Students with c.ontlicts are
students who take two
courses which have the exam
at the same time. This is
rare. hut .does need to he

The weeks before exams
should he a time of serious
review on the part of the
student. Parents can help by
encouraging. the student to
studyn a• regular hasis and
• to seek .any .extra help

.or -a student peer tutor. The
student needs to prepare a

periods of time the night
before •the •exam. The
student who prepares a'bit
each night in the last tew
weeks will do much better
than the student who crams
at the last minute.
it's also important to ask
other students. who have had
exams about the experience
so as to gain a hetter
•understanding of the entire
process. This can he a tense
time for students and the
anxiety . related' to the
examination process •is
entirely counterproductive.
The student needs to find a
Coping process that helps to
reverse the tensions before
and during an exam. The
mentalreadiness of .a student
is as important to a good
grade as all the studying in
lite world. When a student
starts to study, they need to
have hope that they will do
well if they work at it. We.
see suetess in.any•field
where the power of .t positive
approach is practiced. •
Last week •the school. was
closed twice. ,. 1 ask, parents
and student to stay tuned to
their radio station ,if choice
for closure announcements.
At St. Anne's we listen to the
advice of our bus companies.
.There are seven carvers who
-service the 'school on a.
variety of 'runs from all
around the county. .We
contact CKNX at FM 102.
CFPL at. AM 980 and CBC
-at FM 93.5.
The decision about closure
is not made hastily. The
school transportation policy
is clear about the process.
The ultimate concern is
safety of students and staff
on the way to or from schoiol.
it is -important to note That
the choice to send students
home during the day-is•a
very serious one. The bus
companies again' advise up
and we'are always concerned
about 'sending the busses out
early as the average driver is.
not aware the busses are on
'Awl—natl. During whiteout
ciiitions that can pose a
very serious hazard. We are
