Terry Fox Ravens Wrestling Team

The Terry Fox Ravens wrestling team travelled to Salmon Arm in March to compete in the Provincial Championships. Though five Ravens qualified, only three were able to make the trip. For these three wrestlers this would be the final competition of their careers. Congratulations to the graduating grade twelve wrestlers who competed in Salmon Arm – Robert Widmer, Connor Bingham, and Bryan Cortes - and also to grade twelve wrestler Alex Domingo, who was unable to make the trip. These wrestlers represented our school and our district extremely well, especially in the way they conducted themselves on this epic road trip.
Congratulations to our Terry Fox Cheer Team!

Power Of Ideas Tour At Terry Fox School - February 2nd and 3rd

What an amazing few days it was at Terry Fox! So many things to learn and things to make you think. Mr. Csuka got us all excited about SCIENCE with the displays, the guests, the food trucks, the presentations, the contests, the music, the people – it was super fascinating. We had over 1000 guests (not including our own students) from the community who represented every age group! Thank you to Ms. Patricia Garland, Mr. Gerald Shong, Mayor Greg Moore and Mr. Mike Farnworth for helping us kick off the event! Thank you to all of our staff who rallied with Mr. Csuka and made this all happen! It truly took a village.
Terry Fox Chess Championship Term 1

The 5th annual Terry Fox Term 1 Chess Championship was played out this Saturday, and what an event it was! With 76 kids and even 3 parents competing, it was truly a special event! Perhaps, our principle described it best when she said “Its quiet intensity is invigorating!” Students from 3 different chess classes came together—on a Saturday—to play the game we all love, had fun, and in doing so made some wonderful connections with others who share in their passion. However, in the end, it was Woochan Park, a grade 12 student who has been under Mr. Radic’s tutelage for 4 years now, who won the prestigious event. That being said, it was a tight tournament with many students achieving their personal best. We can hardly wait until the end of term 2 when we get to do it all over again! Congratulations to all the students, parents, and volunteers who competed and helped make this event so special.

Terry Fox Innovation Society

The 3D printed silver sheath that protects the student from the cut glass tubing was made when we ran out of the usual black sheaths for a Physics 12 lab on circular motion. It is very light took less than an hour to design and print. Best of all, it eliminates all shipping costs and only costs pennies in material. Students can learn how to 3D print objects in our new club called ‘Terry Fox Innovation Society’ every day at lunch in room 104.
Terry Fox Link Crew Supports the Surrey Shoebox Project

This November, the Terry Fox Link Crew has been busy supporting the Surrey Shoebox project. These shoeboxes are filled with much needed items, such as warm weather gear, toiletries and other personal care items. Link Crew students, fundraised, donated and purchased enough items to build 51 (one more than their goal) shoeboxes to be donated. We also had numerous donations from generous Terry Fox staff members that helped us reach this goal.
The recipients of these boxes come from an array of different backgrounds, including seniors 55+, new and expecting mothers and women of Aboriginal ancestry. Many of these women have fled abusive relationships and are now transitioning into a safer living environment. Depending on the shelter/transition house, women may be able to stay between a few weeks and several months. Sometimes when times are rough, it seems like all hope is lost and there is nowhere left to turn. The shoebox gift is a powerful reminder to recipients that they are not alone and that they are a valued and respected member of their community.

Terry Fox Students and Staff Giving To Others Less Fortunate

International Student From Iran Joins Football Team

It would be easy for a 17-year-old who is attending a new school, in a new country while learning a new language to retreat into the shadows and simply survive on the sidelines until graduation day. Ali Afrazi is not one of those students as he quickly recognized he needed to get involved if he wanted to connect with others in his new country. He did so by joining the football team at Terry Fox. Tri-city News did an article on Ali and you can read it at the following link.

We for She Conference 2016

Erika and Carly met our Premier, Christy Clark when 20 Terry Fox Students accompanied by Ms. D’alfonso, Ms. Chung, Ms. Fuller, and Ms. Murphy attended the We for She 2016 Conference.  Students heard speeches from dynamic and successful role models from business, technology and politics. Some good take away quotes from this conference were:

    - A woman can be nice and successful.
    - We need to instill more confidence in our female students.  I might should be I will.
    - Women must focus on building each other up, celebrating each other's success, rather than breaking each other down, with criticisms and jealousy.
    - Change will not come if we wait for that other person - Christy Clark quoting Barack Obama
    - As women, we need to choose to be agents of change
