HEADMASTER'S MESSAGE WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT GOING TO STRATHCONA-TWEEDSMUIR? Those of you at the School may find some of what I am saying a little humourous for you know what is different about going to S.T.S. Those of you who are older will perhaps have said the same things in different ways. There is not one easy phrase to sum up this difference but I am going to try to put into words what I feel the difference is. First of all, it is not the bus ride, for many,many students ride buses, it is not the uniform, although this is a part of itg it is not the facilities or the setting but this is a part of it. No, I feel it is the spirit or the feeling of the place that is the difference. All of the people that are part of the Strathcona-Tweedsmuir family add to this spirit and feeling. Because we are small enough to call ourselves a family, the spirit of each one of us comes out and affects each and every one of us. There is a feeling of concern that permeates the atmosphereg concern from teacher about teachers. We all care and we all matter. This is why perhaps, our School is a bit tougher than some other schools. We know that life today requires a great deal of stamina, a great deal of toughness and so we want our lives at the School to be realistic and not soft or easy. We want those who go on to higher education to know what they are getting into and arrive at university knowing what hard work is and how to do it. We want those who go into the professions, into business, into any job, to know how to compete and how to strive for excellence. So we show our concern by making the School something that is not average. The School is not average nor is it mediocre. We work harder and we play harder. We do not look for the easy way out. We hope that each and every one of us can let the love that is within us come out so that in our dealings with each other the genuiness of our concern, our feelings radiates about us. An S.T.S'er should have at the least, gained from this loving concern the following 3 S's . Standards, Strength and Style. By Standards I mean standards of behaviour as well as standards of work and play. Standards that show up in our public and private lives because we are proud of them. We are not afraid to take a stand - to show our standards when we run into groups or individuals that do not have the standards we do. Strength - strength of mind and body and character to do battle with those things we encounter in life that we know are beneath our standards. We don't get this strength by taking the easy way. Style - the prepossession of a person, the dignity of a person that shows those around him or her that here is a different kind of person. Here is a person with self control. Here is a courteous person that knows how to behave in all kinds of situations because that person has learned good manners. Here is a tolerant person that can understand other people, their weaknesses and their foibles. Here is a kind person. One who goes out of his or her way to be helpful, to find ways to make the other persons job easier. So this is what is different about going to Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School. We are all trying to build our standards, our strengths and our style by putting together a School. A School where consideration for others is not a motto or a catch phrase but a way of life.
