This is 0 ùr lStb year of operation. Courtice High School opened in September 1961 with 17 teachers and about 350 stu- dents. In 1966 we had comn- pleted the addition of our Technical wing and by 1969 our student population had reecbed its maximum of nearly 1200 students witb 65 teachers. Witb the building of the New Composite School et Bowmanville, some of the scbool population pressure was taken off and this year we bave 950 students witb a staff of 55. Three years. ago the addition of our fine new Librery or Resource Centre rounded out our educational facîlities, which is functionel- ly among the finest in the province or in the whole country. We cen indeed be proud of our scbooland especially of our student body and staff. Wben we opened as e new scbool in 1961, one of Our major concerns was that as a new school we hed no tradi- tion, no school spirit, no sense of identity. Over the years we have struggled to echieve this sense of identity. Meny times in the past many students and teachers wondered if we would ever achieve eny sense of pariculer identity. Our P roblem was compounded by tbe location end cîrcumsten- ces - large community centre - and the fect that about 90 per cent of our student body came to scbool by bus. We attemped to overcome these obstacles. in several p ositive ways. Our school board was most co-operative in allowing us to have a double run of buses two afternoons a week on Monday and Wednes- day, by which students wbo were involved in extra curri- culer activities or who wisbed to remain to study or use the fecilities couid do so for an additional bour. We also instituted a pro- gram of development of a large number of student activities - Athleticend Social. Our Inter-school team compe- tition bas included Boys and Girls sports - Football - Soccer - Basetal- Volleybail - Gymnastics- Badminton - Judo - School Bands - Drame Club - Choir - other clubs - Pingpong - Cbess - Debating - Science - Home Economics - Model Gliding - Auto - Outdoor Education. The pur pose of these various clubs bas heen not only to heip students gain a sense of identity but also to fulfili one of our main educational goals, that' of assisting students to develop their talents and to =impýrove their physical, social adrecreetional skills. To ensure that this progrem would be available to every single student, 3 years ago we instituted a system of activity periods during one or two periods a week on a regular timetable basis. We h ave found this remarkabiy suc- cessful, over 90 per cent of the students taking- part partici- Satingir-he ogig to-some 30 'ifferent 'clubs or ectivities that I bave mentioned. The fact, that our scbool teams, and clubs bave been 50 successful and able to win games and cbampionships bas aided us immensely. As you know, for several years our Soccer Teams have won al Ontario Championsbips. We bave also won lst piace in competition,,witb our Football Team, Hockey Team, Track and Field, and our Boys and Girls Basketball teamis. Our Judo Team bhas won the Ontario Championsbips seve- ral times. Our Mascot, the Cougar, and our Courtice Cougars, bave been No. 1 several times. In addition, the tremendous success shown by our Scbool Band and our Drame Club in staging higbly successful musicals eacb year bas been most notewortby. 1 firmly helieve that ail of this has belped our student body to achieve a sense of identity and pride in our scbol second to none in Ontario. How do I know this? First 1 get observations and -reports by visiting other scbools, from teachers who taught bere and have moved, on- to other schoois, but, especiaily from student teachers wbo visit several schools in Ontario. They ail report to me that they have found Courtice to bave one of the nlost co-operative end courteous and enthusias- tic group -of students they have -seeni. Also that our staff is among the friendliest and most belpful of any scbool that they bave visited. You migbt tbink from ail of this that we only tbînk of social and athletic activities. Our motto "Amor Sapientiae Floreat" (let the love of wisdom flourish) bas elweys been foremost in our educa- tional consideration. The aca- demic achievements of our students have been a source of pride to us. With the conclu- sion of thle New Educational Programi and individual time- tables, there bas been a marked rise in over-ali stu- dent academic achievement. Last June, 185 students or over 20 per cent of the student body were on our Honour Roll wit an average of 75 per cent or over in ail subjects. The Provincial Average is 15 per cent,* Also we have 14 students in1 Grade 13 last year who had an average of over 80 per cent and are, named Ontario Scho- lars. Our congratulations to the students and to the parents of the students who achieved these honours, and to al students receiving Diplomas and prizes.
