CELEBRATING SUCCESS
The front cover of this edition of the Collegian features two of NCC’s top achievers,
Scott Sutherland and Virginia Wong. We are very proud of these graduates and are
sending them off to their post-secondary studies with great confidence in their ability
to succeed, not only in their academic pursuits, but in anything they set their minds to.
At the close of their time here at NCC, Scott’s and Virginia’s successes showcase the
fulfillment of our mandate. Our faculty and staff work hard to “...educate students with
excellence in a family-like environment, equipping them to grow God’s Kingdom, and
empowering them to make a difference in the world”. Our mission is to encourage students
to excel in every area of their lives: in their studies, in relationships, in their faith,
and in the realization of their unique purpose in life. These amazing students model
excellence in every one of these areas.
NCC provides a warm, caring atmosphere coupled with the knowledge, training, and
resources necessary to ensure an exceptional education. Scott and Virginia responded
to this environment of quality education, care, and encouragement with great enthusiasm
and were highly motivated to rise to the top in all aspects of student life. Faculty
and staff provided Scott and Virginia a strong foundation for their future success, not
only in academics, but in modeling and inspiring the ability to navigate through life’s
challenges.
Through your generosity, scholarships helped to fuel Scott's and Virginia’s studies,
and to seal their current standing as academic scholars. You have invested in students
who may otherwise not be able to afford this kind of comprehensive training.
From start to finish, NCC students receive an excellent education. The collaboration
of a caring, nurturing and faith-filled learning environment coupled with motivated, responsive
students produces winning results. Scott and Virginia are living proof of that
fact. We celebrate their success!
Thank you for your continued prayers and support!
Scott Herron
The Mission of NCC:
In an international community of schools, to
educate students with excellence in a familylike
environment, equipping them to grow God's
Kingdom, and empowering them to make a
difference in the world.

A fabulous group of graduates and their spouses recently
reunited to celebrate the 65th anniversary of their
graduation from Niagara Christian Collegiate (formerly
Ontario Bible School, or OBS).
Every five years, the Class of Fifty gather together to
reminisce about their memorable high school years and
to celebrate their rich, enduring friendships. It’s not often
that a graduating class can boast of such longevity. This
year, the grads travelled from as far away as California,
British Columbia, and Pennsylvania for this special occasion.
Joining the celebration was the group’s Class Advisor,
Pete Willms. Pete attended NCC as a student
from 1944-47 and later taught Social Studies, General
Science, Bible Studies, and Physical Education at the
school. Pete and his wife Mary currently live in California
after pioneering the BIC Missions in Japan and serving
there for a number of years.
When asked about the secret to their class esprit de
corps, Erma Sider responded, “The value and warmth
of our friendship which has lasted for 65 years plus the
years we spent together at NCC; the compatibility among
us as we share our stories; the strength which comes
to us all from those who have been or are now going
through difficult experiences; and the power of praying
together with and for each other. These are among my
treasured memories of our shared years and lives and
our time together...”
Life after high school and post-secondary education
flung many of these graduates around the world, volunteering for and
working in a variety of fields. Among these alumni, three served as
missionaries in Zambia and India and another served as a missions
volunteer in Zimbabwe. One graduate became a college professor,
three entered the medical field, and one became a municipal officer.
One student worked in the steel industry, two became pastors, one
became a psychiatrist, and six out of the fifteen became educators.
Two brothers in the class were part of a family of eight children, all of
whom attended NCC. Of these eight children, three attended Ontario
Bible School, while the rest of the siblings attended NCC!
Two of the graduates taught at Niagara Christian Collegiate. Some
served on NCC’s board of directors and some on staff. Eight of the
Class of Fifty graduates married other NCC grads, former students,
or NCC staffers. Twelve grandchildren and five great-grandchildren
attended the school.
In 1990, this group decided to create another aspect to their legacy
at NCC by creating the Class of Fifty Endowment Fund. This
fund was established to help purchase educational equipment for the
school. It is evident that these grads place a great deal of value on
the importance of Christian education. With the foundation of faithfilled
learning, they developed life-long friendships, pursued higher
education, and made a difference in lives of countless people around
the world. With this endowment, they want to pave the way for future
graduates of NCC.
We appreciate the generosity and legacy of the Class of 1950 - one
of NCC’s finest! We hope to see you all at Homecoming!

NCC Athletics
NCC’s student athletes produced some great outcomes during the 2014-15 school year both on and off the field.
Representing our Blue and White, the players and teams displayed outstanding Christian character in a season
filled with championships, zone titles and SOSSA medals.
These student athlete and team successes mark the quality of leadership we have in our athletics programs. Our
coaches bring with them numerous years of playing and coaching expertise. This alone can make the difference
between a SOSSA qualifying jump or a last place finish. This talented department helps shape our athletes in becoming
game-changers. Skilled coaching coupled with the countless hours of physical, mental and spiritual training,
enabled our NCC athletes to showcase some of the very best talent in the Niagara Region.
ATHLETIC AWARDS
We have a great list of award winners this season. Each year,
we make sure to take the time to honor each one of them in a formal
setting that highlights every one of their accomplishments.
The NCC athletes commit hundreds of hours to the sports they
play and showcase their very best skill levels each time they put
on the blue and white.
Andrew Mak is in a league of his own as a team leader, NCC’s
top swimmer, and as an unbelievably polite young gentleman.
The way he breaks waves in the pool is amazing. By the end of
the year Andrew swam his way into the NCC record books and
finished as a TOP (15) fifteen swimmer in Ontario. He was the
winner of OFSAA’s Colin Hood Award and received numerous
votes for Athlete of the Year.
Andrew Mak & Coach Trombley
Not to be outdone, two other NAVS could also grab the “something
special” title in rising seniors - Tina Bohin and Christena
Spadznski. Each of them suited up for every NCC female sport
in 2014/15 and not only competed, but were named captains and
starters on every team. The sheer determination and commitment
these girls bring to the field, court or diamond is inspiring.
Spend one minute talking to either of them and you will see the
core of NCC Athletics shining brightly. Both give every ounce of
the God-given talents they have in everything they do.
Our coaches are top notch, our system is the very best, and as
a result, 99% of our athletes yield continuous improvement. We
have seen players that barely make the roster in tryouts go on to
play key roles in playoff games. Others who join as team managers
sport the Blue and White themselves on game day. Of course, not
all the player development
is the same, but overall it is
truly amazing.
To watch young men and
women athletes of NCC go
from fragile to formidable
with the right training, encouragement,
and motivation,
is a testament to the
positive input ever-present
on campus. The learning
curve is high, the performance
level is vastly increased,
and as a result, we
have many 2014/15 SOSSA
champions in athletes like
Track & Field jumper
Solomon Awobem.
Hollie Warkentin
Encouragement is at the forefront and our coaches seek out the
best in the players, never allowing their talents to be second-rate or
allowing fear to hold them back. I believe that this is a development
structure under which NCC and our NAV Nation can be proud.
“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one
gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone
who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to
get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last
forever.” 1 Corinthians 9:24-25
James Kryger, Athletic Director
Christena Spadzinski & Tina Bohin
Timi Owoturo

AT THE TOP OF HER GAME
TINA BOHIN
Knowing that this issue of the Collegian would be focussing on
holistic student success, and, specifically, on the character traits,
talents and abilities that translate into such success, it was no surprise
when I was asked to write a few words about Tina Bohin.
This September, Tina will enter her fourth and final year at NCC
as a serious candidate for every major award NCC offers: Valedictorian,
Salutatorian, Duodecimus, as well as Athlete of the Year. As
her entire secondary career has been at NCC, our staff has had
the opportunity to be a part of the process of Tina’s growth, watching
as she has matured into a strong, intelligent, passionate young
woman, one who already now exemplifies the characteristics we
so intentionally try to cultivate in our graduates - the traits we have
come to believe are foundational to our students’ future success.
Born in Annecy, a small town in France, Tina later moved to Detroit
and then, at age ten, to São Paulo, Brazil, where she lives now. Independent,
resourceful, and responsible, Tina is also quick to credit
her upbringing for who she has become. “It's cliché,” she says, “but
I definitely would consider my parents as my biggest role models;
they are both hard-working, independent individuals, and I strive
to (one day) succeed like they do.” That hard-working nature has
evidently been cultivated in Tina as well; in Grade 11, Tina played
on five sports teams, carried a full course load, participated in multiple
clubs on campus as well as the school play, and maintained an
average of 93% for the academic year.
Her work ethic is wonderfully complimented by her uniquely
resolute determination for personal growth and success. This
pairing of traits is evident in her academics as well as in her
athletics. Of the five sports she competed in last year, Tina considered
volleyball her favorite, saying, “I’ve always had a passion
for it.” And that passion bred success as, last year, Tina
captained a young senior girls’ volleyball team to their first playoff
run in over five years. She has a broad range of interests,
identifying her favorite subjects as Chemistry and English and
referencing her desire to study Biochemistry in university before
doing graduate work in Forensic Science (while sharing that she
likes to “read books and write short stories in [her] spare time”).
Tina is a uniquely gifted young woman. It would seem that she
is en route to success with whichever passion she decides to
pursue, and she is a good model, also, of the character traits
that we, at NCC, have committed to fostering in every student
welcomed onto our campus. Our community is stronger because
of the students that come through our doors - students
like Tina Bohin - and we, in return, are determined to fulfill the
mission of NCC by educating every one of those students towards
significant emotional, spiritual, and academic growth and
“empowering them to make a difference in the world”.

VIRGINIA WONG
SALUTATORIAN
Virginia was chosen by her peers to represent their class
by addressing the audience at graduation. She has been
a student at NCC for the past two years. During this time
Virginia has been involved in many aspects of school life,
committing to participate in music, drama, and student
leadership. She has, throughout her time at NCC, demonstrated
high levels of personal integrity and a commitment
to excellence in all things.
The Duodecimus Award is the highest honour given to an
NCC graduate. This award was established by the Grade
12 Class of 1963. The recipient for this award is selected
based on the following criteria:
• The graduate making the most significant contribution
to the total life of NCC
• Spiritually, socially, academically superior
• Participant in at least one major extracurricular activity
• Strong contributor to school spirit, displaying a positive
attitude toward NCC
This award is voted on by a committee representing NCC
administration, faculty, residence directors, and students.
As this year’s Duodecimus recipient, Virginia has consistently
shown a strong desire to be a part of our school
community. While at NCC, she has committed her time and
talents to our school in many ways. Two of the most profound
have been in the arts and in student leadership.
In the arts program, this young woman has excelled: In
music, as a member of our award-winning choir program
participating in events both local and national; in drama, as
a cast and crew member taking prominent roles on stage
and working behind the scenes to support the wonderful
productions NCC has put on in the past two years; in visual
arts, as a nationally recognized and awarded artist who
has submitted pieces to several shows. One of her pieces
now hangs on permanent display in my office! In student
leadership, this young lady was elected by her peers to be
on the executive of the student council, leading our student
body by setting the tone for events on campus and pushing
us to participate in activities that built school spirit and a
strong sense of community.
All of this has been accomplished while Virginia maintained
a graduating average of close to 92% and an attitude
marked by kindness, grace, and a quick smile. She
has consistently demonstrated a strong desire to be a part
of our school community, and through the use of her many
gifts and abilities she has become an exemplary young
woman, someone I am so proud to count in our alumni roll
as she moves on to university next year. I am confident that
she will continue to grow and thrive in the years to come as
an architecture student at the University of Toronto.
I am pleased to have presented the 2015 Duodecimus
award to a very deserving young woman, Miss Virginia
Wong.

SCOTT SUTHERLAND
Each year, one graduate is selected as the top grade 12
student with NCC’s Academic Proficiency medallion and
one student is selected to receive the Governor General’s
medal as having the highest academic standing in
all grade 11 and 12 courses taken in Ontario. This year,
these awards were presented to the same individual.
The Governor General’s Medal is awarded to the graduate
with the highest academic standing. This award is
based on a calculation of the average of final marks of all
grade 11 and grade 12 courses taken in the Province of
Ontario.
This year, I had the privilege of watching students compete
for the Governor General’s medal. In the end the top
graduate was able to maintain an average of 95.4% over
17 courses taken in grades 11 and 12. This kind of sustained
pursuit of academic excellence is something to be
recognized and rewarded!
Scott also received NCC’s Academic Proficiency award
for the graduating class of 2014. Selected by the faculty,
Scott maintained an average over 97% in classes this
year while also committing to a high degree of involvement
in student activities on campus.
This young man came to NCC in grade 4 and has consistently
been at the top of his class. We are very proud to
be sending him on to the University of Alberta where I am
sure that he will continue achieving at the same incredibly
high level.
On behalf of NCC, I presented the Grade 12 Academic
proficiency award and on behalf of the Governor General
of Canada, his Excellency, the Right Honourable David
Johnston, I was pleased to present the Bronze Academic
Medal to Scott Sutherland.
This year Scott was not only our top academic graduate,
he was also selected by the faculty to be our valedictorian.
The Valedictorian Award is given on the basis of outstanding
academic achievement and significant contribution to
school life. Scott has definitely accomplished that with a
proven academic record
and a high level
of engagement in
student life at NCC.
Congratulations,
Scott, on completing
an exemplary year!

Owning each Day
in Middle School
Our class motto this year in the Middle
School was “Own Each Day”. I challenged
each of my students to CHOOSE to own
every aspect of his or her life, to believe in
themselves, and to use the gifts and abilities
God gave them.
Whether it was academic, athletic, or spiritual
aspects of life, the Middle School students
embraced this motto. During athletics,
our teams competed with purpose, desire,
sportsmanship and heart. As a class we
created a community of learners supporting
and challenging one another. Spiritually
we engaged in discussions and prayed
with and for each other. In short, our class
accepted my challenge to “Own Each Day"!
Evidence of this excellence can be found
in our top 5 Scholarship/Award recipients.
Caleb Raveenthran, a grade 7 student,
won the “Kaumeyer Paper Products Scholarship”.
This was due to Caleb’s positive
contribution and leadership during class,
his consistency in academic work, and his
intrinsic motivation to meet success.
The second major award was the “NCC
Auxiliary Scholarship”. This year’s recipient
was Ashley Backshall. Ashley has attended
NCC from grades 6-8 and plans to continue
her high school education at NCC. She has
had an excellent overall positive contribution
to the life of NCC. She has demonstrated
leadership academically and spiritually.
“The Byrd Bohannan Scholarship” is
awarded each year to a student with consistency
of Christian character, indication
of spiritual leadership, willingness to be involved
in the spiritual life of the school, and
achievement in academic work commensurate
with potential. Samira Mohammadi, this
year’s winner, fits the above description and
is an excellent example of what it means to
excel in Christian education.
Another prestigious award is the “Chad
Parker Memorial Scholarship”.This scholarship
was awarded to Heather LaHay.
Heather will be continuing in Christian education
at NCC. She demonstrated positive
leadership qualities both academically and
spiritually. Heather always led by example
and has the desire to succeed.
Lastly, the Valedictorian Award was presented
to two deserving young ladies, Ashley
Backshall and Isabella Nitsopoulos, for their
outstanding academic performance, contribution
to school life, and their support of the
ideals of Niagara Christian Collegiate.
The Middle School Faculty at NCC truly
believes that we are able to motivate our
students by ascertaining their educational
strengths and abilities and discovering what
truly inspires them. We create a stimulating
learning environment that encourages a
community of 21st century learners, while
fostering individual confidence in each student.
As a result, our school’s mission statement
rings true as we “...educate students
with excellence in a family-like atmosphere,
equipping them to grow God’s Kingdom and
empowering them to make a difference in the
world.”
Anthony Haughton,
Middle School Lead Teacher

MASTERING ENGLISH
English Language Learners (ELLs) who are
studying at NCC are well taken care of. From
the first day of assessment testing to the final
graduation ceremony, teachers and staff at NCC
work diligently with these students to ensure a
smooth transition to an advanced level of fluency
in English.
Students receive support through our ESL program,
the after-school learning resource labs,
classroom teacher assistance, online resources,
post-secondary English testing preparation
(IELTS), and the after-school tutoring program.
The ESL program at NCC assists students to
develop the language skills and knowledge necessary
for success in academic classes. ESL
classes are designed to help students improve
in their ability to communicate fluently in English;
develop other skills and acquire specific English
needed to progress in academic classes; develop
an understanding of the Canadian culture;
and advance in all language related skill areas.
Learning resource labs in English, Math, and
Science are available for students requiring extra
help in understanding a classroom concept;
teachers are available during and after class to
assist students; online resources provide a selfhelp
area for students; IELTS testing preparation
and on-campus IELTS testing is provided;
and finally, the after-school tutoring program
provides qualified tutors who are able to assist
students in all subject areas.
ELL’s usually need four or more years of 5+
hours of daily English study to develop academic
language skills equal to successful Canadian
students. Advancement is accelerated when
there is a meaningful and purposeful connection
Kaye
Michelle

Flora Thiago Jessica Chris
between English and everyday life. To this purpose, NCC enrolls ELL’s in ESL courses, in
regular academic courses, and strongly encourages participation in extracurricular activities.
It is exciting to see English Language Learners succeed! A few of the many stories of success
can be found in the photo above.
Flora, a student from China, came to NCC with very little English. Flora’s determination to
learn and involvement in school life helped her to advance quickly. She became a student
leader and an excellent example of being purposeful.
Michelle, Kaye, and Chris, students from Hong Kong, and Michelle from Mexico, were
purposeful in speaking in English, participating in extracurricular clubs, and sharing their
English skills as peer helpers in the classroom. This involvement brought them friends from
other cultures and advancement in the skills of speaking and listening.
Thiago from Hong Kong is never afraid to try; he has made friends from other cultures, and
is also involved in extracurricular activities. Way to go! And Jessica, from China, is following
in Flora’s footsteps. Jessica is highly motivated and is striding forward confidently.
These are only a few of the many stories of success. These are students that are fully engaged
and highly motivated in using available resources at NCC, and who have advanced
in English at a consistent or at an accelerated speed and that found the English connection.
Jacqueline Angi-Dobos, ESL Teacher
A BIBLICAL MODEL OF COMMUNITY
In August of 2014, I attended my first staff
meeting as a newly hired faculty member at
NCC. After worship and prayer, Mr. Thiessen
offered the staff a Galations-inspired challenge:
To strengthen our sense of community, we need
to be vulnerable enough to share our burdens
and to carry them together. At the time, I appreciated
being welcomed into such a place,
but I now realize how vital this Biblical model of
community is to student success; it creates an
atmosphere where students can be nurtured not
only academically, but also in their faith journeys
and character development.
The students at NCC are cared for by staff
and faculty who understand how best to use
their God-given strengths while acknowledging
where they may struggle. Part of what fosters a
healthy community at NCC is the willingness of
its members to admit when they need help and
to support those who seek it.
Speaking from a teacher’s perspective, I know
I serve my students better when I recognize
where a creative colleague’s ideas will make
my lesson more engaging, when I seek input
from administration to ensure my assessment
practices are sound, or when I ask resource
teachers for instructional strategies to address
students’ learning needs. This open exchange
of ideas and resources builds an appreciation
for what happens across the curriculum and
brings a kind of contagious energy to the classroom
that promotes student engagement.
Building a sense of community at NCC also
means making it a place where students feel
free to ask questions. Healthy discussion in
the classroom begins with teachers who welcome
challenging questions, even when they
may not have answers. In The Vocation of the
Christian Scholar, Richard T. Hughes writes,
“...blessed is the student of that teacher who
embraces wonder and imagination, for that
student will soon discover that there is knowing
in the midst of not knowing, and answers in
the midst of questions.” If in the classroom students
understand that there is as much to be
learned in seeking answers as in finding them,
they begin to explore for
themselves tough questions
about identity and
self-worth, integrity, sexuality,
and spirituality. At
NCC, staff members are
intentional about promoting
opportunities for
discussion around the
important questions our students are asking—whether
in chapel, in the dorms, in
small groups, or in daily interactions with
students as they work, play, and study.
What we hope for our students is that
in seeking answers to their questions—
especially the ones that are difficult to
answer—we can guide them, as Hughes
writes, to “...the God who is both Mystery
and Truth and who comes to us in our
weakness, not in our strength.”
…to educate students with excellence.

ALUMNI UPDATE
Carla Veldman is an animation filmmaker
and stop-motion artist. A Sheridan graduate
and lover of stories, Carla enjoys the
tactile and textural world of puppet animation.
Since entering the industry in 2010,
Carla has had the pleasure of working on
both commercial and independent film
projects, the most current being a film of
her own.
“I attended NCC from 2003 to 2006. One
of the reasons my parents sent me
and my siblings there was for its solid
art program. I knew that I wanted to
get into Sheridan College's animation
program even before entering high
school (I grew up on Disney and upon
seeing The Prince of Egypt in grade 6,
decided I wanted to be a part of making
animated films), and both my art teachers
(Mrs. Vicki Burd, and Mrs. Laurie
Blue) were excellent instructors and
challenged me, as well as my peers, to
constantly improve.
"I got into Sheridan's animation
program straight from high school and
while there was a steep learning curve
involved, I honestly don't believe I
could have been there at all without the
preparation, instruction, and dedication
of the art teachers from NCC. I have
good memories of the Collegiate, and
I'm grateful for the quality education I
received there. (I should also mention
my appreciation for NCC's rigorous academics;
they were a good challenge,
and most of my college electives were
quite paltry in comparison).
"Since graduating from Sheridan
I've been freelancing in the Toronto

animation industry as well as involving
myself in a number of independent film

short film which has received an Arts
Council grant.”

great success in her animation career!

GIFTING
Scholarships at NCC
A scholarship is a grant or payment made to support a student’s
education, awarded on the basis of academic or other
achievement. NCC internally funds four types of scholarships
for students attending our school: Academic, Music/Art, Community
Service and Athletic.
Other unique scholarships are also awarded which reflect the
values and purpose of donors or founders of the scholarship.
These types of scholarships can be created to either help the
student pay for their education at NCC or to help pay for postsecondary
education. Anyone can give to either NCC’s general
scholarship fund or work with NCC to create a scholarship with
specific criteria.
Scholarships are important for students who attend NCC, as
approximately 20% of our students receive scholarships to
help them fund their education. Being able to offer scholarships
helps NCC maintain a strong presence academically, compete
in athletics, excel in the arts and attract young men and women
of character to our school.
For more information on supporting the NCC scholarship fund
or creating a custom scholarship, contact Scott Herron at:
