RUNDLE ACADEMY 4330 16 Street SW Calgary, AB T2T 4H9 Ph: 250-2965 / Fax: 250-2914 www.rundleacademy.ab.ca

The new school year has brought about some exciting changes to the Academy and we would like to welcome, and introduce you, to a few new faces. Beginning first in our high school: Ms. Jelisa Rushton is teaching science and math and Mrs. Paula Speidel will steward our newly established Spanish program. Joining us in the junior high: Mr. Jake Anderson is teaching math and physical education, Ms. Lara Irick is teaching social studies and science, and Ms. Jodie Switzer is teaching science and physical education.

New to our elementary program: Ms. Carla Thio is teaching grade 6 and Mrs. Stephanie Falkenberg, a Rundle Academy alumna, is teaching grade 5. Lastly, we would like to welcome Ms. Olivia Gallie, who is taking over our art program through all divisions in addition to teaching drama, math and physical education.

We also welcome a new and dynamic administrative team that includes Mr. Jamie Burla as the Assistant Principal of both our elementary and junior high programs and Ms. Nicole Jordan (formerly Davidson) assuming the role of Assistant Principal in the senior high, and also in charge of admissions.

Parent Advisory Council (PAC): The first Parent Advisory Council meeting of the year took place on September

18th and we welcomed guest speaker Warren Woytuck from the Critical Thinking Consortium along with a tremendous showing of parents. We are very fortunate to have PAC president, Mrs. Charlotte Petti, and our enthusiastic and supportive executive returning for another year. We would like to thank all PAC members and the executive in advance for their support and hard work this year.

The next PAC meeting will take place at the Academy on October 14th, starting at 7:00 P.M. Please email Charlotte Petti at dcpetti@shaw.ca for further information and opportunities to volunteer.

Looking Forward Rundle Academy takes pride in the fact that students feel successful and safe in their learning environment. Themes of Grit, Respect and Responsibility will continue to be a focus for our school, as will the pursuit of excellence in academics and character. With exceptional staff, supportive parents, and amazing students, we are well situated to have another outstanding school year.

COUNSELLOR ’S NOTES Understanding the School Counsellor-Parent Connection The school year is well underway, and I have had an opportunity to reconnect with and meet many Rundle parents. I am always looking for ways to let parents know what my role is at Rundle Academy so that they can support their children in accessing the services provided. The following article offers a great overview of what school counsellors do, as well as the importance of the counsellor-parent connection: All students are able to learn; however, a student who is troubled cannot learn as easily. Divorce, substance abuse, relationship issues, anxiety, violence, disordered eating, depression, and suicidal thoughts are among the social stressors placing numerous students at risk of educational failure. Early intervention is crucial, and parents play a fundamental role.

As a parent, your past experiences with a school counsellor may be vastly different than what your child has access to.

Today, school counsellors are certified, specially trained mental health professionals, who focus on prevention and wellness though a counselling program that meets the needs of all students. The counselling program addresses three areas: academic, career and personal/social counselling. School counsellors advocate, mediate, coordinate, consult, and collaborate with teachers, administrators and parents to help students be successful. Professional school counsellors also help children to understand themselves.

But just what do school counsellors do? Today‟s school counsellors: Counsel students individually and/or in groups.

Respond to student needs in crisis situations.

Refer students to special programs and/or services when necessary.

Coordinate preventative programs focused on wellness.

Monitor student learning difficulties and Individualized Program Plans (IPPs).

Analyze test results to provide information about abilities, achievement, interests and needs.

Help with individual school, college, and career plans.

Coordinate efforts with other student services.

All of these activities and duties can make a real difference in students‟ lives, improving their self-understanding and self-confidence, motivation, decision-making, goal-setting, planning and problem solving, interpersonal relationships, communication skills, respect for others and more.

Parents contact a school counsellor to help their children with a variety of issues, such as: academic achievement, orientation and transition, test interpretation, special needs, student crisis situations, family transitions, and higher education issues.

Studies have shown that children have greater academic achievement when their parents are involved in their education. Motivation, positive attitudes about self, and sense of control over their environment improve with parental involvement in the schools. You, the parent, are the most important resource for the school counsellor and others. Your involvement is critical in helping your child to be successful! (schoolcounselor.org) Please feel free to contact me at 403-250-2965 (ext. 103) or caines@rundle.ab.ca if you have questions or concerns regarding your child‟s education or wellness.

AMBASSADORS There has been a lot of interest already for students wanting to be an Ambassador this year. This program seeks students who know our school well, are proud to attend here, and would like to talk to others about their experiences. Ambassadors speak about life at Rundle Academy to prospective parents, they provide school tours for prospective students, and they generally will meet with anyone at anytime to talk about how great it is to be a student here! Anyone interested in becoming an Ambassador should talk to Mrs. Jordan. All students in the program will need to attend a training session at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 8th. Pizza will be provided for everyone!

SPEAKER SERIES Information Evening For Parents and Students Post-Secondary Planning October 16, 2014 7:00 p.m.

Helping your son or daughter make decisions about what to do after high school can be daunting, especially given the many options available that have vastly varying requirements.

If you have questions about the Post-Secondary world, please plan to attend this information evening with our school counsellor, Ms. Caines.

Topics Covered: High school graduation requirements Post-secondary options How high school courses and performance determine post-secondary options Post-secondary admission requirements Application processes Finding scholarships Preparing for post-secondary Post-secondary education and learning disabilities Mr. Warren Woytuck Presented to Rundle Academy Parents and Teachers Parents and staff had a wonderful two day visit in September. Warren Woytuck, from the Critical Thinking Consortium, was in to speak about „Thinking Classrooms‟.

Specifically, how parents and teachers can help prepare our children for an ever changing world, one where the challenges and opportunities they will have will look entirely different than the ones we faced as we left school.

All in all, a very informative and exciting couple of days and we sure thank Warren for taking the time to speak with us all. We would also like to thank PAC for the help they provided in getting Warren out to run these sessions.

Warren had an active audience of parents that remained after our PAC meeting, and was a fantastic person to kick off Rundle Academy‟s Speakers Series for the year.

Speaking to our parents and staff, he explained how classroom teachers can teach knowledge, use tools and create relationships with students, but also posed the question, “are they developing the thinking strategies of their students?”

With the night‟s Speaker Series behind him, Warren did not stop there. He came back in the morning to run sessions with our staff during the Profession Development day. He led discussions on preparing our lessons so that we create these „thinking classrooms‟. He spoke about creating engaged learners and assessment rich environments, of continuous inquiry and self-regulated students, and finally of creating learning opportunities that are digitally enhanced.

Mr. Warren Woytuck

The next Speakers Series will be in October. This talk will have our own counsellor, Ms. Jana-Lynn Caines, and will be centred around preparing our Grade 11s and 12s for post-secondary education.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS How Our Alumni Continue to Move Mountains Alumnus Myles Bayer ‘07 After leaving Rundle Academy, I went to school in England at a culinary school called Tante Marie to become a chef. It was a year long intensive program. Upon completing the program I decided to work abroad in Australia. I had the opportunity to work for some of the best chefs in the country, and I was lucky enough to work at a restaurant called Attica, which was rated 32nd in the world by Restaurant Magazine. I also had the opportunity to work with famous celebrity chef Neil Perry, who runs a chinese restaurant in Australia. I am currently back home in Calgary working at a restaurant called Model Milk.

The thing I miss the most about Rundle Academy is Mr. Holowaychuk. I don‟t think there has been anyone more influential to the man I have become, other than my parents!

Elementary Orientation Camp or Winter Activities?

On September 9th and 10th the students and teachers of Rundle Academy Elementary ventured off on their winter activities...or did they? Although the weather might have felt and looked similar to the days found on our February Winter Activities, they were actually attending Orientation Camp.

Demonstrating the true definition of grit and perseverance, all attendees came as prepared as boy scouts and took in all the activities with an open mind. Over the course of time they were at Camp Riverâ€&#x;s Edge, the students participated in a high ropes course (in the snow), wall climbing, log cabin and bird house building and archery (in the snow). All students enjoyed these activities and raved about their time at camp. New friendships were made, old friendships were made stronger.

The scenery at Camp Riverâ€&#x;s Edge was majestic and pristine. The untouched snow on the rolling meadows of the Foothills was quite a sight! In the end, rain, sleet, snow or shine, the students and teachers from the elementary thrived at their time at Orientation Camp and look forward to more adventures to come.

Camp Chief Hector In spite of some rather inclement weather, the Rundle Academy grade 7s and 8s did make the annual pilgrimage out to Kananaskis Country for orientation camp at Camp Chief Hector, after deciding to postpone the first day. The weather was a little cool and they certainly had lots of snow, but the grade 7 and 8 Rockies dressed for the conditions and had a great time! A highlight would have to be the CORE values activity, which featured many students showing off their best dance moves. Rumour has it even the teachers got up to cut a rug!

Despite the inclement September weather, grade nine students, along with Ms. Scott, Mr. Mellor and Ms. Hoehn, and with support from Mrs. Adams, excelled during this year‟s edition of grade nine orientation camp. The snow prevented us from executing the traditional Paddy‟s Flats camping trip, but we adjusted our plan and made the most of things right here at school. Students spent Wednesday preparing meal plans, learning how to set up their tents and how to use their cook stoves. Thursday morning, after setting up our tents in the Fine Arts Centre, we boarded our bus and went out to Nose Hill Park for a vigorous 4 hour hike led by Mr. Mellor. Upon our return to school, students competed in Rundle Academy‟s version of Iron Chef - Camping Edition. Evening activities included a campfire, s‟mores, and an important discussion about our CORE values and grade nine leadership. Friday morning saw students pack up their „campsite‟ and head out again for a second city trek at Sandy Beach. Teachers agreed that the students adapted very well to the change of plans and made this unconventional orientation camp an amazing experience!

S E N I O R H I G H O R I E N TA T I O N C A M P The senior high orientation camps were blessed with beautiful weather again this year. The grade 10 students hiked out to Pine Grove Campground in Kananaskis where they set up camp, played some initiative games and spent time getting re-acquainted

Kananaskis was also the destination for the grade 11 students this year. They spent their first day of camp learning canoeing safety at the Glenmore Reservoir and on September 4th they packed their dry barrels and paddled across the Upper Kananaskis Lake to the Point Campground

S E N I O R H I G H O R I E N TA T I O N C A M P C O N T ’ D The grade 12 students left early the morning of September 3rd for Frontier Lodge out by Rocky Mountain House, where they went mountain biking, repelling and cliff jumping. The grade 12 students spent time setting goals and a positive tone for the year as they move into their leadership roles.

The senior high orientation camps are an integral part to the start of the school year. These camps allow our high school students to push themselves a little further, the time to bond with their fellow classmates, and a place to set goals for the upcoming year. Thank you to all the parents: you are essential in helping organize your children for this amazing start to the school year.

JUNIOR HIGH GIRLS VOLLEYBALL The Junior High girlsâ€&#x; volleyball season is off to a fantastic start. We have many veteran players, as well as a few new faces. This season, the 6/7/8 girls will be competing in one league and the Grade 9s in a separate competitive league, gaining much court time experience. There will be a number of home games throughout the season, so we hope that you can find time to come out and watch our very talented group of athletes. We have even had our first tournament of the year already where the girls have shown they can be competitive in the big games and that they will be a force to be reckoned with.

SENIOR HIGH GIRLS VOLLEYBALL The senior high volleyball girls have had a wonderful start to the year, with two tournaments and two league games under their belts already. With a team of seventeen girls, the Rundle Rockies have lots to look forward to when it comes to team and skill development, as well as competitive matches. Our first league game against Westmount Charter school took us to 3 sets, and we lost in the third set. Ecole de la Rose came out victorious in the second game of the double header. We look forward to facing these two teams again in the season, and showing them what us Rockies are made of! We will be hosting a tournament here at the Academy on October 3rd and 4th. Come out and support the Senior High Girls Volleyball team!

Coaches: Mrs. Thomson, Mrs. Speidel

With Cameron Olson, Jesse Buker, Joey Gardner, Liam Rinehart, Max de Paiva, Alex Moumdjian, and Curtis Holloway returning, the team has

a very strong core group of veteran players. They are joined by Alex Poole, Dominic Petti, Quintin Millions, Taite Cattoni, and Nick Larmour to round out a very talented group. Come cheer the boys on as they play some very high level volleyball.

J U N I O R H I G H C R O S S C O U N T RY Our Junior High Rockies Cross Country season is up and "running" after a few cancelled events due to weather and felled trees. Our team will be participating this week at the beautiful River Park, minutes from Rundle Academy's campus. The team is made up some veterans such as grade 9â€&#x;s Annette Berry, Ryan Holan and Mitchell Kloss, along with grade 8 veteran Miles Fryett.

We have some new rookies including grade 7's Isabella Lupi and Tom Stephen, as well as grade 8 Andrew Valentine. Not to forget some of our athletes in other sports who have joined for conditioning such as Bram Bouma and Ben Maxwell. Thanks to our fellow running teachers Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Goepen-Wee, who have diligently come out to support the team. If you wish to come out for Junior High Cross Country race days, they take place on Mondays and we practice Thursday after school. Go Rockies!

Coaches: Mr. Mellor, Mrs. Whiting

GOLF CLUB This yearâ€&#x;s installment of the Rundle Academy golf team has been hindered slightly by the devastating snow storm that hit Calgary in early September. However, we at the Academy are keen to persevere! Our season started with

the first practice and lesson taking place at our new course, River Spirit Golf Club. We will be practicing Mondays and Wednesdays after school and are looking forward to a short, but great season!

RUNDLE COLLEGE FOOTBALL Our Rundle College Cobras ended a very successful season last year by winning 3rd place in the Tier III provincial championships, losing a heartbreaker to Cardston in the semi-final game, who went on to steamroll their opponents in the final and capture the Tier III championship.

We had some excellent talent graduate last year and there are a lot of new faces on the team, but we once again expect to compete for the Big Rock Championship and the Provincial Tier III Championship. It is a tall order, but every player is focused on making their goals a reality. To make the schedule even tougher, the Cobras have scheduled exhibition games against: Olds, Robert Thirsk, Academy Players: No. 18 20 32 40 42 47 80

Position RB/LB RB/LB LB/RB OL/DL RB/LB OL/DL WR/DB

Bishop Grandin, and Cochrane (the seven-time Tier III champs) to test our resolve.

The Cobras have started this season with a record of 1 – 1 in league play. We are currently ranked 5th in the Province and are 3rd place in our league. But if the 43-15 victory against Highwood is any indication, they are starting to round into form and ready to take another serious run at the Provincials.

Thank you to all the parents for their encouragement and patience in getting the season off to a great start and to the Rundle community for their support.
