From school clubs and sports to exciting cultural trips across Canada, there are many ways to get involved and make lasting memories.
Students are encouraged to join clubs and activities within their school community.
Here are a few to choose from:
All schools in Nova Scotia belong to School Sport Nova Scotia. With 18 sports to choose from, students have many opportunities to be involved in school sports.
Not all schools offer all sports. It is important that students are clear on their application if they want to play a sport, and then the NSISP does its best to match them with a school that offers the sport. Students must try out for school sports teams. They are not guaranteed a spot.
Outside of school, there are a lot more opportunities to get involved!
Some examples of community opportunities are:
With so many activities, it is hard to find time to do more. But students do.
The NSISP also has students participate in activities like apple picking, beach trips, dinner theatre, fishing, fossil hunting, Halloween and Christmas parties, ice skating, maple syrup making, movies, professional hockey and basketball games, school trips, sleigh rides, snowshoeing, surfing, wagon rides, whale watching, winter carnivals, and so much more.
There are also two cultural trips held by the NSISP each year.
One trip is to Toronto and Niagara Falls, held in October. The second trip is to Montreal and Ottawa, held in March.
These trips are not included in the NSISP fees, and students wishing to participate must pay for them and have a letter of permission from their parents.
Registration for the trips often fills quickly. Trips are typically five nights long, and the cost covers the flights, hotels, meals, transportation in the destination cities, and entrance to all activities. Students are to have their own spending money, and trip cancellation insurance is extra.
