Clubs & Experiences

Discover Your Gifts. Grow Together.

Try something new, develop an interest, and find a place to belong.

Our planned clubs will give students opportunities to explore their God-given gifts, build friendships, and learn how their strengths can contribute to a team.

  • Find your voice. Listen with respect.

    Explore poetry, storytelling, public speaking, and debate. Students practise organizing their ideas, supporting their opinions with reasons, and listening thoughtfully to others. Opportunities to present and help host school events give their growing confidence a practical purpose.

  • Find your part. Create together.

    Explore singing, instrumental music, acting, and stage production. Students learn to rehearse, listen, and work towards a shared performance. From performing to creating props or supporting sound, there are different ways to contribute.

  • Test ideas. Solve problems.

    Take on chess, mathematical puzzles, building STEM & Strategy

    challenges, and introductory coding and circuits. Students plan their approach, test possibilities, and explain their thinking. When something does not work, they explore why and try another way.

  • Get moving. Be a teammate.

    Enjoy table tennis, badminton, running, cooperative games, and team sports. Students practise skills, encourage one another, and learn to handle both success and disappointment with respect. Beginners are welcome, with an emphasis on participation, effort, and fair play.

Field Trips & Adventures

Broaden Your Horizons. Discover New Possibilities.

Field trips are planned once each term or in connection with class projects. Experiences may include treetop trekking, skiing, sports activities, and visits to science museums, exhibitions, and community events.

Through new places and shared challenges, students connect classroom learning with the wider world, discover interests and strengths, and grow in confidence. They learn to ask new questions, support one another, and appreciate God’s creation—building friendships and memories along the way.

Competitions & Challenges

Discover Your Gifts. Broaden Your Horizons.

At Haven, we aim to help students discover their God-given gifts, grow in confidence, and share their abilities beyond the classroom. Through preparation, participation, and reflection, students learn to persevere, welcome feedback, and respect the achievements of others.

Opportunities we are exploring include:

University of Waterloo Challenges

Explore mathematical problem-solving through the Gauss Mathematics Contest and computational thinking through the Beaver Computing Challenge. Students practise recognizing patterns, trying different approaches, and working through unfamiliar problems with patience and determination.

Young Voices & Creative Writing

Develop an original voice through opportunities such as Toronto Public Library’s Young Voices Magazine and Ripple Foundation’s Kids Write 4 Kids contest. Students refine their writing or artwork and submit it for possible publication, learning to communicate with an audience beyond their school.

Toronto Science Fair

Turn curiosity into an investigation. Students develop a question, test ideas, examine evidence, and present their findings. Preparing a science fair project brings together careful research, creative problem-solving, and clear communication.

World Solutions Challenge

We are exploring Future Problem Solving’s World Solutions Challenge, an international online team competition. Students investigate a global issue, identify underlying problems, compare possible solutions, and develop an action plan—learning to consider different perspectives and how their ideas could benefit others.

“We will help students explore opportunities locally and globally, discover their God-given gifts, and grow in confidence—learning to use their abilities to contribute and serve others.”
