Times-Advocate, 1999-02-03, Page 3230 Exeter Times–Advocate 7 Wednesday, February 3, 1999 Students busy with speeches watercolours ZURICH - The St. Boniface Advisory council will be meeting on February 10 at 7:30 p.m. in the school gym. Implementing the Ontario Curriculum will be dis- cussed after a video pre- sentation. Students will be presenting their speeches as well during this meet- ing. Students from Grades 5 to 8 have been busy writ- ing and presenting their speeches. The research process is taught to all stu- dents so that they can effectively present their information in an interest- ing and coherent manner. Students from St. OW, Boniface will be compet- ing against Precious Blood and Mt. Carmel on February 10 at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. The Zone of Schools has continued to promote public speaking and this year the local OECTA will be restarting a Huron and Perth contest after an absence of ten years. The local Science Fair Committee is busy lining up judges for the school Science Fair to be held in March. Each year, the stu- dents are given an oppor- tunity to research and present their findings on an area of interest in Science. The staff and school community selected com- petent communicators as the focus for the school Action Plan and both pub- lic speaking and Science Fair provide opportunities for students to develop their communication skills. The successes the students have enjoyed in public speaking, poster and poetry contests as well as the numerous sci- ence fair winners in the past three years show we are moving in the right direction to make St. Boniface students more capable communicators. The school volleyball teams completed a very successful season and both the boys and girls', teams finished second at Zone I1 tournament. The senior girls will be com- peting in the System Tournament at St. Michael's in Stratford on January 27. Their hard work, team spirit and excellent sportsmanship will ensure a successful day in Stratford no matter what the final outcome. The Grade 7 and 8 stu- dents will be going to Boler Mountain for skiing on February 9. All stu- dents are looking forward to this trip to learn how to ski and enjoy the time out- doors. The School Advisory Council is planning a pan- cake supper for 'Tuesday, February 16 and all fami- lies are invited to partici- pate in this event prior to the start of Lent.
