Just Ask For It. Here are some great VALUES on some great FUN! Just like the real thing. Only smaller, A11 students benefit from enrichment program Grade 9 students at Seaforth District High School spent Friday morning in a rather unusual set of classes. Reading, writing and arithmetic was put aside for a few hours, making way for trapping, focussing and trimming the veils as part of a school -wide educational enrichment program. David Onn, Student 'Resource teacher at 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 the Hallett Conservation area, integrating all of their regular classes into the environment. "Some subjects, such as typing, are hard to fit in," Mr. Onn admits with a chuckle. The enrichment program attempts to 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 been made so far. "We're introducing this (program) in 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 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 were taking part in Steve Little's windsurfing class as part of a half-day enrich- ment program. Students were offered a choice of eight subject areas to pursue for the morning.

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.

"I think of all of the activities, this has 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."
