a I, UT ------ EY Fo "82 --RORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, May 30, 1989 by RobStreich Last Thursday, 70 Port Perry High School co-op stu- "dents an their employers broke bread in celebration of the beneficial experiences they have shared. The Appreciation banquet marks the successful close of -the fourth season of co-op edu- cation at PPHS. Many people feel that the program has created new op- portunities for some young peo- ple. By working in the 'real world' they have a chance to be- come more responsible and reli- able, and to thereby improve their school performance and attitude. Students like award winner Julie Byers are sad to see the placementdraw toanend. She said it was a good experience for her; enjoyable and very edu- cational. . Julie worked with the As- sociated Class at Prince Albert PS. This meant acting as a classroom assistant to help ed- ucators work with the four de- velopmentally hahdicapped children - including Amberlee, featuredin last week's paper. This is Julie's chosen ca- reer goal, to teach special needs students. She was pleased to have had an opportunity to try Jer hand at this work and de- cide that she really enjoyed it before spending years at Uni- versity training for something she will end up disliking. Sheila Talbot, Primary Junior Associated Class teach- er was very appreciative of the assistance rendered by Julie. "She has been a at help," Mrs. Talbot said, "it has allowed us to work one-to-one with the 4 children. This is the attention they need." Altogether, Julie and the other co-op students will have spent at least 220 hours at their placements. This time counts toward two academic credits and allows the participants to. carry a somewhat lightened classroom load if they qualify. Students are however re- quired to take an additional co- op class one day a month which involves workshops designed to teach them communications, job safety and other applicable skills. The final grade is deter- mined 60 per cent by the em- ployer and 40 per cent by the school : How canl get involved? Mrs. J. Quail, Co-ordinator of Co-op Education explained that entry into the co-op pro- gram is limited to students 16 and older, usually in grade 12. In the Spring, when the next years' course load is selected, students apply for co-op. An application, resume and interview process is used to screen the students. Then they are questioned by guidance with respect to their career goals and possible co-op place- ments, and further must re- ceive a recommendation from M. McGuinness Since 1956 DRIVEWAY TUNE-UP .}.

This rigorous screening process ensures that the stu- dents who go out to the busi- nesses are interested, capable and suited to that line of work. Mrs. Quail proudly noted that his year more senior stu- dents than ever were on place- ments in Port Perry. very other day through the school year, students have been help- ing in such diverse businesses -as the banks, hair salons, schools, nursery schools, hospi- tal, and auto shops. This program is largely funded by the Durham Board of Education, who provides ad- ditional support for transporta- tion and oiipmen; in special or distant placements. Although all placements are not entirely successful, as many as half lead to part time employment opportunities. Al- though some students end up changing their minds about ca- reer goals, that toois part of the €O-0Op experience. "Above all else," explained Mrs. Quail, "the support of the community businesses has been great. We have to be thankful for that, because with- out them, there is no co-op."
