Extra-Curricular

At Venta, we believe that education is not merely a question of classroom instruction. 

For a child to develop socially, it is important to learn how to listen to, and interact with, others.  These skills must be acquired and practiced on a daily basis.  Social learning outside the classroom results in positive changes in classroom performance.  All extra-curricular activities are planned with this goal in mind.

Extra-Curricular Activities Include:

  • drama productions
  • inter-school sports
  • intramural sports
  • Duke of Edinburgh Award
  • Science Fair
  • Heritage Fair
  • public speaking competitions
  • art exhibitions/competitions
  • community service
  • Venta Vipers Running Club
  • NCSSA (National Capital Secondary School Athletic Association)
  • fundraising for local charities 

Throughout the year, Venta students participate in a variety of trips and activities that complement the Venta educational program.

Examples include trips to:

  • Europe (senior students)
  • Full School 4 Day Ski Trip to Stoneham, Quebec
  • Outdoor Wilderness Trips
