St. Stephen's Secondary Report -- * PYtro ennrHirm mnnmi Thnv m n v " ■ by Sarah Ridley Durham just formed a drama club for the first time ever. We've had one meeting so far, which nine people attended. attended. More students have expressed expressed an interest. Drama club is held on Mondays after school. Mrs. Touw is our director. Mrs. Touw also teaches Theatre Arts and English at Durham. Drama Club is mostly based on improvisation and having fun. It's a great way to express yourself. yourself. The drama club also hopes to attend attend some amateur theatre. For example, example, we are looking into plays by the Peterborough Theatre Guild, and Brooks tone Theatre in Toronto. Other Other possibilities are Bowmanville Drama Drama Workshop, Oshawa Little Theatre, Theatre, and the St. Lawrence Theatre Centre. Students arc looking.for per- . formances in their own cities as well. We will also be performing our own material. A performance in assembly assembly is a good way to get an audience audience together. We will also do some noon hour performances in the band room. Students are enthusiastic about Drama Club. It is a new thing for the school but I think it is a great idea. Some reactions: "Drama Club is less structured than classes - I like that," "I use drama to get rid of all my negative negative energy - having a drama club is really great," and "It was so much fun!" What more can I say? We have a new student at DCHS. His name is Walter and he comes to us from Chernobyl, Ukraine. Lots of children are sick in the village where he lived, and others haven't been growing as they should. Walter's doctor advised that he should leave the area, so Walter came to Canada to live with his aunt. When he arrived, arrived, he didn't know any English. But' Mrs. Vcenslra and his other teachers have been working with him and he can put sentence fragments to gether now. His class warmly welcomed welcomed him, and they communicate with the help of a Russian-English dictionary. Luckily, Walter is a quick learner, and determined, so he's doing quite well. Walter may be small, but he can hold his own in football, and he's proved himself to be a worthy opponent in ping-pong. He loves sports and computers. A big welcome goes out to Walter. We hope he's enjoying himself at DCHS. Telephone Service Provides Road Conditions for Drivers By Robert Geary At St. Stephen's Secondary School, there is a surprisingly large number of students who work part-' time. One issue concerning teens who do not work is how part-time jobs affect students. I took to the halls of the school to ask part-time working students why they have taken taken on this responsibility and how jobs affect their marks and social life. A large percentage of students who work, do so at fast food restaurants. restaurants. There are some teens, though, who have jobs in other businesses such as pharmacies and grocery stores. On average, students work three shifts a week, which is about twelve hours. They mostly work on the weekend, but there are also those who do so during the week, in the evening. Now to answer a question which is probably burning on everyone's minds, "Why do students wish to work?" The answers to this varies. L S'orne teens just would like to earn extra spending money. They may wish to buy new' clothes or save up for a new stereo. Other students work so they can earn enough money to attend college or university. Rising Rising costs of tuitions can be a motivator motivator for teens to take on a part-time job. When asked how their job has affected affected their school life, the students' answers were not surprising. Half of the teens, replied that their marks had remained the same. The other half said that their marks, in general, had gone down. The reason for this is told by one seventeen year old student student who works at a Burger King. "Sometimes, I just don't have enough time to do my homework and/or study for upcoming tests." Often, students Who work weekday evenings evenings are exhausted the day after and cannot concentrate on school as effectively. effectively. Some teens who do work part- time, find that their social life has become become better. Since they have more ( Î .in -'V t)V V.i LV O' Warehouse!

The recorded information lines provide weather and traffic-related conditions between 4 a.m. and 10 p.m. seven days a week until April 2,1994. "Safety is a top priority for this government," said Transportation Minister Gilles Pouliot.

Cost is no longer a restriction restriction when a group wants to do an activity activity which is normally a little on the expensive side. The whole issue can be boiled down to one question. "Should our youth be allowed to work?" Some parents are opposed to students working working because school marks tend to drop. Other people are for it because of rising post-secondary education costs.. I believe the answer to this question is 'yes,' as long as students keep some sort of balance between the amount of time spent on homework homework and their job. School Board Sets Goals for Next Two Years Public School trustees approved a new set of goals for the board at last night's board meeting. Those goals will set the overall direction for the, board for the next two years. -: The goals wilhcmphasize-student behaviour, discipline, safe schools, and staff development, especially in the areas of coping with changing needs and student needs. The board will focus on equity and anti-racism issues, on site-based management, on active parent advisory committees. The board will continue with new curriculum plans, including increased accountability to parents and the community. Other plans include increased increased sharing of resources with other other boards and agencies, striving to improve facilities, the social contract, and technology. The number of new goals is smaller smaller this year than in previous years, "We've got to stand up and say we can't be everything to everybody," said director of education Dick Mal- owney, noting that "there is an overload overload of expectations on the school system combined with dwindling resources. resources. "One of the things we heard from all parties including our s'taff is that we need to be even more specific, more focused on specific areas and limit the number of goals. "Having said that there are students students in need, it is more vital than ever before that we have a very firm but limited focus on the new goals." The goals were based on recommendations recommendations from staff, from parents and from staff involved in the board's Outreach Project. The board's goals included development development of a safe school policy and a focus on student behaviour and discipline. discipline. "This was clearly a major theme that we continued to see, hear and read from all the partners in the process," said Mr, Malowncy. "It focuses focuses on self-respect, respect for others others and it fits in with student wellness and with our zero tolerance, staff development development and equity work." Senior administrative will now develop develop more detailed plans for the goals. Business Directory ACCOUNTANCY WILLIAM C. HALL B. Comm.
