Kitsilano Community Centre
support for Kitsilano Secondary
September 2004 the principal met with the team from the Kitsilano Community
Centre along with our School Liaison Officer, Constable Aaron Cramer.
The Kits Community Centre (KCC) has some programmes for our students beginning
soon. Our goal is for Kits High and KCC to forge closer ties so our
students are better supported. Three of the programmes are offered as
follows:
1. THE BUDDY PROGRAMME is being offered to integrate immigrant youth
into Canadian society in a positive, welcoming friendly way. "Host"
youth will help share their knowledge of Canadian culture and entertain the
newcomer with a variety of different activities, including: sports, theatre
shows, movies, water parks, science world, games, shopping and teach them
about work opportunities.
Sign up at Kitsilano Community Centre as soon as possible!
This will augment our in-school buddies programme that Counsellor Helen
Ritchie is currently coordinating with our international and ESL students.
2. GIRLS ON THE MOVE is a programme that is FREE for all female youth
ages 11-15. This is a non-profit recreational programme and includes
a variety of unique recreational activities including fitness, sports (individual
and team), dance, and also touches on nutrition. The goal is to encourage
healthy lifestyles and create an atmosphere where girls won't feel intimidated
by sports or their peers.
The programme starts Wednesday, September 22nd from 3:15 pm to 4:45 pm and
is open to all female youth with varying abilities. It is a diverse
program designed to find strengths and interests to encourage students to
pursue a positive, active, healthy lifestyle.
If you have a daughter who may be interested in this programme or is in
need of a programme like this you can call Christie Wilkes, Youth Worker
at 604-257-6991 to be involved in what will be a very positive experience
for all.
3. THE LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME is designed for youth ages 13-16 and will involve
not only leaders but those who want to work on becoming a leader. It
will take place in a friendly, forgiving and fun atmosphere where students
can laugh at themselves and at the same time acquire skills of a lifetime.
This FREE programme will be great on a student resume as it pertains to
future careers. Sign up fast because spaces are limited. Opportunities
will come out of this programme so you can get that job you always wanted!
The programme begins at KCC Monday, September 27th from 3:30 pm to 5:00
pm and goes until November 29th. There will be no session October 11th.
Contact is Christe Wilkes, Youth Worker at 604-257-6991.
