Education involves
the community
Learning is a co-operative
community enterprise.
This is the timely theme of
Education Week in Ontario,
held April 20 to 26, which should,
reflect the importance of' -a
strong bond and relationship
between the school and the
community.
Ontario Education Minister
'Thomas 'Wells stated that a
sChool's first responsibility is
its education program for the
pupils but it can also effectively
serve as a catalyst towards
developing a community
identity. This is achieved by
' bringing • tilep, women and,
children together for all kinds
of educational, cultural and
recreational activities.
Mr. Wells pointed out that the
starting point for the strong
community -school bond is a
relaxed open door policy on the
part of the principal and his
staff. Also community in-
volvement means that the
school becomesa meeting
place for people of all ages,
occupations and interests and
provides an atmosphere On-
ducive to cb.mmunity in-
tecaction.
John Stringer, principal of
GDCI, agreed that such in-
volvement was an integral part
of the operation and . that
community involvement must
be emphasized.
-Although' there is no special
curriculum at'the school during
Education Week, Mr. Stringer
explained that the school and
its facilities are open at any
nine to organized groups and
over 500 people are currently
involved 'n night classes
conducted at the school.
Most of the public school's in
the Goderich area are engaging
in special projects to be on
display e 'school during
Educa Week and during
Parents(Night.
Victor Public School will be
holding .a Green Week in
conjunction' with both Arbor
Day and Education • Week.
Although the school's activities
have been limited somewhat
due to construction, students
havelaeen encouraged to grow
some sort of plant life. Each
class has growing projects with
the objective of becoming more
ecology minded and learning to
keep what is presently green as
well es growing new things.
Victoria School will also have a
Parents' Night on April 28.
St. Mary's Separate School
will , be conducting a Sciercce
Fair again this year involving
students of Grades 4 through 8.
The displays have been
categorized such as collection,
experiment and demonstration
and will feature both individual
and group work. The fair in-
tends to provide maximum
participation from the studenfs
and. all displays roust be self
explanatory -4o act as a
teaching device for students
who view the displays.
The, students at Robertson
Memorial Public School are.
currently rehearsing. the
operetta Oliver which they will
feature.on April •30. and May.2,
At least 25 senior. students are
involved in the operetta.
Holmesville Public School
_presented a musical night on
April 16 that featured music
from around the world. The
musical night involved all the
s,tudents of the schoolwho
performed songs and dances of
various nations.
—Fur bluebird houses have
been erected at the pollution
control plant impoderich as an
experiment to see if the
bluebird will nest close totown.
The Eastern Bluebird' was
once quite numerous in Huron
County nesting in abandoned
woodpecker holes, infen-
ceposts and old apple orchards.

anti family orchards have been
or* the decrease which also.,saw
a ,decline in the bluebird
population in the early 1960's.
The bluebird was a species that
was on the brink of extinction
which, may be attributed to
numbers of starlings, and
sparrows that invaded the area
and took over nesting sites.
But now with the aid of -
bluebird clubs, naturalist
groups and individuals who
build and maintain houses the
bluebird is once again making
-its' home in Huron County.
Bluebird houses are 'being
erected in selected locations
and- must be placed iii open
areas since the bluebird will not
nest irt secluded areas such as
woodloti:
Bill Wisser has, made and
erected 30 bluebird boxes in the
past year in , Colborne Town-
ship. -Of these nestings a total of
25 young birds were raised. Bill
Anderson has erected 34 houses
in Ashfield Township.
Wisser and Anderson have
each built 6a, boxes during the
past winter and have erected
the majority of these in
Colborne and Ashfield Town;
ships. "
