Gr. 5/6 class at St. Martin graduates from VIP course By Ken Lusk The Gr. 5/6 class of St. Martin School graduated from their VIP program (Values, Influences and Peers) with flying colours on Fri- day, May 15. The project was designed by the Ministry of Education in co- operation with the Ministry of the Solicitor General. The program received positive . feedback and assitance from parents, students, educators (Miss Bourgeois) and police personnel (Constable Gary Callaghan). Such topics covered during the course of the program were Creating Impressions, Belittling Others, Peer Pressure and Decision-making, Authority and Authority Figures, Being Truthful, The Danger of Drugs, Vandalism and Destructive Behaviour, Shoplifting is Stealing, Youth and the Law, Friends and Friendships, Other topics Other exercises the students par- ticipated in included the mall visit last week. Owners and businesspeople invited the students directly into their place of business to talk to them about the wrongs of stealing and shoplifting. There were also many in-class discussions on the previous topics. ~ The students also performed skits revolving around the topics covered in the program. Parents had the opportunity to see these skits performed at the graduation ceremony at St. Martin last Friday. The students were responsible entirely for writing the skits said Gr. 5/6 Teacher, Miss Bourgeois. At the graduation ceremony on Friday, each student received awards of a type which included a hat, a T-shirt and a VIP pin. Main objective The main objective of the pro- gram was to help young people cope with negative peer pressure, and to give them the opportunity to understand the value of being a good citizen. It was also intended to encourage student development of a sense of self-worth and the development of a personal values system.
