the number enrolled in
the 19 schools in the

School enrolments drop
BY JEFF SEDDON
The Huron County Board of
Education learned last week -that
enrolment in the board's elementary
and secondary schools is down from
last year just as was expected.
The board's 24 elementary schools
and five secondary schools re -opened
Tuesday after a two month summer
break. The board expected fewer
students this year than last but if
• yesterday"s enfolnArit'figures hold up
there may be even fewer than was
planned for.
The opening day figures are not
considered official by either the board
or the ministry of education but they
do provide some indication of how
many students will be in the system in
the 1979-80 school year.
According to projections the board
expected 7,022 students in elementary
schools this year and 4,492 in the
secondary schools.
On opening day only 6,900 students,
122 short, showed up at elementary
schools and 4,446 at secondary
schools, 46 short.
John Cochrane, director of
education, said he "puts no faith in
opening da,y,figtires" pointing out that
many students wait until later in the
month to start school. He said some
are required at home to handle farm
work and some stay on summer jobs
for extra money.
He said official enrolment figures at
the end of September would tell the
board how many stuctents it will have
in the system this year.
But the director conceded that the
122 elementary school students that
did not show up may be cause for
some concern. He said normally
students that don't enrol until later in
the month are in secondary school. He
added that he hoped most of the
elementary school students showed
up.
Of the five elementary scJool:in
the Goderich area two have increased
enrolments and three are down.
Victoria Public School had 394
students last year and expected 407
this year but only 387 of those showed
up Tuesday. Holmesville Public
School had 289 students last year and
this year expected 299 of which 290
were in school opening day.
Colborne Central expected 231
students Tuesday, down five from last
year, but only 226 were in school.
Robertson Memorial had 455 students
last year and this year expected 445 o
which 440 were in class Tuesda
Brookside Public School expected 45
students Tuesday but only 336 ere
there. Brooksidet.had 353 stude s last
year.
Goderich District Collegiate
Institute got more than i expected
Tuesday morning. GD projected
enrolment for 1979-80 w. 966 students
but 993 were in cla when school
started. Last yea the school's
enrolment was 981.
