I The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanvillc. Augusl 12.1987 7 Around The Board With Bob Willther Trustee Ward III Northumberland-Newcastle Board of Education The summer lull in board activities will soon end as administration and school staff prepare for the new school year. Many are on 'vacation right now, but not so . in the maintenance area of the ( board. Glen Holmes and his .competent staff have been ! working at a fast pace to get all of those things done that can only be done in the sum- •mer. The general public's perception perception is that very little happens during the summer. Appearances Appearances may support that view but reality suggests otherwise. otherwise. Many teachers are taking summer courses. These courses will permit some to expand their teaching skills to new subject areas. For some, it's a matter of updating existing existing abilities. For all of those studying this summer our congratulations. congratulations. It must be difficult difficult to "hit the books" with the , weather being so fine. Teachers are not the only ones at school this summer. The board operates a very good summer school program of both credit and general interest courses. The program has been popular for the past number of years and hopefully will continue into the future. For the first time our board was accepted for participation in the SEVEC summer exchange exchange program during July. The Society for Educational Visits and Exchanges in Canada (SEVEC) is located in Ottawa and financed by the Ontario Ministry of Education, Education, the Secretary of State, Employment and Immigration Immigration Canada, participating school boards and donations from the private and corporate sector. The aim of SEVEC is to give Canadian anglophone and francophone elementary and secondary students a chance to learn the other language and culture in an immersion situation. : The local SEVEC team consists consists of a teacher-co-ordinator and binlingual monitors (university students). The team Is responsible for student recruitment, interviewing, interviewing, twinning, prépara- • tion and operation of the July program and submission of a report to the board when the exchange is complete. Heather Goody, a teacher from.Clarke High School was assisted by Ken O'Boyle of Newcastle, Audra Goorbarry, drono and Jackie Van Den Wildenberg of Port Hope in the local program. '! During July, 40 students from our board participated in thé exchange. During the first part of the month, our students visited students from i.C.S.R. Louis-Hemon in Quebec Quebec and the students from C.S.R. Louis-Hemon returned i the visit during the last half of July. Students had a chance to participate in a wide variety of activities. They had the opportunity of visiting important important local and provincial attractions. Students were required to communicate in the other's language. As one can imagine the results, at times, were humorous. I had the chance to attend a farewell dinner on July 29 in Port Hope. It was evident that the exchange had been an outstanding outstanding success. New friendships friendships had been established. Many students found out more about-themselves than their francophone twin. It was apparent that the exchange was a learning experience for all involved. Co-ordinating an exchange is a major task requiring months of work. Without proper planning the program can turn into a major disaster. The fact that this first experience experience for our board turned out so well is due to Heather Goody and her monitors. Congratulations Congratulations to each of you on a job well done! The Premier has called a provincial election for September. There will be many issues important to the electors of Ontario. I urge every voter to make education one of those issues. It is important important for you to realize that much of what happens is controlled controlled directly or indirectly by Queen's Park. It should be everyone's responsibilty to find out where local candidates candidates stand on issues in education. education. Quality education can only happen if Queen's Park supports it. Where do candidates stand on class sizes? What is their policy with respect to capital funding? Do they support a return to 60 per cent funding of education by the province? What would they do to support boards in their effort to provide provide quality adult education programs? The concerns are real and lengthy. It is important important to have your candidate clearly state her-his policy before the election. The next board meeting will be held on August 27, 1987 at the board's offices in Cobourg, beginning at 7:30 p.m. If you have the time, you are welcome welcome to attend.
