Wednesday, April 14, 1999 Successful fashion show at St.Anne's school By Philip J. McMillan The Fashion Show was a great success. Hats off to Ms. Leroux and the students and staff who worked tirelessly to make it look so easy. 1 was pleased to see what a hit the show was. The auditorium was lull each night. Mid -terms are rapidly approaching and for anygrade nine student currently in a half course, like Tech, Arts, Business or History, this is the East week before you switch to your other option. The final day for the semester two, part one courses, is Friday, April 16. Be sure to find out where your new class will be held so as to avoid . confusion Monday morning. The School Newsletter went out Thursday to all families. So if yours has yet to arrive mom or dad, ask the delivery person, at the breakfast table, when it's coming. This week I hope to begin discussion of the changes in Secondary Education and how those changes will affect your children in the future. I do so to clarify and articulate these changes. It is not in my interest, or the student's for that matter, to politicize issues . The first issue I will discuss, is referred to as "Full Disclosure". In the past, students who took a course - and failed it, tried the course again and hopefully were then successful. The Ontario Student Record (OSR) has a page called a transcript showing what credits have been gained. This is updated regularly, and at present only shows the final passing grade and course code. As of next year, the transcript will show the stu- dent's achievements in grades 9 and 10 with percent- ages shown for successfully completed credit courses. POLICE BRIEFS Damage at Huron Centennial STANLEY TWP. -- About $500 in damage was caused at Huron Centennial Public School near Brucefield sometime between April 1-2. Huron OPP Const. Don Shropshall said the principal of the school discovered the damage on April 3 at about 8:30 a.m. Someone removed the wooden mail- box from the front of the building and threw it through the teachers staff window into the room. Anyone who knows of someone or heard of someone doing school damage is asked to call the Huron OPP or Crime Stoppers.

Withdrawal from any grade 11, or 12, or an OAC course, fter a specified time, will be shown on the transcrip Onecriticism of this new process was that students o had extenuating circumstances that caused a low level of achievement, such as illness, would not be noted by Post -Secondary Admissions offi- cers. The document clearly states that a principal may be asked by . a parent, or adult student to identify by means of a special indicator, those grade 11, 12 and OAC marks that, due to extraordinary circumstances are not a true reflection of the student's ability. A principal may also initiate the indicator on his or her own initiative. For more information, you may wish to consult the Ministry of Education guide "Stepping Up". I hope that this has clarified one of the many changes which will begin next year . <,r� �J •:rill.;, 1,1t A � +i�4. ill. 7 � �I�� s :Ll7iL:U11:.' �..J{L1GU - .J.i"iMYfii:ifuL�J. ,1_�'�.411 hJ •II�IWh�tttllQ{li. =t 9 etetGSe JC:‘ 50%0FF LEVOLOR BLINDS •Pleated Shades *Verticals •Monoco Horizontals OK S44,msrt 9X.az. 3411.-,44/s.
