An important part of enjoying school years and growing socially comes from participation in extra-curricular activities. Island Christian School and Island Community Church offer a full variety of activities for Elementary and Junior/Senior High students.

 

All extra-curricular activities are chosen and conducted in accordance with the school purpose, emphasizing the development of Christ-likeness through obedience to Biblical principles.

Ø Junior Honor Society - open to students in grades 7 and 8 who have earned a cumulative un-weighted 3.5 GPA during the junior high grades. An annual induction luncheon is held to honor the members when possible. Field trips are scheduled throughout the year for member participation.

Ø Honor Society - open to students in grades 9 - 12 who have earned a cumulative un-weighted 3.5 GPA since entering ninth grade. An annual induction luncheon is held to honor these members when possible. Field trips are scheduled throughout the year for member participation.

Ø Hall of Fame --Members (students in grades 11-12) are selected each year by the student body and administrative vote. Semi-finalists submit information concerning their involvement in school, church, and community. Academic achievement, sports involvement, church attendance, church involvement, and the number of hours of community service are all considered in the administrative decision process for the Hall of Fame representatives. The Hall of Fame honor will remain with the student from the time of initial honor. Students will be introduced during the first year of induction. 

Ø Key Club - open to students in grades 9 -12 who are interested in working on numerous community service projects.

Ø Art Club - open to students in grades 7-12 with an interest in art. Members participate in face painting at our annual Christmas Festival, painting of booths for the Festival and various other community service projects.

Ø INC Club - open to students in grades 7-12. One of the focuses of the group is re-cycling on campus. Students also discuss other areas of concern on campus and in the community.

Ø Spirit Week. This is a school activity involving fun and laughter designed to raise school spirit. Activities involving class points are tallied each day in terms of class participation in costumes and themes. A field day is a school highlight of class competitions which could include egg tosses and relay races. This is a week of creativity and fun leading up to a big game.

Ø Christmas Festival - a major fund raising event of the school year. The students are involved in “their” festival in many ways from running games to selling sodas or even entertaining the crowds with music and singing. Each representative of the 7-12 grade classes is responsible for the preparation and running of the booth of their class’s choosing. This event is a great day of fun and work in a community atmosphere.

 

Although some plays and programs are required as part of the curriculum, others, including concerts and recitals, are extra-curricular. Often credit can be received for scheduled daily practices to give the student the best of both academic and extra-curricular participation

 

Students are able to participate in the democratic process by serving as student body and class officers. Each student who runs for office will submit a personal nomination form which includes his personal testimony of salvation and Christian growth.   A "C" average and good social standing is required of all class officers in order to maintain their position. All class candidates should be faithful to church services prior to running for and while holding office. Students on probation may be restricted from holding a government office. The purpose and goals of our class organization are to give the students practical experience in correct parliamentary procedures and the democratic process.
