| Social Experience at Penn View
..............................................................................................................................................................................
Organizations & Activities
Recognizing that student organizations add a dimension to the academic experience that no other phase of student life can duplicate or replace, students are encouraged to become involved in one or more of the following activities:
InterServe (Christian Service Organization)
Unless one's personal spiritual life is channeled into outward witness and service, he will become stagnant. Inter-Serve provides an outlet for students to exercise their spiritual gifts. Students may participate in visitation, nursing home ministry, child evangelism, and cross-cultural ministries. The group sponsors the annual Missionary Convention. Mutual sharing provides encouragement, prayer support, and insights on difficulties encountered in their ministries.
StudentCouncil
The Penn View Student Council is a representative agency of the students in Grades 7 - 12 and the Bible Institute. The Council seeks to promote the interests of the students by:
- Providing activities that will develop the students spiritually, mentally, and physically.
- Inspiring loyalty to Penn View and the principles for which it stands.
- Recommending to the school administration any action it deems wise, either as corrective or promotional for the students as individuals or as a group.
The Council will be organized as follows:
- Student Council members must exhibit exemplary Christian character and testimony.
- Student Council is comprised of one representative from each High School and Institute class. (Elections for this office are held at the same time of regular class elections.)
- In addition, a Student Council election is held in the fall each year, with offices for President, Vice President, Secretary & Treasurer. Any High School or Institute student is eligible to campaign upon submission of a candidacy form and campaign plans.
- The Student Council members will be elected to serve a term of one year.
- A Student Council sponsor will be selected by the Administrative Committee. The sponsor will exercise general oversight of the Council’s operation.
