Pilot program raises student attendance ESTEEM earns solid reviews at Arviat high school

by Darrell Greer

Arviat

A program still in its infancy is beginning to pay big dividends this school year at John Arnalukjuak High School in Arviat.

Principal Romeo Fournier said the Empowering Students Through Elders Education and Mentorship (ESTEEM) program is a collaborative effort between both Inuit and non-Inuit staff members at the school.

The program was conceived when staff members were devising methods to increase school attendance and began reflecting on why a student would want to be in school, he said.

“The approach gave us food for thought and a chance to reflect upon what we’re offering our students,” said Fournier. “If I were a student, would I want to come to this school? What kind of programs would help me if I had anxiety issues or challenges with my reading or my math – or would this school be able to support me if I were experiencing some challenge outside of the school?”

“We really started focusing on the needs of our students, rather than just trying to come up with ways to push them all back inside,” he continued. “We started to identify our students need to feel empowered, that they belong, that they’re connected to their culture and elders. And, most importantly, what we want from our students when they leave high school is to become leaders within the community and at the territorial and national levels.”

The unique student-centred and trauma-informed ESTEEM program has produced a spike in overall attendance and has had a positive effect on a number of individual students with the introduction of initiatives such as the Pilimmaksarniq centre, which Fournier said is like a living room space in the school.

The centre is named after the Inuit value of skill acquisition and refinement.

“It was actually our vice-principal, Nancy Uluadluak, who came up with the name because she felt very strongly that this alternative space should be a place where students can acquire the life skills they need,” said Fournier. “It’s designed to be a place for students to get some of the support they need to cope with their challenges and also where they can focus on their academics, try to get caught up with some work, and get things finished so they can succeed academically.”

Cheryl Nibgoarsi reads the script of Inuk and the Sun at John Arnalukjuak High School (JAHS) in Arviat this past month. Students have greater input into school affairs under JAHS’s new ESTEEM program.

Fournier said providing an alternative space is in answer to those students having challenges in class – rather than being sent to the office and their parents called – and provides a space where they can develop coping skills and learn how to self-regulate.

“We owe a big thanks to various families, community groups

and businesses that have donated product or given us access to resources,” he said. “The Grade 12 graduating class played a large part in how the space was to be laid out, which was our way of empowering them to leave a legacy behind.”

Fournier said the staff is cognizant about growth over time with the ESTEEM program; taking small, manageable goals to slowly build capacity, and having things grow at a natural, organic rate.

He said the approach has been going great so far.

“The ESTEEM program is designed to create a more student-focused school, so there’s been a lot of input from our students, and a lot of listening and consulting with our local staff members,” he said.

One student who had not been attending school reached out to Fournier, who invited the family in to show them the space and explain its advantages, including having at least two staff members on-site, supervising the room at all times.

The student came back, attended the room regularly and worked with the guidance counsellor and vice-principal.

“I’m happy to say the student went from being inside the alternative space every day to slowly starting to request to be brought back to class, and is now on track to graduate,” said Fournier.

The student likely would have continued skipping class and most likely would never have graduated were it not for the ESTEEM program, he said.

These little success stories – and there have a been a few of them this year – allow staff to see the benefits of the program continuing in the future.

“We have another alternative space which is basically a wellness room focused on student inclusion and specialized support,” he said. “Students who may have behavioural issues, are on special educational plans, or who consistently get in trouble in class are brought into this wellness room to meet with elders, and work closely with our student support assistants and student support teacher.

“It’s a space where students can go – if they’re having emotional or behavioural challenges – to regroup, get some coping strategies and direct assistance from elders and staff, and eventually go back to class,” he continued. “The other alternative would have been to send them home, so, between these two spaces and other initiatives, we’ve been able to slowly steer the ship in a different direction.”

Leo (Dali) Kaludjak returned to the winner’s circle by capturing the Senior Division of the Kivalliq Challenge snowmobile races in Rankin Inlet on May 8.

The races were scheduled to run in Rankin on May 5 and 6, but bad weather forced the championship heat in the Senior Division to be moved to May 8 from its originally scheduled time.

Troy Makpah captured the Junior Division crown (18 years of age and younger), while Ross Tatty grabbed the checkered flag in the Master’s Division (35 and older).

A total of $42,000 in prize money was handed out between the three divisions this year.

Race organizer and coordinator Noel Kaludjak has been running the Kivalliq Challenge races for the past five years.

He said this year’s track was about 5.1 kilometres long and stayed very smooth for the racers despite the weather.

The juniors ran an eight-lap race, while the masters ran a 10-lap race. The Senior Division ran eight laps per heat in the qualifying heats, with the semifinals being 10 laps and the championship final 20 laps.

The number of racers in the Master’s Division was way down this year, with only six taking part, said Kaludjak.

“The number may have gone down because I lowered the top prize to $3,000 from $5,000 the previous year, but we also lowered the entry fee from $300 down to just $150 this year,” he said.

Noel said the competition was fairly close this year, especially in the Junior Division.

He said there were a couple of wipeouts and one minor injury.

“The Senior Division was very, very fast this year,” he said. “Last year’s winner (Nanaouq Tanuyak) didn’t even make the finals this year. I think there may have been something wrong with his machine because he just wasn’t racing that fast.”

The weather was not great for this

year’s senior final, but everything worked out in the end and the crowds were extremely enthusiastic.

Race organizer steps down Noel announced before the races that he would be stepping down from running the Kivalliq Challenge after this year’s winner was crowned.

“Next year I want to enjoy the races by just watching and taking lots of pictures and, besides, it’s time to let the younger guys take over,” he said. “The first few years were just awesome, but the past couple of years it was all starting to get to me. I almost didn’t do it this year, but, I thought, no, I’ll do it one more year and then step aside.”

“I’ll still help out here and there,” he continued. “But it’s time for someone else to take control of the event because I won’t be around forever.” bf l A ᒪᓕᒃᓴᕐᓂᖅ m4WZz 8

Community input a valuable commodity Northern News Services

Community input is a valuable commodity.

It’s been quite refreshing to see Coun. Kelly Clark-Lindell soliciting community input as Rankin Inlet’s hamlet council moves cautiously and, hopefully, realistically forward on a new community centre.

The needs of our community are many, and while an elder’s facility should be at or near the top of everyone’s wish list, a community centre would fight social isolation.

Ditto a number of the other suggestions that have made their way back to Clark-Lindell.

However, whether 80 per cent or 10 per cent of the ideas sent to the councillor prove themselves to be feasible, the fact she’s been actively seeking input from community members is a refreshing change of pace.

Yes, council sessions are open to the public. That’s a crutch so many councillors of the past decade have leaned upon that there should be a silver variation hanging in council chambers to serve as a reminder to the average person.

Were council to meet during the evening hours, the open-to-the-public notion would carry a bit more weight, but, not so with afternoon meetings that preclude the attendance of the vast majority of the working public.

And don’t get me started on the number of times hamlet council has historically gone in-camera to debate issues that fall outside of the Municipal Act’s guidelines for doing so –

the habit of which made even me a the arena side of the community’s current building for hockey games stranger to council chambers.

There is a tangible malaise con- than it is to enforce them on the cerning being open and accountable community centre side during Pakalto the public affecting all levels of lak Tyme.

However it goes about happening, government these days, and muniand no matter who signs cipal governments are far the cheques to construct from immune to that mindit at the end of the day, a set. new community centre is In fact – given the reluca project Rankin Inlet has tance or outright refusal of to get right the first time. the Government of NunaThat is why public convut and the various Inuit sultation and community associations to let their input is so vital to the proemployees and members cess. We can’t afford to sit on a hamlet council – mess this one up. an argument can be made DARRELL No matter what the final that they feel the negative GREER wish list of programs and effect of that malaise both infrastructure includes, directly and indirectly, making them even more vulnerable than one would have to view maximizing space as one of the main keys to its most.

And, to be brutally honest, there success.

Having the ulu-making space of is only so much any council can achieve in a community without the afternoon become the fur-workmuch of a tax base, and one’s sense ing and sewing space of the evening of public accountability is certainly is paramount to the success of any not enhanced when one is almost multi-functional building.

Hopefully, Clark-Lindell is compilalways playing with house money.

Still, elected office by its very ing a significantly-sized list of ideas nature has to be held to a higher on viable programming and utilizing standard if it is to have any chance space for maximum impact that can be applied to numerous programs of balance or success.

Naujaat cadets earn silver stars Ten members complete expedition training at Turtle Mountain, Manitoba

Canoeing was one of the favourite activities among a group of 10 Naujaat cadets who took their silver star training at Turtle Mountain Provincial Park in Manitoba on May 5 and 6.

Naujaat

A group of 10 Naujaat cadets took a significant step up the achievement ladder by completing their silver star expedition training at Turtle Mountain Territorial Park just outside of Winnipeg earlier this month.

Jean Siusangnark was also able to make the trip in the capacity of a staff cadet.

Capt. Lloyd Francis said cadets do their silver star training at the end of their third year in the program, before moving onto gold star training at the end of their fourth year.

Cadets in their fifth or sixth year of the program can apply to regional, national or international expeditions.

“If you do one of those three now, you qualify to be a staff cadet on the expeditions,” said Francis. “They changed it to kind of put in more leadership roles for the older cadets and keep them interested in the program.”

Along with Siusangnark – who completed a regional expedition – Warrant Officer Jack Kopak also completed a regional competition and Chief Warrant Officer Terance Mapsalak did an international expedition.

“All three of them are qualified to be staff cadets on our expeditions now,” said Francis.

Travelling away from Naujaat often means different things to different cadets. A trip to Winnipeg can be old hat for some cadets, while for others it is a first time experience.

Master Cpl. Melanie Kaunak, 15, said she

enjoyed hiking and learning new skills during the silver star expedition.

It was a lot of fun, she said, but it was also quite challenging.

“The hiking was kind of tough,” said Kaunak.

“Finishing the silver star training has me really looking forward to when I take my gold star training,” she said. “It will probably be a lot different from this, but I’m still looking forward to it.”

Master Cpl. Darryl Angotingoar, 14, said he was really into the canoeing on the trip.

He had learned to canoe about three years ago, and it was fun getting the chance to do it again, he said.

“I remembered a bit of what I learned the first time and I like being out on the water,” said Angotingoar. “The hiking was fun – we went about 10 kilometres – but it was challenging. There were some hills on the trail, so there was a lot of climbing while we hiked.”

For Master Cpl. Bridgette Malliki, 15, one of the coolest things about her trip to Turtle Mountain was celebrating her birthday on the expedition.

She said it’s a Naujaat tradition to throw water on people on their birthday, and being away on silver star training didn’t give her a break from the custom.

“Fooling around and having my birthday there was cool, but just the travelling itself was cool to me,” said Malliki. “This was my first time at Turtle Mountain and it was nice, but it

was also hot. It was +20 C while we were there and that took a bit to get used to.”

Lance Cpl. Jeannie Katokra, 16, enjoyed the canoeing the Naujaat cadets got to do at Turtle Mountain.

She said this was her first time to ever canoe and she really enjoyed the experience.

“This was my first time down south, so it was a little different for me,” said Katokra.

“We played ball tag on the water when we were canoeing – you had to throw the ball into the other person’s canoe – and I liked that the most. I didn’t really meet many cadets from the other corps because I just liked hanging out with my own group.”

For Cpl. Heather Inaksajak, 15, the trip to

Turtle Mountain represented two firsts.

She said it was her first trip out as a cadet, and it was also her first trip down south.

“I really liked the hiking, even though it was kind of tough,” said Inaksajak. “I like doing physical activities, so the hiking was pretty good for me. The place had nice scenery and all that stuff, but I also found it kind of hot. I liked being in the city more than out at the park.”

Master Cpl. Victor Kridluar, 15, said he enjoyed the expedition and being at the park the most, but he liked at least one thing about the time they spent in Winnipeg.

“We went out to eat at Boston Pizza and that was good,” said Kridluar.
