Ebenezer Canadian Reformed School
As a class you have selected as your graduation theme God’s words as recorded in Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrifi ed; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”In this chapter, Joshua has just taken over the leadership of Israel and God is charging him with his task to lead God’s people into the land God is giving them. He is also reminding Joshua that he is to be careful to do all that he has been commanded in the laws given from God to Israel. Th is command also sets the context for your life as Christians today. You are to study, know and apply
God’s law to your life and do that with confi dence.God does not make that task something Joshua or you are to do in your own strength. In His grace and love He assures you that He will be with you wherever you go. Th at enables you to never be afraid or discouraged but rather to be strong and courageous. As you go from Grade 12 into the next phase of life keep these words, these fi rm promises in mind and be fi lled with the confi dence to enter “the land” beyond Grade 12.Derek Stoff elsPrincipal

Bulkley Valley Christian School
Th is spring the parents of BVCS approved the fi nal version of a graduate profi le. While it is understood that our grads are unique individuals who are at various stages in their faith life, it is the hope of our teachers, parents, and supporters that aft er twelve years of Christian education our grads possess at least some of the ideals we have for them. It is our hope that they “have mastered the foundational skills necessary for their unique calling in life;” that they “are responsive disciples of Jesus Christ who live with the realization that all of life is meant to be lived in service to Christ;” that they “are committed to actions that are socially
just, peaceable, tolerant, and compassionate;” that they “think critically, test the spirits of this age, and show thoughtful discernment.” (Excerpts from the BVCS graduate profi le).As you continue to pursue diff erent goals, whether at post-secondary institutions or in the work force it is our hope and prayer that you will continue to live life as faithful disciples of Christ. Everyone at BVCS wishes you God’s blessing.Klaas KortPrincipal

You are all deservedly proud of your accomplishments. These are exciting times for you and your families as you feel the elevator-like lift of freedom in your gut. The urge to revel is in you and I encourage you do that. Celebrate this signature event in your lives. Grab hold of the moment with your friends, parents and siblings and then squeeze all the pleasure you can out of it. All too soon the responsibilities of further study, work and the day to day of the future will be upon you.
Now is the time to show the world that you have made it this far, and are determined to take the next steps.
Congratulations from all of us at The Interior News.

12 | Graduation Celebration!
I would like to fi rst congratulate the fi ne young men and women of the graduating class of 2012. Th ey have conducted themselves in a manner that has made all of us proud. Soon they will be entering a world that is unimaginably diff er-ent from that of even the previous generation. I am confi dent, though, that this talented group will be more than up to the challenge.I trust that our graduates appreciate this wonderful valley and the family, community members and teachers who have nur-tured them along the way. I have no doubt that the best is yet to come and look forward to hearing of their future contribu-tions and accomplishments. It is my sincere hope that they leave Smithers Secondary with fond memories and I wish them well in the pursuit of their dreams.
