Science education draft introduced
By Wilma Oke
Education Minister Sean Conway's plan
for the renewal of science education in the
primary and junior divisions in both
English and French language schools was
outlined to the trustees of the Huron -Perth
County Roman Catholic Separate School
Board meeting in Dublin Monday night.
Superintendent of English Gaetan Blan-
chette said the ministry will issue a first
draft curriculum document by March 1987,
with the final version expected to be publish-
ed early in 1988.
He said school boards will be expected to
provide teachers with curriculum support
documents for the program, and that the
ministry will develop a Science Unit Pur-
chase Plan in order to facilitate program
development at the school board level.
Special grants to school boards will be
provided by the ministry in support of the
development, testing and reporting of in-
novative pilot projects in in-service teacher
education in Primary and Junior science.
Mr. Blanchette said that more than half of
the renewal program's $3 million budget
will be provided to school boards to support
its implementation. This $3 million is also
expected to stimulate the spending of an ad-
ditional $3 million to $5 million by boards,
other organizations, and the private sector.
"The goal of this revewal is to ensure that
science is part of the educational experience
of every child in every school in Ontario."
Mr. Conway said. "To ensure its success, I
am seeking the co-operation and support of
school boards, teacher organizations,
parent groups, and the public at large in en-
suring that our children receive the best
education that we can give them.
"In issuing this statement," he continued,
"I want to reaffirm my belief in the impor-
tance of primary and junior education and
in the need to provide children at this level
with a balanced and integrated program."
In other business the board granted Justin
Tomasulo's application for postponement of
his teachers' funded leave plan from 1987 to
a later date.
Peter Edwards, custodial helper at
Goderich has resigned and Caroline Wilson
has been hired to replace him.
The board will upgrade bus sizes on ex-
isting bus routes where necessary to accom-
modate the number of students on these
routes.
Superintendent of Education John Mc-
Cauley reported that 100 students are
registered for the Grade 9 class to start the
first of September this fall at St. Michael
Secondary School in Stratford. This will be
the second Grade 9 class for this school - the
first one started at this new school last
September.
Mr. McClauley said the projected enrol-
ment of 83 students is well surpassed. Ac-
commodation and transportation must be
planned for this increased number.
The board will continue to support the
scholarship fund of the Kiwanis Music
Festival of Stratford with a donation of $125
for 1987.
The space allocation for a booth at the 1988
Perth County International Plowing Match
from September 20-2s been increased to
500-600 square feet at a cost of $2.00 per
square foot. ,
The board will rent divider curtains and a
backdrop for this booth.
One of the board's consultants or resource
teachers will be appointed to co-ordinate the
board's planning and efforts and provide
this person with the necessary planning
time.
Mr. McCauley said that along with the
provincial opening of Education Week in
late April, 1988 in which the Huron -Perth
Board will be an equal organizational part -
