Clubs and Committees at GHS
The GHS Social Justice Committee has been very ambitious this year. In addition to taking on the planning for the 30 Hour Famine (which raise $2848 towards eradication of world hunger), this group utilized grant money to organize a student workshop day on April 23rd. This brought in speakers from our community to speak on issues relevant to teens. The day made a difference to students and speakers alike. We also continue to work on a homophobia documentary, and organized a food drive for Halloween.
For the past two years a group of students, named the RespectEd team, has played an important role in our school. Every year they choose a relevant topic to teens, research it well, construct a 1 hour presentation and then present it to all of our students, one classroom at a time. This year’s topic was homophobia. They were very successful in educating students and staff about the topic. They also presented to our grade nines on the topic of bullying on the first day of school.
Reach for the Top is a group of students who attend tournaments and compete in a quiz game often aired on television channels such as Canadian Learning Television, Access Education, TV Ontario, and the Knowledge Network. Visit www.reachforthetop.com for more information on the program or contact Ms. Matechuk if you are interested in joining.
The GHS Youth in Philanthropy committee is a group of students who get together several times throughout the year to learn about philanthropy and go through a process to select various community or school groups to receive grant money. In 2008 they selected five organizations which were granted a total of $2500. They were Special Olympics, GHS Social Justice Committee, Gimli Community Healing Garden, Gimli Children’s Centre, and the GHS Band Boosters. The committee also has a representative from the Westshore Foundation and faculty assistance from Mrs. Johannson and Mrs. Dankochik.

Every year, the Gimli High School Enviro Club participates in a variety of events and several projects. We manage to keep ourselves quite busy. Throughout the year we hold several fundraising events. Our most recent, a raffle for a quilt and two pillows that were made out of recycled materials. We send two teams each year to the Canon Envirothon, a province wide competition on the environment. Although some hard work is needed for preparation, students always return with much enthusiasm and eagerness. We also have a recycling program in our school. We are always welcome to new students. Please contact Mrs. Bailey for more information.
The yearbook committee is supervised by Ms. Skene. Students from various grades contribute write-ups and photos to this main committee. The yearbook is completed by June, published by Friesens in the summer and ready for distribution in September. Yearbooks are paid for through student fees.
