It only takes one person to
be a friend. Why can't you be
that person for someone
who's left out?" he said.
St. James principal Donna
Gregus said a school -wide
anti -bullying campaign has
been the first goal of a St.
James action plan this year.
"Bullying is in every
school and every schoolyard.
We see how all kids are
suffering and we want our
kids to know that when they
enter our school, they are
called on to treat others with
kindness and respect," she
said.
Along with a school poster
campaign, St James is
participating in a "Gotcha"
program in March, which will
reward students catch "doing
good" in the school
community.
"Hopefully, it (anti -
bullying) permeates the
whole school," she said.
French immersion not
expanding into Huron
By Stew Slater
Special to the Expositor
The Avon Maitland District School
Board's French Immersion program will not
expand beyond Stratford's Bedford Public
School, due to lukewarm expressions of
interest from smaller communities across
Huron and Perth Counties.
Following a public delegation from a
group called Canadian Parents for French
late last year, trustees requested a survey be
carried out in the catchment areas of all
non -Stratford secondary schools.
Information meetings were also held in all
potential new French Immersion host towns:
Wingham, Listowel, Exeter, Mitchell,
Clinton, Goderich and St. Marys.
A report about the survey was presented
at a regular board meeting Tuesday, Feb. 22.
Considering a previously -suggested
threshold of 60 students spread across a
proposed Grade I and Grade 2 start-up
program, and response numbers from the
various towns ranging from just five in
Mitchell to 26 in Wingham and Listowel,
there was no surprise in the report's
statement that "staff is not confident that a
sustainable program can be created in any
of these regions."
"The number of responses indicating
interest was lower than anticipated,"
explained education superintendent Pat
Stanley, who delivered the report.
In the other communities, the number of
interested Grade 1 and 2 students for
September, 2005 were as follows: 25 in St.
Marys, 22 in Exeter, 20 in Clinton, and 19
in Goderich.
Interest levels were also sought for entry
only at Grade 1 in 2006 and 2007, with
parents in Clinton, Listowel and St. Marys
expressing the most enthusiastic long-term
support.
Stanley cautioned, however, that the
threshold of 60 is important because, at
Bedford, there is a level of "attrition" in the
years following Grade 1 entry into French
Immersion.
"Of the 45 students that entered Grade 1
at Bedford in September, 2000, 26 are left
in the program, and of the 21 that began
Grade 2 in 2000, 12 are still in the
program," her report states.
Two trustees expressed disappointment
about the survey results.
"I'm trying to find a way (to expand
French Immersion), and hoping, but it's just
not there," said vice chair Randy Wagler of
South Huron. His North Huron counterpart,
Colleen Schenk, added, "I'm disappointed, I
guess, that the numbers weren't higher."
In an interview following the meeting,
Stanley argued the results were not distorted
by the fact the survey was only sent out
directly to parents of students already
within the Avon Maitland system.
She said the board took' that into account
when it decided on a target level of interest
it hoped to achieve from the survey, and that
target was not reached.
Mitchell man charged with assault
A 26 -year-old
Mitchell roan was
charged with
Huron 01'1'
assault and two
counts of uttering threats after a 25 -
year -old woman was assaulted at her
workplace in Huron East on Feb. 25.
Huron OPP say the man entered the
business where the woman was working
and an argument developed over whether
the phone
could be
used for
personal
calls.
The woman was then allegedly
grabbed and assaulted and then
threatened with more physical violence.
The man was held for a bail hearing in
Goderich on Feb. 28.
