| School Culture |
Each school day begins with 'chapel' which includes
singing, Scripture reading, and prayer. This is the heart
of the school community.
The Timothy Centre is organized into a 'house system'
which divides the school from top to bottom for the purpose
of competition, and is overseen by Prefects. The houses are
Colossae, Ephesus, and Philippi, places where Timothy likely
went. Students may receive a 'merit' point for
memorizing a verse of Scripture (in English and/or in Latin),
or for swimming one mile, walking or jogging two, or bicycling
four. They may receive a 'demerit' for lateness,
incomplete homework, mislaid books, misbehaviour in classes,
being disorderly with their possessions, or failing to wear
the school uniform correctly.
All students attending the academic program classes are expected
to wear school uniform: formal and gym strip.
Uniform consists of school tie, crested school sweater, tartan kilt
or tunic to be purchased through the school, navy skirt or dress
pants, white tailored shirt, and navy or white socks. Gym strip
consists of crested golf shirt and blue shorts, also available through
the school. Some used items are available on consignment.
Hoodies and signature T-shirts will be available during the year.
Blue jeans and other non-uniform clothing are NOT allowed!
The school year is divided into seven terms, each
identified by its following holiday: Thanksgiving, Remembrance
Day, Christmas, Family Day, Easter, Victoria Day, and Canada
Day. The winning house at the end of each term is rewarded with
a pizza party. There is a trophy for the overall winner of the
year. Recognition is also given to individual students at the
end of each term for Academic achievement and for good
Citizenship (contributing to the well-being of the school
community).
Report Cards are given out at the end of each Trimester -
Fall (three terms), Winter (two terms), and Spring (two terms).
A final Awards Ceremony at the end of the year gives recognition
to the top house, and to the top students in Scripture Memory,
Academic Achievement, Citizenship, Community Service, and
Physical Activity and Fitness.
