“SUPER G CLUB” IS BORN
By now each student has received his/her Report Card and, hopefully, shared the results of their first term efforts with their family. The attendance at the November 18th Parent-Teacher meetings was excellent, and I’ve received positive feedback from both teachers and parents about how worthwhile the evening was. In reviewing report cards, Mr. Barber, Mrs. Falls, and I observed that many, many of our students have been highly successful. In fact, 336 of our 862 students (39%) are on the Honour Roll (4.01 GPA or better), 40 students received a perfect 5.0 GPA (straight A’s), and 343 students received 4 or more “G’s” for Work Habits/Effort establishing them as the first members of the brand new “Super G Club”. For those students who have not been so successful, I hope you will take the opportunity between now and the end of January to seek help from your teachers, and in some cases to become more focused on your studies. As I look back at what has been accomplished during the first three months of the school year, it gives me tremendous pride to say “things are in great shape at Lambrick Park”. Some of the things that come to mind are: our Fall Season Sports (soccer, cross country, volleyball, rowing, swimming, and field hockey) all had successful seasons; an outstanding 57% of our Grade 8’s were on the Honour Roll; the Band’s Craft Fair was a huge success; our Choir continues to ‘hum along’ in ever-increasing numbers; the use of the Library and the Career Centre is substantially higher than last year; the number of students referred to the office for inappropriate behaviour is down significantly; our attendance rate continues to be among the best in the District (we’re still working on ‘the lates problem’); the Remembrance Day Ceremony was a moving and emotional assembly hosted by Anthony Stubbs, Johnny Lee, and Chelsea Bowen; our November 26th Pro D Day focussed on the many aspects of Diversity within Lambrick Park; the Grad Committee is meeting regularly to formulate plans for Grad activities; the Web Council continues to work on making our school website among the best in the District; the Yearbook Staff is well on its way to producing the best ever Yearbook; our Baseball/Softball Program is exceeding all expectations; and our Students’ Council, under the capable leadership of President Anthony Stubbs, continues to provide excellent opportunities for Lambrick students to get involved in the life of our school. As you can tell, there’s lots happening at Lambrick…..if you really want to see what’s going on at Lambrick Park, visit our website (see top of this page), or even better, drop in anytime, introduce yourself to one of us in the office, ask for a tour or just wander the halls, visit the Library, talk to kids, experience what we call ‘the culture of Lambrick Park’. I know you’ll be pleasantly surprised. S. Murphy, Principal
LIONS ROAR TO BC TITLE
For the third time in the last four years, the Lambrick Park Senior Boys Soccer team won the BC High School Championship on November 17th. In the process the Lions joined the Senior Girls team as both current and back to back winners of the BC championship. After an inconsistent season characterized by injuries and suspensions to key players and lack of commitment by some players, Mr Star was eventually able to field a full team for both the Island Championships at Mill Bay and the BC championships. With a squad of 19 players of which half played on last year’s winning team, the odds were that the Lions would do well again this year. At the Islands, they blew away the opposition in all of their four games, beating SMU 6-1 in the final. Things were not so easy at the BC’s, however! The first game was against Langley, the third ranked team in the D pool. Although the final score was 4-1, the Fraser Valley team actually held the lead for some of the match. The early morning ferry ride probably contributed to a sluggish start. The second game was against the weakest team in the pool, McNair which was Mr Star’s alma mater. He took some satisfaction in beating them 5-1! The critical game in this championship is usually the third game, played at 8:30 am the next morning (Lambrick’s third game in 20 hours). This year’s game was as expected. The Quesnel team went into the lead five minutes from time on a highly controversial penalty called on defender Jonny Lee. With five seconds to go and everyone storming the Quesnel net, Troy Gardezy slotted home the equalizer taking the game to a shoot-out. This was noProvincial Champions contest as our shooters scored easily and took the team to the semi-final. The semi-final proved to be an anti-climax as the Lions ran away with a 3-0 decision against Howe Sound, past winners of this title. The final game was a repeat of last year’s final which the Lions won 1-0. The opposition was Notre Dame, a team stacked with BC and national team players. The game was exceptionally close with much of the play in midfield. Although Notre Dame were unlucky to not to score when Kyle Gros cleared off the line, the Lions had chances too. In the end the game went to extra time and was still tied. The shoot-out was sensational as both teams missed twice, forcing a sudden death shoot-out. Thanks to Steve Matkovic for two great saves. After the Notre Dame player missed, C G Morrison coolly hammered the ball home and the team went wild! CG with his experience shooting free throws on the basketball court and his experience in the Little League World Series was the likely hero in this scenario and he did not let the team down. Lambrick came away with all the honors. Not only did we take home the banner (the school’s 32nd) and a beautiful trophy we also had individual recognition. Matt Northrup was named to the AllStar Team, Troy Gardezy won the Golden Boot for most goals (6) and Andy Turnbull was named Soccer Boy of the Year (ie. MVP). The latter comes with a $250.00 scholarship. Congratulations to Mr Star, a BC Championship in his rookie season and thanks to Mr Barber for being his mentor and an occasional coach and to Mr Turnbull who drove the bus to the BC’s and helped as only he can! Now the girl’s team has to make it a “threepeat” in May!

Better Late than Never…
Belated congratulations to members of our school’s 6-a-side Cricket team on winning the High School Cricket tournament! This school has never won a Cricket trophy before! Thanks to Tanzil Rehman who won the player of the tournament award for being such a competent captain. Tanzil distinguished himself in the summer by being selected for the BC Under 18 team which played in Toronto in the national championships. He was one of only two players selected to the team from the Island. Well done, Tanzil! Well done, team!

LIONS VOLLEYBALLERS ROAR TO ISLAND TITLE
On the same night that the senior girls were adding the Island title to the Lower Island Championship won earlier in the month, the boy’s team was doing the same! Two Island titles in the time it takes John Galloway to serve out a set! Our senior boy’s team has been a work in progress for the last two years. Now, with a complete line up of graduating players, the team has begun to reach its potential. Winning the Lower Island AA league proved to be relatively easy and the guys were usually a match for all AAA teams they met locally at tournaments As a result, they climbed to 5th rank in the province going into the BC Championships in Kelowna. At the Island Championships, the boys went undefeated in the preliminary round, playing before an appreciative Lambrick crowd who missed first class to support their team. They went on to defeat Gulf Islands and Parklands, before cruising through the final in three sets. Lion’s middle blocker Chris Abra was named tournament MVP while John Galloway and Andrew Melville made the all-star team. The opening rounds of the BC Championship proved to be a huge disappointment. Having lost their first match to Vernon, 21-25, 25-20, 17-15, the boys then lost their second match to W L Seaton as well. They then lost their third match! All matches went to three sets and could have gone our way with a little luck. The good thing was that the first three games were only for seeding purposes. The real tournament began on Thursday. As a result of their first three matches, the Lions were seeded 9th. In their first game they beat George Elliott High School three straight and assured a top 8 finish! This set up a quarter final show down with #1 seeded MEI from the Fraser Valley on Friday. Unfortunately, we could not find a way to beat this excellent team, going down in three close sets. By tournament’s end, we finished 6th out of 16 teams. Andy Melville was an Honourable Mention and John Galloway was named to the 2nd All-Star Team. Thanks to coaches Istvan Sitar and Chris Dahl for their excellent coaching over the last few years. Chris will not be back with Lambrick as he has accepted a BC Volleyball Association position in Prince George and will be moving there immediately after the BC Championships. Chris was an excellent student teacher at the school and continued to coach even though he spent his days since then as a TOC at other schools in the district. He and Istvan practised with the boys early in the morning and late at night to hone them into the formidable squad they turned out to be and did an awesome job. We are also losing Ian Birnie at the end of the semester. Ian will be traveling back to his home in northern BC to graduate at his former high school. Best of luck, Ian!

WIN OAR LOSE, ROWERS HAVE FUN!
A new season has begun and our rowers are off to an amazing start! We have had two regattas and all our teams made it to the finals with the Boys Jr. Experience Quad bringing home a 3rd place ribbon from the Crabfest! We would like to thank our coaches for volunteering their time and inspiring us to greatness. We are very pleased to welcome back Mr. Peter Copland!We would like to thank Mr. Mike…for taking on our Junior Novice Girls 8+ — the rock! We are very grateful for his enthusiasm and dedication to our team J Thank you to our parent drivers: Kirsten Proctor, Lynne Turnbull, Ron Walker, Carol Bednarski, Paul & …..Pilon. A huge thank you to Laurie Van for her amazing cookies and being the team researcher—someday we will have $800.00 for a tent! Thanks to Paul and Carol for their quick thinking. We remained “warmer’ and “dryer” at the last regatta. Special thanks to Ron who is quick to lend a hand wherever needed, who packs one mean cooler and donated a huge tarp to our team! Lambrick Rowing team is particularly proud of Zach Pryde who received a scholarship at Cornell University, where he is excelling in all areas! Currently, he is the fastest person in his age category in Canada – well done, Zach! We wish him all the best in the US and look for him at the Olympics! Just a little tidbit: The US gives amazing scholarships to rowers, particularly females. The US passed a bill which states that the same amount of money go in to female sports as goes in to males sports. Since there is no female football it looks pretty good for female rowers! The University of Washington gives a “full ride” for four years to successful female candidates! They had 7 Victoria girls on their crew last year! Girls Quad, almost in sync...
Lambrick Swimmers at Islands and Provincials

Our swim club of mostly ‘novice’ swimmers has shown much improvement since last year and put in a great effort at the Vancouver Island High School Swim Champs on November 6th at Victoria’s Commonwealth Pool. Several individuals placed in the top ten of their events and three of our ‘novice’ relay teams qualified for the provincials. Results for Islands: Sarah Lindsay: 6th – 50 freestyle th 8 – 50 breaststroke Maria Przydatek: 8th – 50 freestyle Scott Jennings: 4th – 50 freestyle st 1 – 50 breaststroke Chris Chapman: 10th – 50 backstroke Anna Stefek: 1st – 50 breaststroke Andrea Bachand: 4th – 50 breaststroke Shannon Etchells, Maria, Anna, Andrea: 5th – 4x100 girls free relay Gavin Hastings, Maria, Sarah, Scott: 4th – 4x50 ‘mixed’ free relay Gavin, Andrea, Anna, Scott: 5th – 4x50 ‘mixed’ medley relay Special mention to: Meighen Super, Shannon & Gavin for competing in the nonnovice categories at the Island Champs. It was also the first meet ever for grad Ling Wang! Thanks to our 3 relay teams for representing Lambrick Park at the Provincial Swim Champs in Richmond on November 19. It was a very competitive meet but a good
experience for our mostly younger, novice team. Well done swimmers! Look forward to seeing you all back next September and new swimmers always welcome. Congratulations and good luck to our grads: Andrea Bachand, Shannon Etchells and Ling Wang! All the best! Coach Avila Rhodes
Sporting their brand new uniforms, courtesy of Mr Seimans and the Royal Bank, our Junior Boys Volleyball team had an excellent season. Going into the Lower Island Championships the team was a shoe-in for a top three finish. In then end the boys had to come up with a huge win in their final game to take third and progress to the Island Championships in Nanaimo. They can be proud of their 5th place finish against teams from bigger AAA schools and were actually the top AA team at the tournament. Well done, guys! Thanks to Mr Wouts and Miss Fenneman for coaching on your internship.
PRIDE VOLLEYBALL SLEEPS NO MORE!
What a fantastic season the senior girl’s volleyball team has had! Considered a “dark horse” at the beginning of the season, the girls actually turned out to be the cream of the Vancouver Island crop. On November 20th the won the Island Championship with an emphatic four set victory over Woodlands at Pacific Christian high school. After the match, coach Andrew Schopp said, “I think it’s awesome, it’s a huge accomplishment!” He then went on to say that Lambrick is not known as a volleyball school….mmm! Actually, of the 32 BC titles Lambrick has won, six are in volleyball, the last coming in 1993-4 and won by the girl’s team. Island titles have been even more prolific. But Andrew is right in as much as schools’ reputations are fleeting and often great performances by some teams are over shadowed by exceptional performances by others. This is certainly true of our volleyball program which, though strong, has been outshone in recent years by the performances of our Soccer, Boys Basketball and Field Hockey teams. At the Islands the Pride were led by tournament MVP Lindsay McGowan and fellow all-star setter Laura Ouilette. However, the whole team is a talented collection of relatively small, quick and determined young women who love to dig for every loose ball. Collectively, they have great camaraderie and enjoy themselves both on court and away from the stresses of competition. The girls progressed to the BC Championships in Vernon as an unranked team as the Pride had not ventured off the Island for any tournaments this year. This put the girls at a disadvantage as they were seeded with strong teams in their pool. In the round robin part of the tournament the girls lost 2 games and won 1. This placed them in a play-off game with the 2nd placed team in another pool. Unfortunately, they lost this pivotal game in three close sets (a game they should have won). Consequently, they progressed to the consolation round where they won one and lost one. Overall, they finished 10th. Highlight of the trip was a fancy dress banquet (Lambrick chose to be Hawaiian) and their skit on the best way to “rookie” the rookies, Leta, Melissa and Ravina. Thanks to the coaches and the parents who went on the trip and who have helped make this such a special season! Finally, a special thanks to Lise Gaston, Kate McGowan and Lindsay McGowan who are graduating from Lambrick and from our volleyball program. We will miss you!

B.C. CROSS COUNTRY RESULTS Gymnastics Has Begun!
Practices began at the end of November, in preparation for this year’s Gymnastics season. We will be hosting our 29th Annual Valentine’s Gymnastics Classic a week early this year, on Saturday, February 5, 2005, with competition beginning at 9:30 AM and continuing throughout the day, usually till about 5PM. Teams will be here from North Vancouver, Penticton and Duncan. Spectators are welcome and the support is appreciated. The top three gymnasts from each level will advance to the BC Championships, March 10, 11 and 12th up in Duncan. We are hoping to travel to Penticton February 19th for an Invitational Competition and also to incorporate a day of fun in the snow up at Apex Ski Resort. On Nov.6, Lambrick’s girls cross country team competed against 300 of the best runners in B.C. They ran a 4.5 km course in the pouring rain at Jericho Beach and finished in 6th place out of 30 teams. The top finishers from L.P. were Kelsey Blake (33rd) Lindsay Borrows (35rd) and Kalee Andrew (37th). Other members of the team were Katie Coughlin, Courtenay Logan, Kendall Allen and Lauren Goodmanson. This was a very young team and all will be back next year to “Go for the Gold”. Coach T. Turnbull would like to thank Ms. Kilborn and Rob Wille for all their help this year.
SURF’S UP AT LAMBRICK!

BASKETBALL LIONS BACK IN THE GROOVE
The squad opened the season at the Welcome Back Tournament in Duncan this past weekend. The Lions defeated Brentwood College and Dover Bay quite soundly on the way to a semi-final win over a talented Oak Bay squad. In the final game, Wellington of Nanaimo outlasted our team and won 78 to 69. Charlie Spurr, CG Morrison and Jeff Krawetz all earned “Player of the Game” honors for their efforts. The Lions, having set a record by winning the past three BC titles in a row, are looking to get back to the provincials for an eleventh straight year to defend their crown once again. At present, Lambrick Park is ranked #2 in BC behind Cedar of Nanaimo. Last year, in the BC final, Lambrick Park defeated Cedar for the championships. Cedar returns all their starters, however, including 6’8” 240 lbs. Willie Gallick who has signed to play NCAA basketball with Pepperdine next fall in Malibu, California. The boys are off to Vancouver to play in the prestigious St. George’s Domino Invitational. Lambrick Park hosts the sixteenth annual Can Am Santa Slam December 16 to 18 involving 20 boys teams from Washington State, northern BC, the Lower Mainland and the Island. After Christmas, the squad heads south to Washington to play four games prior to New Year’s. If the first weekend of play was any indication, this year’s version of the Lions will carry on with the fine tradition of basketball at Lambrick Park.
Lambrick Park Joins CARS B.C.
SPENCER’S ROCKET FOR THE TEAM
As a team our greatest accomplishment this season was improvement; improvements in skills, improvements in motivation and improvements in attitudes. In fact the determination among the group to become better was clearly reflected in the groups training regiment. We played 4-5 times per week, including twice on Wednesdays. There was no shortage of determination or desire to win with this team. As a coach, one feels a tremendous sense of accomplishment when a player can follow instructions without question or discussion. When a player simply accepts an instruction, he or she has prioritized his or her individual role or performance below that of the greater team. When an entire team of players reaches this selfless attitude, a team has the potential to make enormous progress. An example of this selfless behaviour involved Spencer McEwen. During a final match at Lower Islands Championships, coaches asked Spencer to serve the ball as hard as he possibly could against the opponent. Indeed Spencer hit the ball harder than I have ever seen! So hard in fact it did not land in the court on the other side. Actually, the ball traveled underneath the net with a velocity that nearly injured one of the opponents leg. In all my years being involved with the game I have never seen a ball served like that, nor have I seen a player carry out instructions so well! Great work Spencer and all of you. We are proud to coach you any time, anywhere. Adrian Wouts and Allison Fenneman
A small team of enthusiastic students have formed a C.A.R.S. team at Lambrick Park. This group is supported by ICBC and Thrifty Foods and are obligated, as part of the membership in CARS, to organize Road Safety Activities for our school and community. December 7, 2004 is White Out day, where students will be pulled from classes every 23 minutes and will have white makeup on their faces to indicate a road fatality. Students will then rejoin their classes and meet as a large group at the end of the day. Statistics indicate that every 23 minutes a person in North America is killed by a drunk driver. The result by the end of our school day should be a dramatic message to students. Thrifty Foods is supporting our initiatives by kicking back 1% from food bills to our school projects. Anyone can ask that 1% of their total food bill be recorded to Lambrick Park school for credit towards future activities. Please support our Lambrick CARS Team.

GRAD DINNER DANCE SHOULD BE A BLAST!
November is a busy month for grads. Having just received their first report card of their final year, some are now beginning to really focus on their studies, knowing that time is running out to put together a solid academic effort to ensure that they have real choices after they leave the friendly confines of Lambrick Park. Some have just been given a “wake-up call” and a drastic refocus of priorities is in order. Others are still in party mode, determined to make the most of their final year. Many cannot believe that the year is nearly halfway over already. Most likely, most of our grads are experiencing most of these feelings and perhaps this is both expected and healthy. Following on the heels of the traditional Grad Girls Breakfast, a boisterous parade of pyjama clad darlings running unabashed through our hallways, came the Oscar Bowling Night. About fifty grads dressed as their favourite Hollywood stars and bowled the lights out at Mayfair Lanes. Some like Ken, Aaron and Jeff could actually propel the ball down the alley without filling the gutters. These guys won the high score awards. Adam A will be remembered for bowling the lowest score while Lauren had the most gutter balls and Heather was the best dressed. Plans have now been finalized to hold Grad Christmas Party on Sunday, December 12th at McMorran’s Restaurant in Cordova Bay. The dinner dance will begin at 6:30pm and end at 11:30pm. Dinner will be served at 7:00pm and will feature a delicious hot and cold buffet. There will be ice-breakers, spot dances, door prizes and other entertainment throughout the evening. Tickets are $30.00 and can be purchased from members of the Grad Committee in the front foyer at lunch and during the long break during the last week of November. This was a hit event last year when we held our first dinner dance at this restaurant. Given the way our grads have supported events so far, we are sure we will get a great turnout for this event! By now, all grads should have had their grad photos taken by Jostens. Those students who have intentionally delayed their photo until the New Year so that braces can be removed will have their opportunity on retake day! Those students who have not bothered to sign up will have one last chance early in the New Year to be on the grad composite photograph which is hung in the hallway. A smaller version is given to each grad with their graduation diploma. The grad photo is also placed on the grad pages of the Yearbook. For these reasons it is very important that all grads have their photos taken! The Grad Committee has just received samples of the spirit wear they intend to sell this year. A number of the samples will be crested with the Grad 2005 logo in the next week or so and a price list will be available on the front counter of the main office. There will be the usual array of Russell sweats, rugby shirts, microfleece tops, baseball Cute...Chris looks tops, dance pants and booty shorts! We hope to place one order before Christmas and ravishing in his tutu another at the end of Semester I. They would make a neat Xmas gift for some deserving grad! Complimentary grad T-shirts will be given out to all grads on the last day of classes of Semester I (Thursday, Jan 27th) at 3:15pm in the Multipurpose Room. All grads who intend going to the Club Grad celebrations at Silver City on April 29th should have given a $20 deposit to Mrs Bourassa for their ticket. Remember to trade at Fairways and collect receipts assigned to Club Grad. $3333 worth of groceries will allow you to go to this event for free. Collect more than this and you can apply the rest to paying for other grad events. We will be collecting these receipts around Spring Break. Posters highlighting the events at Club Grad are posted around the school. Check them out! This is a fun-filled, dry night (11pm to 4:00am)! Since there will be no newsletter in January, we would like to remind those parents who would like to serve on the Grad Committee that our first meeting of the year will be on Tuesday, February 15th in the LiMax ... pretty in pink brary at 7:00pm. We would like to have a large turnout for these meetings and we promise that none will be asked to fundraise! We’ll remind you again in the February newsletter on the 10th!

Enjoyment= Music x Choir
The Lambrick Park Choral Music Program is working hard to prepare for a busy Christmas concert season. The concert season began on November 23rd with “Schmeckfest 2004” hosted by Pacific Chris-
tian School and held at the Christian Reform Church on the PSC campus. This concert/workshop was an opportunity for secondary school choirs to sing for each other in a casual setting. The participating choirs included Mount Doug, Genlyon, Lambrick and PSC. The Choir students are to be congratulated for their respectful delivery of the musical selections in the Remembrance Assembly. We recognize Choir/ Band member Shannon O’Brien Lepp for her fine playing of the Last Post and Reveille. Michelle Siemens sang “Panis Angelicus” beautifully. Our Choral program continues to grow with 53 singers currently enrolled in Concert Choir alone. We have a wonderful group of 14 students in the Vocal Jazz ensemble and the same number regularly attend the girls’ group “Voices 2005”on Wednesday afternoons. Mrs. Bazett and Mrs. Hughes would like to extend their thanks to all the singers for being dedicated, cheerful and for having such positive attitudes. You are a joy to work with each class. Our choir students stay very busy outside Choir Annex 41. We were excited about Stephanie Robertson’s involvement in a wonderful production of the “Messiah”, as a member of the Prima Youth Choir. Super work, Stephanie! Morgan Balderson, drummer in the Vocal Jazz ensemble, is a member of LP’s winning Volleyball team! Yeah, Morgan! Bernard Lambrechts displayed his amazing talent playing a number of concerts this past month as a flute soloist. Soprano Brioney Logan is to be congratulated for being a part of LP’s winning field hockey team. Way to go, Brioney! Nikki Cook had a “gig” playing piano for a wedding, Nice going, Nikki! Mrs. Bazett, our magnificent accompanist and Galiano Island singer Hans Bongertman, presented an excellent “Voice and Flute Recital” last month. Well done, Mrs. Bazett! The 2004-2005 Choir Council is: PRESIDENT – Ted Komthong, VICE PRESIDENT – Michelle Siemens, EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT – Nikki Cook, FINANCIAL OFFICER – Breanna Ransford, MUSIC LIBRARY COORDINATORS - Mckenzie Main, Christina Lam, MEDIA/PUBLIC RELATIONS - Brittany Neumann, Kendal Sinclair. The ticket sales for the Hillside Mall “Night Before Late Night Shopping” event were very successful indeed!

THE LOVELY BONES . . .
. . . the most recent read of the BLT Book Club, stimulated strong reactions! Many readers appreciated the calming and symbolic cover design, the unique perspective of a story narrated from heaven, and the range and intensity of emotions developed in each of the central characters. Some readers had difficulty with certain parts, particularly the sheer horror of chapter 1 and the mother’s choice to leave her family. However, different perceptions afforded a wonderful opportunity to debate and discuss! The controversial nature of The Lovely Bones made it a good choice for the BLT club. To access the latest reviews, check out the BLT Club link from the Lambrick Park Library web page at http:// lambrickpark.sd61.bc.ca/lambrick04-05/Library/ THANK TO LAMBRICK PARK’S PARENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE (PAC). . . . . . for generously sponsoring the BLT Club’s book acquisitions — which will become part of a permanent book collection to be enjoyed by staff and students for years to come. Beginning in February 2005 Book Club sets can be 2005, borrowed by groups of students or families wishing to read and enjoy the same book. Discussion questions will be provided with each set. Special thanks to Susan Watt who is coordinating book orders at special discount prices. SMART INTERNET SEARCHING . . . . . . for school research does not begin and end with Google — which now searches only 2% of the Internet as sources from the “Invisible Web” (databases, subscriptions services) continue to grow. Although four years old, the article provides relevant cautionary notes about Internet usage. Of particular note is the section about research, and why teens need skills in evaluating on-line resources. This term, I’ve been happy to show alternative search tools — portals, specialty search engines and databases — to classes in Science, Social Studies, and Personal Planning.

MATH MATTERS
The Math Club has been busy preparing for all the Math competitions coming up. We have already written the Canadian Open Mathematics contest and are just waiting on the results. I will keep you updated on these. We have been fortunate to have Mrs. Swonnell return to help us with all our preparations. She has done a presentation on fractals and been encouraging us to solve the problems of the week. Anyone interested in being part of the Math Club, we meet every second Friday in Room 10 at noon, starting again January 7th, 2005! field of study will be part of this workshop. They will be talking about how they use computers and math in their jobs. Bring lots of questions! This should be a very interesting and informative careers workshop.
MathChallengers (Formerly MathCounts)
MathChallengers (the Canadian equivalent to the American MathCounts), is a grade 8 and 9 team competition which will be held on February 4th, 2005. There are several parts to the competition, one of which is the exciting Countdown Round, the fastpaced buzzer round. So far, we have three grade 9 teams registered, but no grade 8 teams. If you are interested, see Mrs. McAskill. We meet every Tuesday, in Room 14. If we win the Island Competition, we move on to the Provincial Competition at SFU in March. Good luck to our Mathletes!

POST-SECONDARY & SCHOLARSHIP LIST
The POST-SECONDARY & SCHOLARSHIP LIST aims to inform students and parents about post-secondary institutions, scholarships and related news. It will be another medium of communication, in addition to PA announcements, posters, and the Announcements list that is posted in the Scholarship Window (located to the left of the library entrance). The list will run this year on a trial basis. Since no staff member has time allotted to administer the list, it will need to be for outgoing news only. If students or parents have questions or would like more information they should contact Ms. Dietiker or Mr. Somers in the Counselling Centre or Ms. Burnett in the Career Centre. If you would like to join this list, please email the school, at lambrickpark@sd61.bc.ca with your full name and a brief message indicating that you wish to participate in the POST-SECONDARY & SCHOLARSHIP LIST. Please let us know whether you are a parent or a student, and students, please also indicate your grade level.
Help Out the Lambrick Park Metal Shop!
Mrs Dietiker and Mrs Burnett, staff members involved with the Career Center Do you have materials or tools at your place of work or home that are never used? Metalworking students at Lambrick will benefit greatly from whatever you can provide. In the last year the rising costs of metal and tools have been staggering. Listed below are some items that are needed: 〈 Tools: screwdriver sets, files, scribers, wrenches, precision tools (such as micrometers) 〈 Sheet metal, preferably free of paint 〈 Assorted metal stock: round, square, angle iron, flat bar 〈 Non-ferrous metal: copper and brass 〈 Abrasives: metal cloth and sandpaper 〈 Welding gloves and oxy-acetylene goggles 〈 Clean wood: short ends that would be suitable for the bases of projects Your help will be greatly appreciated.
On behalf of the LAMPAC Executive, I’d like to take this opportunity and thank all the parents and staff who have come out to meetings, supported fundraising and most importantly support our students in general. As the holidays approach and you are adding all your upcoming social dates to your calendar, please add our next LAMPAC meeting on January 10, 2005. The meeting is at 7:00pm in the school Library. We look forward to seeing you there, and for any input you may have for making our already outstanding school, even better! Wishing you all a peaceful, joyous and ‘restful” holiday season and a Happy and Healthy New Year.

SCHOOL EXAMS, TEXTS ETC…
School exams will take place in classrooms on Wednesday, February 2nd and Thursday, February 3rd for Grades 8-11. Friday, February 4th has been reserved for students to take exams if they have conflicts or if they missed the exams on the other days due to illness. It is also a time for students to make appointments to see counselors regarding timetable changes for Semester II. The schedule for the school exams will be based upon a Copernican timetable. On Wednesday, the day will be divided into two blocks, A and B. The first block will begin at 9:00am and end at 11:00am. The second block will begin at 1:00pm and end at 3:00pm. The period between blocks will allow students to have lunch and study for the upcoming class exams. On Thursday, the same procedure will be followed but the blocks will be C and D only. Students will be expected to be in attendance for all classes regardless of whether or not an elective may not necessarily be holding an exam. Further, students MUST stay in their classrooms for the duration of each block. Given the fact that exams are being written across the school (provincial exams are in the Multipurpose room), we cannot allow unnecessary noise and disruption in our hallways. The only exception to this will be those students who are in full year classes (which do not have final exams, but will have term tests) and Grade 8’s who have electives in D Block. These students will be allowed to change classes mid-way through the two hour block. It is very important for Grade 8’s who have lockers near the Multipurpose Room to stay away from that area while provincial exams are in session. Doors to that area will be closed at 9am and will not be re-opened until 11:30am. Similarly, they will be closed at 1pm and re-opened at 3:30pm. Students should take all the materials they will need with themto their classes. Similarly, those students who have to travel to the language rooms (25, 26, 27) must use the outside entrance once the doors to this area have been closed Textbooks MUST be returned at the time of the final exam either to the Library, if that is where they were originally issued, or to the teacher. Fines will be issued to students who fail to do so, based on the replacement value of the text. Students who are tardy in returning texts affect the redistribution of these texts to new classes in Semester II. Please be considerate of others.

FINAL EXAMS
A REQUEST NOT TO ASK
Every year at this time, teachers are approached by a small number of students requesting that they be permitted to write their final (January) exams on a day or time other than what has been scheduled. There are various reasons given, and teachers feel somewhat pressured to accommodate the student’s request, especially when they receive phone calls or letters from parents supporting their son/daughter. In order that all students write the same exams and so that there is no advantage or disadvantage given to students who want to write at an alternate time, I am asking that families support us by not taking family vacations during our exam days. Exam schedules are posted in halls and classrooms early in January.

SATISFACTION SURVEY 2004/5
The annual Provincial Satisfaction Survey will soon be available to our parents and students. This survey gathers information from parents, teachers and students on topics related to school environment, safety and achievement. The information is used for planning in individual schools and provides a district and provincial perspective. Early in 2005 the Satisfaction Survey will be administrated to students in grades 10 and 12, their parents, and all school staff. We encourage parents to participate in this survey, as the results are important in identifying and celebrating current strengths, as well as determining where the school needs to focus improvement. This year, the survey will be completed electronically and will be accessed on the Internet at www.bced.gov.bc.ca/sat_survey.
