Clinton News-Record, 1985-1-2, Page 91ay be Catholic high school y '86
There may be a Catholic high school serv-
ing Huron and Perth Counties by 1986.
At its November meeting, the Huron -
Perth Roman Catholic Separate School
oard approved forming a planning com-
ttee to look at the feasibility of such a
chool in 1986 "if sufficient numbers war-
rant".
The idea of forming a planning committee
was a recommendation of the board's secon-
dary school steering committee chaired by
board member John Devlin of Stratford.
Board chairman Ron Murray emphasized
that the steering committee is responsible
for "steering" the planning committee into
one direction.
The steering committee based its recom-
mendation on the philosophy brought out in
the Second Vatican Council. This philosophy
centres around the idea of "an atmosphere
enlivened by the Gospel spirit of freedom
and charity", "to help the young person
spiritually" and "to relate all human
culture to the news of salvation".
However there are problems recognized
by the school board, in setting up a Catholic
high school.
The main problem, said Mr. Devlin, is the
geographical area served by the Huron -
Perth board. It covers a distance of about
10,000 square kilometres.
Another problem in setting up a Catholic
high school is the small number of students
in the large area. There are about 1,300
Catholic students in the 10 public high
schools in the two counties.
Also relating to the large area are the
possible bus routes "and. consequently the
cost factor" said Mr. Devlin.
.
The steering committee looked at two
possible locations for a Catholic high school,
but came to no firm decision. '
One location would be near the most
i
populated area, around the city of Stratford
e the other more centralized location for
the two counties would be in the Dublin -St.
Columban-Seaforth area.
The only other suggestion made by the
steering committee Ls to have a Catholic
high school in each of the two counties.
"When establishing location(s) it is
recommended that the appropriate objec-
tive Haight be to locate where the least
number of student bus kilometres need to be
travelled to serve the largest number of
students," states the report.
The steering committee report also
pointed out the necessity of communicating
both with parents and the two public school
boards - Huron County Board of Education
and the Perth County Board of Education.
Director of education Bill Eckert said con-
tact has to be made with the two boards im-
mediately and should be made by the ad-
m:n:o4...,f:n., •,.,a f....cF....-
The director also commented on the fact
that a high school will only be established
"if sufficient numbers warrant"..
"There is no magic number," said -Mr.
Eckert.
Mr.' Devlin pointed out that a high school
is being started in Owen Sound with only
about 35 students fin Grade 9. He suggested
that initially 125 students for Grades 9 to 13,
would be ideal.
The planning committee will be made up
of parents (a minirnuin of three from each
county), board members, clergy,teachers
and administration. Trustees wibe bring-
ing forward names of interested parents at
the board's Dec. 10 meeting. -
The planning committee is to submit its
plan to the board and in turn the board has
until May 31 of next year to submit its plan
for approval to the provincial planning and
implementation commission.

tion of Miss D. Bennett. The kindergartens
went on next followed by Grade 3 class. Next

tion of Grade 1 and 6. Congratulations to all
participants, it was a big success.
On December 20 the Grade 7 class had a
Christmas party with lots of munchies.
Thursday afternoon most grades watched
"The Christmas Carol" on videotape.
On. December 21 students had an
assembly to sing carols and to give a presen-
tation to Grade 3 teacher, Miss Bennett..
Miss Bennett is leaving to go on an ex-
change to Australia. She will not return until

presented her with a lovely cake and 20
school pins to take with her. Good Luck !
