Co-op ed in all county schools
Linda McKenzie says that co-
operative education expands the
walls of the classroom into.the con-
munity and offers greater resources
and better 'opportunities to Huron
County high school students.
it may not be loo surprising that the
co -o rdinator o' co-operative education
for Iluron County is excited about the
program which now encompasses all
of the county's five high schools.
But from a modest beginning •tyin
years ago when 12 South Huron
District Iligh School students were in-
volved in co-operative education pro-
grams at Exeter area businesses, to
this year with 2-14 students placed all
across Huron County, the program
has held some surprises for
VIMINIMINFOMMW
McKenzie.
She has seen employers become
"big brothers" to the co-operative
students at their locatiops with
students acquiring a level .of
assurance and responsibility in the
workplace that can only be describ-
ed as remarkable.
"We do not send out just our very
best students•" said McKenzie "We
decided early in the pro=gram that
would not be the way to go."
She said the Students come from a
wide range of abilities and interests.
Last year, only three out of 100 who
were involved in work -experiences in
Huron County were rejected by
employers. .

The Education Committee of the
Huron County Board of Education has
agreed to give further study 10 a re-
quest from the Anglican Church of
('ariada for an interfaith curriculum
to be developed for Ontario schools,
• The Anglican Church wants a pilot
project to be approved where profes-
sionally trained teachers at various
levels of the public -school system
would teach a course about all the
world's religions. They say it is a
"logical step" now that increased fun-
ding for separate schools has been ap-
proved by the Supreme Court of
Canada.
"We believe that such a. program
would help all students toward an in-
creased understanding and respect
for all faiths, and prevent further
fragmentation of public education."
the letter from the Anglican Church
states.
Director of Education Bob Allan
drew trustees' attention to the fact
that seven senior level secondary
students who required upgrading for
a credit related to graduation, attend-
ed the new tutorial programoat the
Huron County Board of Education's
summer school in Clinton during Ju-
ly. Six of these students completed the
program and have earned their
credit.
He said the impetus for the pro-
gram which improves the school
board's ability to serve students in
Huron who require additional instruc-
tion. came directly through county
trustees who asked for it.

ADAPT) program at the Education
Centre in Clinton on October 8. He
said a show of support is vital.
The program is mounted under the
leadership of Terry Johnston and alt
county high schools are involved. The
emphasis will be on making students
aware of all the implications of drug
.and -alcohol -use and abuse.
Community support is being sought
by the teacher organizers to bring in
speakers and purchase appropriate
resource material (pamphlets.
posters etc. ) for use in asspciation
with the work.

in these students has really been a
treat," enthused McKenzie. "They go
out in September with trepidation:
they finish in June with confidence.';
The students- in the program -are
from Grade 12 for the mast part. and
work a three-hou-r shill every second
day - morning or afternoon - at a loca-
tion pre -arranged between the
employer and the student through the
school. The work experience earns a
credit for the student at school. and
provides the student with'valuable on-
the-job training at a task related to
the student's aptitude and interests.
There is no payment to the student by
the employer who provides free l rain-
ing for the student. •
Students who have been through the
program say it is excellent They find
they haveeither been able to get a job
more. easily because of the training.
or they have been accepted into post- -
secondary school courses more readi-
ly because of their experience.

placements for our students." says
McKenzie who claims there is a grow-
ing list of employers who would take
students if they were available. •
"It's a tribute to our community.
