Throughout the year our teachers and staff will offer our students the opportunity to participate in a variety of clubs. Our goal is to offer a wide selection of clubs ranging from maker activities, athletics, technology, fine arts, academics as well looking at areas of student personal interest. Most clubs are selected and offered on a year-to-year basis. If your child has an idea for a club, please encourage them to approach their classroom teacher to discuss.

Student Leadership

At Fish Creek School, we encourage all of our students to be leaders in their own way. In recent years, we have offered a Leadership Club to many of our senior students and this club has taken on a significant fundraising outreach program. On a day-to-day basis, our Leadership Club assists the school in “Blue Day” Supervision, refereeing soccer games for younger students and distributing "Fun Lunch." Our Assembly Crew supports in assembly set-up, operation and take-down.

Green Club

In a large school, stewardship for environmental responsibility is extremely important. Formed during the 2016/2017 school year, our Green Club members helped to transform the way we work and live in our school environment. 

The Green Club began by ensuring that each classroom had the necessary recycle bins to reduce waste and supplemented this with classroom presentations so that students knew which items were acceptable for our recycle bins. But this group didn’t stop there. Once we were effectively recycling, they moved on to compost in advance of the City of Calgary mandated Green Cart program beginning in mid 2017. The Club ensured that each of our classrooms and washrooms had compost bins. Again, the Green Club took the time to inform each class of the reason and impact for composting, and what could be put in the compost bins. 

Students in grade 4 continue to work within the Green Club to provide composting and recycling within our school. This aligns with their curricular focus on "Waste in Our World."

Buddies

We recognize the importance of extending peer relationships beyond the classroom and grade level. Our younger students look up to our older students, and our older students love being able to mentor their younger friends. 

At the outset of each school year, each of our classrooms selects a buddy classroom to connect with throughout the year. Many of our buddy classrooms meet weekly for activities as simple as shared reading to as extensive as a collaborative problem-solving opportunity. Throughout the year, ask your child about their work with their buddy class, and I bet you will see their eyes light up. Very few topics bring on as much enthusiasm as the chance to talk about work with their little or big buddies.
