Extracurricular Student Activities
Programs run by students, for students, are important and widespread and give students the opportunity to organize students' union events such as Touch of Class, Aloha Ainlay, Halloween, Christmas Week, Culturefest and Oktoberfest. Many clubs, including the History Movie Club, Habitat for Humanity, Games Club, Me to We, Amnesty International, Knitting Club, Anime Club, High School Model United Nations, Equal Rights Ainlay, The Titanic Newspaper, and Encounters With Canada, are available at Ainlay as well, with plenty of opportunities to start new clubs or associations.
New grade 10 students, coming to Ainlay are invited to take part in Link Crew, a program used across the country to get students acquainted with the school, meet new friends and register for school on their own for the first time.
Motivated students may also submit applications to 2 Councils and various Executive Committees to take a more vigorous participation in a certain activity.
The Student Council is a body that oversees the general student activities and is led by an elected Student Council President, assisted by an appointed Executive Assistant. The Student Council has 4 appointed Vice Presidents, each overseeing a Board of 3 grade Representatives. In total, there are 18 members, with a few exceptions.
The Graduation Council is a body that oversees the graduating class and the execution of the graduation ceremonies. Like the Student Council, it is led by an elected President. The Graduation Council President is assisted by the Vice President, who is appointed. Then there are many positions that correspond to specific needs of the Graduation, such as raising funds, advertisements, sponsors, finances, secretarial services, banquet, commencement, media technicalities, and etc. The participation in the Graduation Council, including its Presidential Elections, requires you to be a member of the graduating class.
In addition to the two Councils that are headed by elected Presidents, many Executive Committees exist to provide more specific needs and entertainment to the school's community. These Executive Committees are appointed by Teacher Advisors, including the Committee's leader. Executive Committees in the school include: Anime Club/Soba Bowl Festival Executive Committee, Awards Board Committee, Battle of the Bands Committee, Culture Fest Executive Committee, Link Crew Executive Committee, Me to We Executive Committee, Titans International Executive Committee, Touch of Class Executive Committee, Tri-Prov Executive Committee, TVT Executive Committee, Yearbook Committee, and etc.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or activities:
“The roaring alongside he takes for granted,
and that every so often the world is bound to shake.
He runs, he runs to the south, finical, awkward,
in a state of controlled panic, a student of Blake.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
“Both gossip and joking are intrinsically valuable activities. Both are essentially social activities that strengthen interpersonal bonds—we do not tell jokes and gossip to ourselves. As popular activities that evade social restrictions, they often refer to topics that are inaccessible to serious public discussion. Gossip and joking often appear together: when we gossip we usually tell jokes and when we are joking we often gossip as well.”
—Aaron Ben-Ze’Ev, Israeli philosopher. “The Vindication of Gossip,” Good Gossip, University Press of Kansas (1994)
