WHEAT & GRAIN SPRAYING JIM'S FLYING SERVICE HCBE adopts formal policy on AIDS BY NEIL CORBETT The Huron County Board of Education has adopted a formal policy on AIDS. At this month's meeting the board approv- ed the following statement: With regards to AIDS it is the policy of the Board of Eductatton 1. To educate all students to live responsi- ble, compassionate lives, enabling them to avoid behaviours which could lead to infec- tions from AIDS 2. To emphasize through instruction the need for understanding of others and the development of healthy sexuality as outlin- ed in the Ministry courses of study and Huron County courses of study 3. To enforce fully the laws providing con- fidentiality for students or employees with AIDS in co-operation with Ministry of Health and the Medical officer of Health 4. To accept any child or employee in the school regardless of their medical condition, unless specifically excluded from atten- dance by the Family Doctor or the Medical Officer of Health 5. To support and encourage teachers who have the responsibility for using the Ministry of Education resource document about AIDS 6. To reaffirm the Board Policy giving a parent the right to request in writing, the withdrawal of a student from all or any part of a Health course where the course is con- trary to the religious beliefs of the parent. This policy was put together by the AIDS advisory committee with help from the Medical Officer of Health. In drawing up the policy the committee looked at information about AIDS, the board's current health policy and the policy of other boards. "The Board's first mandate is to provide information, and information is the best defense against AIDS right now," said Tony McQuail, a member of the AIDS Advisory Committee. ALARM MONITORING SYSTEM The installation of central monitoring systemswill qualify the board for reduced BRIEFS insurande premiums. An alarm system was investigated by the board after the fires in Exeter. The Property Insurance policy presently insures building and contents assets in the amount of $94,289,500, and the annual in- surance premium is $70,717, or. 0.075 average annual property rate. Based on the installation of a full alarm system, the average annual property rate would be reduced to 0.068 or '464417 annually. EXETER PUBLIC SCHOOL Landscaping arrangements are being completed in preparation for the April 20 reopening ceremony at 'the Exeter Public School. The town of Exeter also plans to under- take a re -paving program for the street in front of the school, and improvements to parking may be possible. EDUCATION AND INDUSTRY The Ties to Business and Industry Incen- tive Plan was an initiative undertaken at the beginning of =1987 to establish a working partnership between Goderich District Col- legiate Institute and the Champion Road Machinery Company. The idea of this project was for the school to offer its educational resources to Cham- pion employees and other adults in the com- munity who sought educational upgrading, while the GDCI students gain access at Champion for practical on the job ex- perience. The plan was also established to lead the way for other secondary schools to undertake similar ventures in the rest of the county. 18 months after the initiative began it is apparent teacher awareness of the values of community partnership has been raised significantly, and, discussions have evolved to explore alternatives for capital projects - which could accrue mutual benefits to , Champion, the board, and GDCI in 19tl6 and future years. ' Co-operative education, short term shs dent work placements, and various job: shadowing initiatives have evolimi for GDCI students at Champion and at many other business and industry locations in the Goderich area. Currently the prinicipals of F. E. Madill Secondary School in Wingham and South Huron District High School in Wingham in Exeter have commenced dialogue with Wingham and Exeter area businesses to establish similar partnerships in those com- munities. • At the May meeting of the HCBE a motion was passed that "the secondary school prin- cipals and staff involved' in the establish- ment of ties to business and industry be commended for their initiatives and be en- couraged to pursue further community links in a suitably aggressive manner." COMMUNITY YOUTH SUPPORT PRO- GRAM - CHSS The program to provide supportive counselling for young people at Central Huron Secondary School will continue for another year, and Janie Gattinger will con- tinue to help young people find suitable out of school placements Lin various positions.

Jim's Flying Service Airfield - 527-1606 or Book Thru Milton J. Dietz Ltd. 527-0608 HCBE takes on new science policy Some scientists have estimated that the amount of scientific knowledge we have is almost doubling every year. They theorize that in 1989 we will twice as far ahead scien- tifically as we are now. "Future Shock" and other such books talk about how mankind is to deal with all this new information and the change it inevitably brings on the wide scale, but the Ministry of Education is br- inging this whole information explosion into perspective and dealing with it in practical terms. The Huron County Board of Education recently received "Science is Happening Here," which is the introduction to a policy statement for science in the primary and junior divisions, and is, a new way of looking at how science can be, applied in our schools. The trustees reviewed a package from the ministry outlining policy toward Ontario's goals in education, how the learner and the learning environment will be dealt with, at- titudes skills and knowledge, assessment and evaluation, and the responsiblity for the implementation of the new curriculum. The trustees also saw a video about the new approach to science which will soon be viewed by all teachers in the province. The video introduces the new policy, and the im- portance of educators preparing students" for an uncertain future. • The general philosophy is that science is all around us all the time. It isn't something that should be studied for 15 minutes a day as a single subject, but it is • all around students and should be incorporated into other classes. The new science curriculum outlined in the policy statement will get rolling in Huron County in the fall when -specialists will be in the county to work with teachers on a one-on-one basis to introduce them to the program. During the winter the pro- gram will be adapted to Huron County, and in the Spring a curriculum pertinent to the Huron County setting will be put together.- There ogether:There is something of a shift in focus in the science curriculum as compared to the focus in other subjects. The "Science is Hap- pening Here" booklet explains "It is the responsibility of educators to provide ex- periences that will encourage children to develop attitudes, skills and knowledge that they can use both today and in the future." Another difference in the new science cur- riculum is the emphasis which is placed on attitude in the primary and junior divisions. This emphasis is on information in most other subjects. Students of the science curriculum will be viewed in a manner which is common in Ministry of Education policy today. Each child should be viewed as "an ac- tive participant in education who gains satisfaction from the dynamics of learning, and as a self -motivated, self directed pro- blem solver...deriving a sense of self worth and confidence from a variety of accomplishments." Play or "active learning" is viewed as a natural way for children to learn by the new curriculum. "Through olav children can ex- plore, ask questions, seek solutions, invent, construct, and solve problems. Play con- tributes to the development of the attitudes, skills and knowledge prescribed in this document." Attitudes which the learning environment provided by the new program hopes to pro- vide for are: concern and care for t"e en- vironment, respect for living things, con- sideration for others, open-mindedness, ob- jectivity and accuracy, thoroughness and perseverance, safety -mindedness, and curiosity and risk taking. At the primary and junior divisions science will not be a separate subject, but • will be a component of a balanced and in- tegrated program. At the intermediate divi- sion "science emerges as a distinct subject, but the mosaic of biology, chemistry, physics and environmental science allows students to experience the reality that scien- tific processes and principles cross the ar- tificial boundaries between the disciplines." An exact date for the impledtentation of this program has not yet been given, but the last topic dealt with in the policy statement is the Ministry of Education, the Huron County Board of Education, and all board employees share the responsibility for meeting the expectations outlined in the new policy. They are to become thoroughly familiar with the policy, promote communi- ty awareness of the importance of the science component of the curriculum, and foster professional development and sup- port in-service programs. i Mas ter Siernon INSURANCE BROKERS INC.
