GENERAL INFORMATION

The Steinbach Junior High is located in Hanover School Division  in Steinbach, 60 kilometers southeast of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, and is home to close to 700 students. At the Steinbach Junior High, we have many school teams, which are called the Knights. 

Our Principal is Mr. Eldon Dueck.and our Vice Principal is Mr. Tony Donkersloot. When you call in you will probably be talking to Heather Friesen, our Secretary. 

OUR SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY

    Children entering Junior High are in the age of puberty where so many changes are taking place in their lives. Because of these physical, mental and social changes, some young adolescents have difficulty understanding and handling their lack of physical coordination, their new inner drives, feelings and emotions and consequently become extremely frustrated with themselves. It becomes very evident that these young people, trying to bridge the gap between childhood and adulthood need a great deal of help, guidance, and patience to tide them over these years. It is important to realize that far more is at stake in their total development than meets the casual eye. 
We therefore believe that though the cognitive is perhaps the prime concern of the teacher, the affective cannot be under-estimated and a caring attitude must be reflected throughout the school year...

  • In the attitude of teachers and administrators toward the student 
  • In the realization that one of the roles of teachers is to be a guidance counselor. Teachers should make students aware of the absolute morals and ethical values deemed important by society and our community.  
  • In an earnest effort by the teaching personnel to get to know their pupils and the home conditions of the children. 
  • In the objectives and methodology of all subjects taught. 
  • In a consideration of the welfare and potential of the child when deciding placement at the end of the school year.
