Nathan Robinson, Grade 10, chose to study Chemistry at Queen's. He said he chose it be- cause of the chance to use uni- versity level equipment that he ly have avail- able to him. i} The other students who at- tened Queen's were Suzie Allin, Grade 9, Mike Powell, Grade 10, who studied History, David Talbot, Grade 11 studied Thea- tre, and Matthew Shepherd Grade 10 who studied Digital Music. : The students were unani- mous in expressing how benefi- cial the program was to them, and each said they would take it again. One reason most of these stu- dents chose to go to Queen's was because of the chance to use all high tech quality equip- ment, that they cannot use at the high school. ~The students were also thankful to their teachers, Mr. Eric Davis, and Mr. Aeneas Lane for their support and guidance. Mr. Lane stated he hopes Port Perry High School partici- pates in the program again next year. He went on to say that this year there were 15-16 students who were ready to go, but the total had to be brought down to ten. The students who attended the program will be considered for next year, but he said he would like to see those who were unable to attend this year, receive the chance to experi- ence the program.
