Extra Co-Curricular Activities
These activities are considered to be an integral part of school life and are central to each school’s commitment to the academic, social and emotional well-being of their students.
Keep posted to this site for up to date information and action shots of your favorite SHARK team.
Safety Patrol:
Our safety patrol assists with the afterschool dismissal in the front crosswalk. Students in grade five and six volunteer. We celebrate the students volunteerism and dedication to keeping their peers safe with a year end field trip to Edmonton. At Edmonton the students are treated to a fun-filled day sponsored by AMA School Safety Patrollers’. Click on link for more information.
Fundraising Programs
St. Anthony students are very involved in keeping “GOD”S WORLD” safe. We currently have programs in place which not only promote a greener world but also supplement student programs in our school.
Awaso Project
St. Anthony School is helping the Awaso Canadian Academy Foundation with their fundraising. Last school term, we raised over $3000.00 through various undertakings such as: a wake-a-thon, service projects, pizza, ice cream & smarties sales, and reading books.
What is the Awaso Canadian Academy Foundation? It is North Americans building schools and futures for African children. Their mission is to enable the people to help themselves through providing education for the children of Awaso, Ghana, Africa. They are currently building a 7000 square foot school in Awaso. The name of the school will be “Awaso Academy International”

Roots of Empathy
Roots of Empathy is an award winning, evidence-based classroom program that has shown dramatic effect in reducing levels of aggression among schoolchildren by raising social/emotional competence and increasing empathy. The 639-page curriculum is divided into nine themes, with three classroom visits supporting each theme (a pre-family visit, family visit, and post-family visit) for a total of 27 visits. The ROE curriculum addresses the affective side of education, but the activities have many links to the classroom curriculum.

Running is a sport you can continue for the rest of your life. It is a great fitness base for any sport, and all you need is a pair of shoes. There is nothing like the reward of a great run. You feel great and you gain self confidence. So don’t worry if you cannot travel with the team, come out and enjoy the outdoors.
