Madill students learn from co-op education
Kim Ferguson
I have always thought that
teaching would be an interesting
and rewarding career and have
often wondered what it was like to
teach and if it would be the right
career choice for me. Thanks to the
co-op program at school, I am now
getting the opportunity to try my
hand out at this job.
My name is Kim Ferguson and I
am a Grade 12 student at F.E.
Madill. I am currently working at
Blyth Public School with the Grade
2/3 class under the supervision of
Mrs. Armstrong-Gibson.
So far this year I have observed
and performed many different tasks
such as teaching an art class,
preparing music for the students to
learn, working with students
individually and in small groups, as
well as doing “paperwork”.
I really enjoy working with Mrs.
A.G. and the class. They arc really
friendly and have made my
experience at the school a fun and
exciting one.
I have always been interested in
teaching as a possible career and
my placement at the school has
helped me to decide that teaching is
definitely something that I would
like to do in my future.
Edward Clark
Hi, my name is Edward Clark. I
am 16 years old. I am enrolled in
food services for my second year in
a row for my co-op placement.
I had a choice of trying a few
different placements, but being as
food really caught my eye last year,
I thought I would try it again.
I am working at the River Boat
Restaurant in Wingham. I work
with a great bunch of people, who
really help me out a lot.
I have been working at the River
Boat for about five weeks or so this
year. I really enjoy it. I get to do
dishes, chop up carrots, chop up
lettuce and prepare other vegetables
for soups and salads. I also get to
clean up and sweep the floors etc.
I am having a great time, and I
am very grateful for having the
chance to get a lot of experience in
the food business.
This has really helped me make
up my mind about my future.

WALTON LANDFILL COMMITTEE
My name is Marie Cronyn and I
am a Grade 12 student al F.E.
Madill, in Wingham. Through the
co-op program al my school, 1 am
currently working for CKNX
Radio, in Wingham. While
working for CKNX, I hope to leam
experience in the field of
broadcast/joumalism.
So far I have observed co
workers write and edit interviews
for radio newscasts and I have been
able to go on scene with reporters.
I have done a lot of work for the
Municipal Election, written stories
from news releases and I have even
had the chance to sit in, with John
Chippa, for a live news broadcast.
My co-workers are great to work
with and arc always willing to lend
a hand.
I think taking the co-op program
is a great opportunity. You leam
hands-on-experience, in the field
you wish to pursue. And by the
end of the program you will know
whether or not you would like to
follow through in that career.
So far, in what I have
experienced, broadcast/joumalism
is the field I would like to continue
after high school.
