HIGH SCHOOLS ARE NO LONGER ONLY FOR ADOLESCENTS. INCREASINGLY, MATURE STUDENTS ARE RETURNING TO HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES TO GAIN THE PERSONAL SATISFACTION OF EARNING A GRADE 12 DIPLOMA. These are questiones commonly asked: 1. Who are Muture Students? Adults who have been out of school for at least one year and who are over 18 years of age may be given special consideration to help them graduate from high school. The principal may grant a mature student up to 12 credits for the experience gained in the adult world. 2. Is it difficult going back to school? Yes. Our adult 'students report that the first month is difficult. Once this adjust- ment period is over, the students recognize the experience and value adults can bring to a classroom. Teachers will accept and welcome you for your contributions. 3. Do I have to spend all day? all year? No. You could attend mornings or afternoons if full-time attendance is not possi- ble. With the semester system, courses run from September to January and are finished in five months, instead of the traditional ten month period. Night school, Summer School and Correspondence Education are other methods adults have used to increase their credit earnings in a compact period of time. 4. Are other adults going back? Yes. Our oldest recent graduate was 72. Age does not seem to be a factor. Each of the secondary schools has an increasing number of adults in day time attendance. You would not be alone! 5. Who can anwser my_ specific questions? The Student Services staff in each high school would gladly answer any addi- tional questions. Call and arrange an appointment preferably during the week of April -1 to April 5. Schools are planning their September timetables at this time and advance registration is to your advantage. 876 2610 Call: East Lambton Secondary School (Watford) Lambton Central Collegiate and Vocational Institute (Petrolia) 882-1910 Northern Collegiate Institute and Vocational 542-5545 School (Sarnia) North Lambton Secondary School (Forest) 786-2166 St. Clair Secondary School (Sarnia) 332-1140 Sarnia Collegiate Institute and Technical School (Sarnia) 336-6131 "Lambton County Public Education - in the tradition of yesterday, - in touch with today, in trust for tomorrow!"
