twenty custodians throughout the

Rev. C. A. Pettit of St. Marys
Parish in Hession was granted
permission to use the facilities
of St. Marys School for a relig-
ious summer school the first full
week of July for all the catholic
children that attend public
schools. It will be conducted
by the St. Joseph Sisters of the
London Diocese.
John Vintar, Superintendent
of Education, presented the 76 -
page Report on Schools for 1970-
71 to members of the board.
The report was prepared in two
parts. The first part provides
general information on program
which is applicable to all schools
in the two counties.
All trustees were given a copy
of the report and each school
will receive a report as well in
order that the staff will be infor-
med.
Irl the Primary Division the
language arts are a key parr of
the total curriculum --listening,
speaking, reading and writing
activities make up approximate].)
605 of the daily learning exper-
ience.
The report states two Schools
have initiated continuous prog-
ress programs arid it is anticipat-
ed the primary divisions in all
schools will commence contin-
uous progress in the fall of 1971-
72 term. The teachers are be -

learning experiences to meet the
wide range of individual differ-
ences and some excellent organ-
izational arrangements are in
operation and will be used as
models for in service sessions.
In the Junior Division several
schools are utilizing a limited
form of teacher exchange accord
ing to subject area expertise of
the teachers concerned.
Teachers are encouraging
pupils to engage in individual
and group research projects be-
cause this approach to learning
develops those skills of research
and enquiry which form the bas-
ic fibre of all learning exper-
iences.
Activity centres and interest
centres have been established in
most classes. At these centres
pupils may independently eng-
age in remedial or enrichment
activities.
Teachers in the Junior Division
are beginning to make more use
of the community and commun-
ity resources.
Plans are underway for the in-
itiation of continuous progress
in the year 1972-73 at the time
when pupils from primary divis-
ion will have moved into the
junior division.
In the Intermediate Division
the report states that in the sub-
ject areas of science, history
and geography teachers are en-
couraging pupils to engage in
research projects. A pilot proj-
ect for September will include
three schools -- St. Michael's
of Stratford, St. Mary's of God-
erich and St. Boniface of Zurich
when each school will initiate
a six-day cycle. On days 1 to
5 pupils will follow the regular
academic program. Day 6 will
be an "option day" which will
be divided in four quarters. On

Day 6 each Grade 7 and 8 pupil
will be able to select four differ-
ent options.
Options may include such areas?
as film making, public speaking,1
home economics, drama or some
specific area of subject matter
in the existing courses of study.
Personnel from the community
may be invited to assist in some
of the options. It is felt that the

two options of home economics
and industrial arts are very lim-
ited in scope and may not appeal
to the wide range of interests
found in the average intermed-
iate class of today.
It is the intent of this pilot
project to provide the pupils
with a wider range of alternat-
ives which may serve to develop
more viable alternative in educ-
ation.
