it again. If you are a high schooler’s parent, mark this date in your calendars. Come January, Rundle Academy is offering two new nights in the Speaker Series. Dr. Miller is back again with Assistant Principal, Mr. Sylven, to speak to you on the brink of diploma and mid-term exams. This January 9th, talk will address how to best prepare for exams and how to relieve some of that stress and test anxiety that is so common. Mark your calendars.
Finally, the January 21st Speaker Series is for Grades 6 and 9 parents. It is hard to believe, but preparing for Junior High and Senior High transitioning will already be starting in January. Grade 6 students and their parents are invited to hear Mr. van der Meer, Head of Junior High, introduce you to life in the Junior High years. The focus is on how it may differ from Elementary and how the transition is made easier at Rundle Academy. A parallel talk will occur that same evening for the parents of our Grade 9 students who are preparing for High School. Our Head of Senior High, Ms. Nicole Davidson, will lead the talk that will orient you to the credit system of Alberta high schools and what courses are offered at Rundle Academy. A must night to attend, for sure. Thank you to all parents and the parent council for their continued support in our Speaker Series. See you senior high school parents next week! Mr. J. Burla

IN THEIR OWN WORDS How Our Alumni Continue to Move Mountains Alumna Lauren Bathory ’04 After I graduated from Rundle Academy, I attended Medicine Hat College. I graduated with my LPN Diploma and I have been working fulltime as an LPN for more than five years in the areas of Palliative, Internal Medicine and Pulmonary care. I recently got a job with Bow Valley College as a nurse instructor. In my off time, I have been traveling through South East Asia, Nicaragua and I will be off to Japan in January to teach skiing for six weeks! In my travels, I
always volunteer my time in some way or another. The biggest lesson that I took away from attending the Academy was how lucky I was to be aware of what kind of learner I am. This gave me confidence to ask for what I needed at Post Secondary. Asking for help will only make things easier for you to embrace the learning opportunity we are so fortunate to be able to learn in. I miss the community feeling at Rundle Academy! Everyone was so
supportive and helpful. Over the years I developed a close group of friends and we became a family!

On Monday, December 3rd, the grades four and five classes embraced the cold weather for a field trip to the zoo. The morning was spent indoors experimenting with solar and wind technology. The students tested circuits, magnets, and mini versions of photovoltaics and wind turbines to determine the best weather for maximum voltage! They discovered how whale fins and butterfly wings are inspiring future innovations in energy conservation. Students observed alternative technologies first-hand, and learned ways to conserve energy in their own homes. The afternoon was spent exploring animals in their habitats before returning to the school.

VOYAGEUR
FOR A
DAY
In late November, the Social Studies 7 classes had an opportunity to visit Heritage Park and become voyageurs for a day. They braved a cold day listening to Metis tales of working for the Hudson Bay Company in their attempt to control Canada’s fur trade. Students also learned to make canoe cups, paddle, pack their 90 pound carry-on and trade their homemade beaver pelts. The fur trade unit will culminate this month with their upcoming Rendez Vous where fur traders, Mr. Palmer, Mr. Mellor and Mr. Burla, will prepare our future fur traders in the arts of meat drying, bannock frying, pemmican making, canoe portaging, singing and dancing in the form of Canadien Voyageur – an important part of our Canadian heritage.
JUNIOR HIGH INTRAMURALS 2012-2013 Junior High Intramurals The Junior High Intramurals has been in full force this year, encouraging participation, sportsmanship and healthy competition in a variety of sports. The students signup to play intramurals, which take place every Tuesday and Thursday at lunch. Points are awarded for participation and victories. The first tournament was for volleyball and we had many great battles. Entered in this tournament were three Grizzlies teams, two Rams and two Mountain Lions. The Mountain Lions prevailed in the final match. Up next was the much anticipated Dodgeball tournament, which featured many great teams, again three Grizzlies, two Rams and two Mountain Lions. The final championship match between the Rams and Mountain Lions was high-paced, action-packed and full of many great ducks, dives and dodges. Because of time restraints we had to cut the final match short and the Mountain Lions, again, prevailed with more players left standing in the third and deciding game. At the rally, both teams joined forces to take on the teachers. Unfortunately, they had nothing left in the tank and were soundly defeated by the teachers. We have recently begun 3-on-3 basketball and it has proven to be an exciting tournament as well. This will run into Christmas. We hope to see the enthusiasm and participation of the student body continue to be strong for Intramurals.

WILDERNESS SNOWSHOE TRIP The Senior High Wilderness Option Class recently planned and prepared for an outdoor excursion into the Canadian wilderness. With all of our gear packed up and perfect winter conditions, the group of grade 11 and 12 students set out on the highway Thursday after school on November 29th, and headed West. The group arrived at the isolated Mosquito Creek Hostel 24 km north of Lake Louise. Great planning provided everyone with excellent food in our bellies and enjoyment of every moment. Impromptu tobogganing, a wood burning sauna and games around the fire set the tone for the evening prior to our snowshoe hike.
Daniel Chepyha, Nick Duus, Jonathan Hardock, Jonathan Hockey, Will Midkiff and Struan Wood were all excellent outdoor enthusiasts throughout the trip. A special thanks to Mr. Palmer for accompanying us and for all his insightful wisdom. Course Instructor: Mr. Eric Vesey
Friday morning the group again filled up with amazing food prior to setting out to blaze a trail in fresh powder towards Molar Pass. Although the group did not reach their intended destination, the powder caked trees and the foggy peaks provided an excellent opportunity to appreciate Banff National Park in the Canadian winter.
WRESTLING Rockies Wrestling kicked off its season in late October. November has been a very busy month for each of our programs including Elementary, Junior High and Senior High wrestling teams. The program was proud to have the coaching additions of Mr. Sylven, Mr. James and Ms. Hoehn.
mentary and new Junior High students, and then finished strong at the Rundle Academy Rockies Tournament. The coaching staff have been impressed with the Elementary dedication and keenness with the sport and look forward to seeing them wrestle in the Junior High.
Elementary wrestlers have had a fantastic season. Many of our early risers at practice were the dedicated athletes from both grades five and six. They hit the mat with introductory tournaments at the Calgary Science School, the Coyote Classic for Ele-
Junior High wrestlers have been competing hard with the goal of wrestling for gold at our CISAA Championships! The team competed at the Calgary Science School, Coyote Classic, Rundle Academy Rockies Tournament and the Phoenix Tourna-
ment at Captain Nichola School. We have had some great results and many gold medals, including students Gannon Willson, Bram Bouma, Dylan Graham, Sadie Matus, Sierra Adamow-Boudreau and Anthoney Stan. High School wrestlers have been in training the last month in preparation for their season. They had some exhibition matches at our home tournament and, this past weekend, Sam Adams competed at the Western Canada's Redmen Classic. We look forward to seeing the team develop further in the months to come. Thanks to wrestlers, parents and staff who came out to support our Rundle Academy Rockies Tournament. We had many team members win ribbons and gain valuable experience. The team and coaches would like to thank Ms. Thompson, Ms. Osaka, Ms. Phillips, Mrs. Vesey, Ms. Prest, Mrs. Kopp, Mr. van der Meer, Mr. Vesey, Mrs. Vivian Larmour, Amanda van der Meer, and Jon-Jacob Bruyn for their valuable assistance with running a terrific tournament.

RUNDLE COLLEGE FOOTBALL Rundle Football – Big Rock League Champions! Congratulations to the Rundle Football Team on an outstanding season. The team was able to win its first Big Rock League Championship over Tier II Provincial contenders Foothills and Holy Trinity. This was an amazing accomplishment and we are very proud of our young men for their courage and heart. Unfortunately for the team, our season was cut short by a heartbreaking 16-14 loss against Cochrane High School. In the dying seconds of the game, our 40 yard field goal hit the left upright, denying us a chance at the victory and a run at Provincials. Cochrane then went on to march through their opponents and claim the Tier III provincial championship. The boys fought their hearts out in that game, however, and left everything on the field. The entire Rundle coaching staff is very proud of the way our boys played and we are already excited about next year and the experienced team we will have going into next season. The goal next year will be to defend our Big Rock League Championship and, once again, challenge for the Tier III Provincial Championship. We will work our hardest to make that goal a reality. Thank you to all the students, parents and staff for their encouragement and support in helping us fully experience this great season.
JUNIOR HIGH BOY S BASKETBALL Junior High Boys Basketball is off to a great start. With interest from more than 30 boys between the grades of 5 to 9, the coaches decided to split off into two teams. This year, Mr. Paz will be coaching the Grade 8/9 team and Mr. Locking / Mr. Rogers are co-coaching the Grade 5-8 team. Both teams are already registered in several tournaments and league games. More information on schedules, team meetings, tournaments and team fees will be coming from the coaches in the coming days. This season both of the teams will be using ‘TeamSnap’ to communicate with the players and parents. TeamSnap can be downloaded to smart phones and can be viewed online. If you have not already received your invitation to join our site, please contact your son’s coach.

SENIOR HIGH GIRLS BASKETBALL As the 2012 Senior Girls Basketball season kicks off, we welcome a whole bunch of new Rockies to the team. With only two veteran players returning to provide leadership, Ally Duckworth and Marisa Jones, we are rebuilding our team with the inclusion of the grade nine players: Kennedy Huntley, Alycia Udy, Madison Hillstead, Madison Shields-Knutson and Cali Champagne. Fortunately, we have a few grade ten players who played for Rundle Academy last year, Taylor Quantz, Mia Berloni and Carmen Farmer, who will add much knowledge and skill to the team. In addition, we have a few new faces representing Rundle Academy on the court with Cristi Louw, Mollie Smith and Amanda Wheatley. Our sole grade twelve player, Alexis John, is unable to play this year, but has proven to be a dedicated mentor and coach to the girls in the practices so far this season.
With 3 tournaments, at least 15 games and practice at least 3 times a week, the Senior High Girls team is going to be busy. So far their energy, enthusiasm and sportsmanship has been admirable. The team’s goal this year is to learn from one another and their opponents and to improve in all aspects of the game. We will continue to be competitive, especially during tournaments where we will be playing against other Junior Varsity teams. The season officially begins with the first league game on Monday, December 3, 2012. The Senior Girls’ Basketball team hopes to see you out to cheer them on throughout the season. Go Rockies!

SENIOR HIGH BOY S BASKETBALL 2012-2013 Senior Boys Basketball Team Following an impressive turnout of more than 13 boys for the Senior High Boys Basketball team, the 2012-2013 Senior Boys team has been established. With a returning core group of players from last year and inspired by the addition of six grade 10 students, the varsity squad is eager to be competitive once again this year. “They are a talented group of young players with some good skill and speed so I am looking forward to seeing what they can do this season,” says Coach Vesey. Starting post player, Sam Taylor, said, “I think we are a good, talented group and I actually think we have a better team than last year,” when asked for his thoughts on the team. “We are still going to have to work very hard and prove we can be competitive this year,” he added. With many long term Rundle Academy basketball players, the team has some veteran leadership and experience to build from. The future of the program looks very bright with some extremely talented young men poised to take leadership roles over the next few years.
