ECA Review/Submitted
HPS archery aiming for victory!
by Frances Coral
Since September,
Hughenden Public School
(HPS) has been spiking and
three-pointing their way
through championships.
But now, HPS is ready to
pick up the bows and
arrows.
Archery season has officially
begun.
Last Wednesday, students
from elementary to high
school had the targets set up
for their first practice.
Twenty-eight students
had signed up for the team,
with the school principal
Mr. Ryan Duffett as their
coach.
They will continue to
practice until the tournament
day comes, which is on
March 14 in Edmonton.
Thirteen students are
confirmed as going to the
competition and probably
more will join.
Disconnect Challenge
Cont’d from Pg 8
Some students and staff chose to
participate in a Disconnect Challenge
throughout the month of February.
Starting on Feb. 10, participants
logged how much screen time they
used for the whole week. On Feb. 17,
they disconnected and found non-electronic
focussed ways to occupy their
time.
Fifty people took on the challenge,
including student’s family members,
and they recorded their experiences
during the “technology fast”.
It was interesting to hear how
everyone felt throughout the challenge,
how they chose to spend their
extra time, and what their personal
thoughts were on the experience.
The goal of the challenge was to help
find a balance, and to better understand
the use of technology, within
their lives.
Students who participated enjoyed a
hot dog roast on Feb. 21, to celebrate
the end of their fasting.
Shrove Tuesday
The Grade 1/2 class presented to the
whole school about Shrove Tuesday on
Feb. 25, also fondly known as Pancake
Day around the world.
Shrove Tuesday is an important day
in the Christian calendar, as it marks
the day before the beginning of Lent.
Pancakes are commonly eaten on
this day to use up ingredients like
eggs, milk, and butter before the
season of Lent begins and people
sometimes give up rich things like
these while fasting.
Ash Wednesday
On the following day, the school participated
in an Ash Wednesday liturgy,
where they all received ashes on their
foreheads to represent the beginning
of Lent.
The beginning of Lent is also a very
important time in the Church and the
act of having ashes put on your forehead
is a sign of repentance.
Students and staff are now
observing Lent for the next 40 days,
not counting Sundays, and some chose
to give up something for this period in
the same manner that Jesus fasted for
40 days before starting his ministry.
Different and unique
The Kindergarten class has been
learning in religion class about how
they are all made different and all
have unique talents. They spent many
days talking about what those special
talents are and practicing their favourite
one, before performing them for
parents at a Talent Show on Feb. 27.
Dress-up theme days
There were three dress-up theme
days during the month of February.
First, 70’s Day was a fun Spirit Day
organized by the Theresetta Student’s
Union on Feb. 19. The next dress-up
day was Pink Shirt Day on Feb. 28 to
stand up to the bullies by making the
statement that they stood with their
classmate, but also make sure
everyone knew that bullying would
not be accepted.
The third dress-up day was wearing
stripes for Rare Disease Day on Feb.
28. Theresetta participated in this day,
along with many in Castor, to show
awareness for the many people in our
world, and those specifically in our
community, who are living with rare
diseases.
Duffett is teaching them techniques
to improve their marksman skills.
For example, they use cards as the
main target instead of the bullseye
point.
This helps with control of their
aiming and shooting.
Compared to volleyball and basketball,
where athletes get to run and
jump, archery isn’t a very active sport.
But according to Duffett, this sport is
still beneficial.

“Students get to practice focus and
discipline in a fun setting,” he said. “In
our area where we rely on hunting, students
get the opportunity to learn at a
young age and they can transfer skills
for hunting when they’re older.”
Grade 7 student Declan Lawrason
agrees that the sport has his attention.
“This is my second year; there’s
never a dull moment in archery,” said
Lawrason.
