Dear TKS Community,
The purpose of the TKS co-curricular program is to support the TKS mission, vision and values by providing a balanced and diverse range of opportunities and experiences to promote the development of TKS students as IB Learners. The inclusive program will empower students to positively engage and become well-rounded, adaptable members of the TKS community and global society. Within a nurturing environment students can thrive, pursue their passions, take on challenges and develop lifelong skills. The benefits from being part of a team and learning lessons via co-curricular offerings are essential parts of our program.
Activities & Athletics are integral parts of a student’s education and growth at TKS, from elementary school through to the high school. Through participation in co-curricular's, students will mature physically, emotionally and socially. They will learn to take responsibility for personal growth by developing integrity, commitment and dedication. Students will develop values such as time management, goal setting, leadership, developing a work ethic and sportsmanship. Combined with encouraging a healthy lifestyle, these values build character and prepare TKS graduates for success beyond school. This coming year, we hope to see even more students taking advantage of our privileged position of being face-to-face in school and participating in the fantastic opportunities being offered in the co-curricular program.
We welcome back our returning coaches, some highly esteemed in conference and divisional circles; we welcome our new coaches, whether new to TKS or repositioned; and we welcome our other athletic staff, from our nurses to our drivers. Our department does not just teach sport but we teach and demonstrate the development of character through sport. We work hard to ensure that each student has a challenging and learning experience during the respective sport, while maintaining focus on their academic mission.
TKS competes in the SAIKAC and RSAC conferences and offers other intramural programs at the secondary and elementary school levels.
We have some changes and exciting additions to the co-curricular program this year. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the following pages of this handbook. You will find answers to your many questions regarding program structure, rules, regulations and the programs offered at TKS.
There is something for everyone to get involved with in the co-curricular program and we highly encourage students to talk with us about opportunities for them to lead the delivery of activities they are passionate about.
I look forward to seeing you getting involved in activities soon!
GO SHARKS!
