The school provides a more normal approach to traditional secondary education than in other correctional units. Students attend regular classes with Huron County Secondary teachers, and, as the school is linked administratively with Goderich District Collegiate, there is also a rotation of teachers from there to Bluewater. Some students have successfully completed their Grade 12 in our system. The school also has a special in -school work experience program and is developing ties with the community to enable students to participate in gainful employment. • Innovative Programs Help Special Students Plot New Directions C.1 iEsvo S.P.A.C.E.
