i request from the geography
department at Goderich District
Collegiate Institute for a 1978
field trip caused a stir at the
Huron County Board of
Education Monday. The request
was fora three day excursion to
Elliot Lake in Northern Ontario at
a cost of $120 per student.
The trip is designed to have
students apply knowledge of
observation and recording
techniques in field map reading
and p reparation, analysis of land
use patterns to observe mining
activities. The board was asked to
pay the costs for busing 45
students to Kitchener and the
remaining costs for flight to Elliot
Lake, food and lodging will be
paid by the students themselves.
Blyth trustee R.J.ElliOtt asked
the board how far in advance field
trips should be approved. He
pointed out that the board .was
approving a trip for 1978 for two
schools (Huron Centennial
School requested approval to
send 70 students to Ottawa in
May 1978) and that the approval
of the board would mean that
$10,986 would change hands for
the purpose of student field trips.
"I'm not saying that's the total
cost to the board but that reflects
the total cost of the trips," said
Tvir F,1Iintt. Seatorth trustee John Hender-
son suggested that the field trips
are becoming,. "more and more
vast" and that the expense of the
trips was something the board
should consider before giving its
approval. He pointed out that in
the case of the GDCI request
students would be going home
and telling parents they had a
chance to go to Elliot Lake' and
needed $120..
"If we approve the trip we're
putting presSure on parents to
spend $120 when they may not
want to or be able to p ay that
much," he said.
"GDCI principal John Stringer, a
guest at the board meeting,
•pointed out to the board that the
geography department at the
school feels strongly about the
trip. He said the department
teachers feel that the trip is an
important educational opportun-
ity for students to see first hand
the section of Canadian
geography. they are studying Mr,
Stringer added that the cost of the
trip will have to be raised by the
students and :that is why the
request is being put in so early.
He added that the Goderich
Lions Club supports school
activities and would never see 4
student left out because their
parents can't afford the costs. e
added that the lengthy period
between approval and departure
is designed to give students ample
time to raise the money.
Colborne township trustee
Shirley Hazlitt said she wondered
why students couldn't learn the
same things on a trip locally as
they would in Elliot Lake, She
said she realized the students
going to Ottawa couldn't see the
same things here but the students
going to Elliot Lake should be
able to see similar things right
here in Huron County .
Superintendent of education
Jim Coulter told the board that
field trips are not, always as
extensive as the two up for
approval. He,pointed out that the
students of Huron Centennial had
been on field trips before but had
stayed in the county on all of
them. He. said from their
kindergarten years they had
taken trips to the bank, to the
supermarket, to a construction
site, to an apple orchard, to the
Huron County Pioneer Museum
in Goderich and to Camp Sylvan.
"What you're saying is that
they've taken all kinds of trips
locally but never been away from
home," said board chairman Mr.
.'Herb Turkheim.
The board approved both trips
by a 13-2 margin,, one trustee
being absent.
