Family and company gatherings are inevitable, Secondary reforms Secondary reforms take place as of September 1999. The students who will first notice the changes will be those entering the Grade 9 classes that month. Diploma requirements are as follows. Students will be required to have 18 compulsory courses, 12 optional credits, 40 hours of community service across four years, and successful completion of the province - wide Grade 10 literacy test. The curriculum will be designed as a four year system, with emphasis on language, math and science. Full disclosure of all Grade 11 and 12 transcripts also begins next September. Students who repeat a course to upgrade or to pass after a. second attempt will have, as part of their transcript, a citation for each attempt. Students will no longer enter a " destrcamed" Grade 9 class. Students in Grades 9 and 10 will have two choces: thcy may take courses in applied or academic studies. Some subjects will be considered outside St. James St. Columban by Mary C. Ryan 345-2560 even though early. A Christmas celebration of the• family of John and Agnes Walsh was he}d this past weekend at the home of Ron and Mary Ryan, St. Columban. Attending were Mike Walsh, Shawn and Leah from Sebringville; Joe and Lynn Walsh, Kelly and Matt from North York; Lucy and Mike Northcote, and Torrie from Toronto; Julia and Andrew Jarecsgi, Sarah and Rebecca from Merlin; Helen and Dennis Muir, and Steven from Stratford; John and Shelley Ryan, Kaitlyn and Zachary from Winchelsea; Marg, Cassandra and Alysha Ford and Marie Grogan from Stratford; Stephen Ryan and Heather Billson from Dublin; Bill Ryan, St. Columban, and Alysha Somerville, Seaforth; and Julianne Ryan, St. Columban. start in September "open" in optional areas of study: These courses will prepare students for their Grade 10 studies in either level. It should be noted that a student who elects to take an applied math in year one is not prevented from selecting an academic math in year two. Thc difference between the two course levels is in addressing how the student learns. The students who approach studies in applied studies will study the material, focused on the practical application of the materials studied. • Those who select studies in the academic arca will cover core material with a focus on theory and enriched activities. There will also be transfer courses available at the Grade 10, 11 and 12 level to prepare a student who elects to change levels from .one track to another. By Philip J. McMillan Si.
