All students benefit Grade 9 students at Seaforth DL:•tM, High School spent Friday morning Jr rather unusual set of classes. Read L. writing and arithmetic was put asi.dr f rI , few hours, making way for trapping, focnaaing and trimming the sails as part of a school -wide educational enrlcr,,lient program. David Onn, Student Resource•7eacher a' SDHS, explained that the Grade 9 pro- gram, held for one morning in December, is the first in a series of half-day and full- day programs that are offered to students. This is the third year of the enrichment program for the ninth grade. Come spring, the students will attend a full day at tin Hullett Conservation area, integratin r.. of their regular classes int environment. "Some subjects, such as typing, a' hard to fit in," Mr. Onn admits with a chuckle The enrichment program attempts t. provide something every year for students at every grade level. Grade 10 travels to the Science Centre in Toronto, and a three- day trip to Bark Lake Leadership Centre is a possibility for Grade 11 students. The first group of students to filter through the program will be entering the twelfth grade in 1990-91, and the the idea of a sym- posium, where Seaforth High Grade 12 students would host nationally -known guest speakers and students from neighboring schools, has been brought forth for con- sideration. No concrete plans have ben made so far. "We're introducing this (proeratni stages," remarks Mr. Onn. "The logistics of this are pretty large." For Friday's Grade 9, program at the school, for instance, students were original- ly given a list of 40 extracurricular sub- jects that could be introduced in the mor- ning. That list was pared down to 10 sub- jects, and professionals and teachers from the area were then sought out. Of the 10, Mr. Onn and the committee were able to track down eight instructors, including Gregor Campbell of Seaforth (photography), Steve Little from Goderich from zmririchment program MAYBE BY THE SUMMER...- But it's never too soon in the season to start lear- ning, grade nine students at SDHS discovered Friday morning. These four girls e taking part in Steve Little's windsurfing class as part of a half-day enrich- (• program. Students were offered a choice of eight subject areas to pursue tor the morning. Elliott photo. (windsurfing) and Jim Robbins from the Hullett Conservation Authority (trapping and hunting). The benefits of the program are manifold, but there are basically three main objectives, Mr. Onn explains. "To give everybody a chance for enrich- ment, as opposed to a small group of students...to involve the community..and to integrate the enrichment into the students' curriculum," he says.

Seen here, Joyce McClure helps Elsie Doig through the motions of a Cross -Arm Knee Pushing exercise. Robinet photo. Has the program been worthwhile? Definitely, Mr. Onn asserts. "1 think of all of the activities, this bas been the most successful," he notes, nod- ding towards a group of students packing up scuba diving gear. Barring the odd disciplinary difficulty, the out -trips are also very beneficial. "We really try to relate the facilities there to their studies," says Mr. Onn. "It's not like it's just going somewhere for the heck of it."
