School Reach
School Reach, also known as Reach for the Top, is a quiz game that pits two teams of four players against each other in an effort to answer questions. The team that answers the most questions correctly gains the most points and wins the game.
School Reach is not your stereotypical meeting of the nerds to discuss high academia. There are numerous sport, entertainment, design, music and food questions in addition to the standard fare. Between hilarious moments of laughter and free food offered at games, there is real competition going on. There is a little something for everybody.
There are two levels of School Reach offered to students. The Intermediate level is for Grade 9 and 10 students and the Senior level is for Grade 11 and 12 students. Typically, there are two teams in each level at Bert Church.
Although the school has not had a team in recent years, Bert Church has a storied past in its involvement with School Reach. Participating in the Wild Rose League, Bert Church has been represented at the Provincial Reach for the Top competition many times, placing as high as fourth in the province.
Teacher Hosts: Mr. Wilsdon and Mr. Welsh
Drama Club
Students have the opportunity to join the Drama Club while in grades 9 - 12. Members of the club can work on our Main Stage production of the Advanced Acting Class, with opportunities in Technical theatre and limited performance opportunities. Production starts in September with the performance taking place in December. Performance work is selected through audition, other technical roles are done through student interest and production need.
Spring production
Starting in 2012 the Drama department has added a Spring production. This new addition to the performance schedule is made up of Drama Club members. Performance roles are selected through auditions. Production work begins in January with performance taking place in May. Practice takes place daily in the morning before classes start. Cost for this will be the purchase cost of the scripts.
