Putting Into Practice
At TDChristian, we learn for service in the light of God’s word. To serve God and neighbours well, our learning needs to impact people inside and outside of our school. That’s why we host a Business Fair, open our doors for Presentations Days, send students to the Philippines, and encourage students to take on large projects like canoe building (see front cover and page 5).
The late Alice Vanderkooy (1952-2022), long-serving former teacher at TDChristian, understood the importance of impactful learning. That’s why she initiated the Project Fund for Deserving TDChristian Initiatives, a fund that provides monies for experiential and project- based learning. It enables students to learn in ways that both reflect and help shape who they are as God’s imagebearers as they engage people both inside and outside of the school.
Last year’s Ascension album and this year’s 2000 Candles production are two impactful projects that benefited from the fund. My hope is that this edition of PWA will delight you, as well as inspire you to invest in the Project Fund that Alice initiated.
