Some of the best learning moments at Sunchild School happen outside the classroom. After lessons finish, students gather for games, clubs, creative projects, sports, and shared academic activities that bring the school community together. Children learn, grow, and bond with fellow students while enjoying these extracurricular activities, which also help them discover their interests. Every experience adds joy, confidence, curiosity, and a sense of belonging that stays with them long after the day ends.
The fun activities we plan for children give them space to grow beyond textbooks. Our students thrive and learn cooperation, communication, and responsibility through these school-based activities. They gain confidence from sharing their ideas, trying mentally and physically stimulating tasks, and learning alongside peers. Activities designed for students also strengthen their focus in class, improving cognitive skills, brain function, and social skills. Many students learn better through new activities in school, which feel meaningful and personal.
Academic activities at Sunchild School make the learning experience for your child more encouraging and hands-on. Our school-based activities, such as extra tutoring, reading support,
chess, and strategy games, help children practise thinking skills at their own pace.
On the other hand, creative options like arts, sewing, and music give students fresh ways to express their ideas. These academic activities boost children' s confidence while allowing us to understand learning styles that suit them best.
We understand that school fun is an integral part of a student’s life. At Sunchild School, we have many fun activities to do after class, including walking clubs, after-school gym time, gaming groups, and creative clubs that invite laughter and teamwork.
Sports programs welcome students of all skill levels and offer them chances to stay active and connected. Such school-age activities turn ordinary afternoons into memories, helping
friendships grow and making school a place students enjoy being part of.
Our extracurricular activities reflect student interests and community values. The list includes
chess and checkers clubs, arts and crafts, music classes, sports teams, extra tutoring, skilled
trades learning in the industrial shop, cultural activities, and special outings earned through
attendance and effort. We introduce new school activities ideas over time to keep student life
engaging and welcoming for all ages.
Sunchild School values activities beyond classes as they support our “whole student” development approach. Learning, health, culture, and enjoyment work side by side. School-based activities help students discover their strengths, feel supported, and stay engaged through every grade. We want to give Sunchild students a learning experience that feels positive, purposeful, and connected to Cree community life.
We engage our students in fun activities regularly, but the schedule can vary throughout the
year for different types of sports, academic, or other activities.
Most school-age activities welcome students across grades, but we have some academic and other activities available only for specific age groups.
Most of our school activities are open to all, with some special sports tournaments linked to attendance and effort.
Sunchild School teachers go that extra mile to offer numerous extra classes like painting, sewing, tutoring, all types of hobbies (even video gaming), walking clubs, after-school gym fun, etc.
Yes, we do occasional field trips for swimming, movies, etc., for students who keep up their attendance and grades.
We thoroughly take care of each student and have health practitioners available for first aid and other health care.
Along with our daily Cree language classes, we have monthly Cree teachings and a Culture Camp for our students.
Our mission is to prepare Sunchild First Nation students for meaningful roles in society, both now and later in life. Education at Sunchild School helps them develop responsibility, independence, and care for others. Whether students choose further study, skilled work, or community roles, they leave school with knowledge, confidence, and values supporting a positive future.
