London Christian has a number of clubs and committees, in which students can utilize their talents, learn new skills, explore their interests, and build community. These are introduced at an assembly early in the school year. They include:
Assembly CommitteeOur assembly committee plays an important role in nurturing our school culture. It consists of two staff advisors and several students. They are responsible for organizing our school assemblies which are held twice a month. Committee members help to plan and organize our assemblies. This entails deciding on speakers, format, music, praise team(s), etc.
Banquet CommitteeOur banquet committee consists of a number of students and two staff advisors. They are responsible for planning and organizing our annual student banquet which is usually held in early March. Committee members are involved in all facets of organizing our banquet (choosing a theme, planning and making decorations, arranging for catering, setting up, entertainment, etc.).
Book ClubBook club is for students who enjoy reading and discussing novels. Students and several staff commit to reading approximately ten novels during the year and discussing each one during a lunch meeting.
IntramuralsWe have a number of organized intramural activities that occur during our noon hours. The fall season sees students and staff playing bocce ball as they compete for the Kit Kat Cup. Euchre tournaments are popular during the winter months. In the spring there is a ball hockey tournament that rivals the Stanley Cup playoffs as students and staff compete for our own Timbit Cup.
Magazine Sales CommitteeThis committee organizes and manages our annual Magazine Subscription Sales Campaign (new subscriptions and renewals) which runs from mid- September to late October. Profits from this campaign are used to help subsidize the cost of publishing our Yearbook.
Peer HelperPeer Helpers are students who strive to reach out both socially and academically to fellow students. These students have a heart for others and are willing to share their time and talents to benefit other students. They also offer peer academic assistance to students who want and are in need of extra help with their school work. Our Peer Helpers are members of the Ontario Peer Helpers Association, a network of high school peer helping groups throughout Ontario.
Physics ClubPhysics club consists of students who are interested in applied science. They begin with building a cardboard boat (cardboard plus some duct tape) and sailing it during a noon hour competition. They then go on to build catapults and undertake other interesting physics applications.
Reach for the TopReach for the Top is for students who enjoy trivia. We have a junior and senior team and we compete in the Thames Valley League with public and Roman Catholic high schools. A number of mini tournaments are hosted at A.B. Lucas Secondary School in London. A final tournament is held at the University of Western Ontario in April. The winners can win UWO entrance scholarships.
TouchstonesTouchstones is our student newspaper written by students for students. It is published several times a year by a committee of students and a staff advisor. Touchstones is distributed free of charge to LDCSS students and staff.
Yearbook CommitteeOur yearbook committee is responsible for the annual publication of our school’s yearbook. It consists of two staff advisors and six to eight students, two of whom serve as co-editors. The committee meets after school several times a month from October to June.
OtherDuring the winter months, some students and staff play euchre with the hope of winning the Toblerone trophy. Others seek to checkmate each other in challenging games of chess.
