Summer school July 2-24
The traditional summer school pro -
graft at Central Huron Secondary
School in Clinton runs from Thursday,.
July 2 to July 24, for all county secon-
dary students and senior elementary.
Improvement courses will be of-
fered for secondary school students in
mathematics and english, at the
general and advanced levels for
grades nine to 12. As- a new'
endeavour, special tutorial sessions
will be arranged for senior students
who require upgrading fora credit
related to graduation or admission to
a post -secondary institution. A Driver
Education course will also be
available. - -
At the elementary level, remedial
courses in mathematics and english
will be available for grades seven and-.
eight students.
Previous summer schools have
shown that students can achieve im-
proved results through concentrating
their efforts in one subject area. The
prime objective of the program is to
• enable a student to earn a better stan-
ding in a subject in which they are ex-
periencing difficulty. °
Students who are interested in
"Summer School 1987" should contact
the principal or guidance head in their
school for further information and an
application form.
Having had a very successful start
last year, a summer school program
for children with challenging learning
needs will again be offered in three
full-service schools.
From July 6 to July 31 fifty-two
students will receive their education
for four hours a day from six teachers
assisted by fourteen teacher
assistants and a program supervisor.
The program sites (Wingham Public
School, McCurdy Public School and
Victoria Public School) will be
monitored by Supervisor Judy Mills,
and administered by Frank Mac-
Donald, Principal of Summer School.
The objectives of the program are:
i) to maintain and enhance present
development of academic, life and
social skills.
ii) to promote knowledge of safety.
iii) to develop expressive and
receptive vocabulary.
iv) to provide for recreational ac-
tivities and social experiences.
Pupils will be evaluated by the
teachers of the program and parents
will receive a written progress report
upon completion of the program.
A new endeavour is the Summer
School Hensall program for excep-
tional pupils.
The target group is made up of 12
children from the primary division
and '15 children from the junior
division.
The objective of the program is to
provide for the pupils individual pro-
grams commensurate with learning
styles and ability levels in language
arts and mathematics.
The purpose behind this is to main-
tain and enhance the individual pupil
programs in the subjects previously
mentioned.
Reports will be given to the parents
and the receiving teacher upon the
completion of the program.

Discuss development proposal
Tuckersmith Township council
discussed at council session a
development proposed by Walter
Armes for William Street in the
hamlet of Egmondville.
Armes reported his severance ap-
plication to the County of Iluron Land
Division Committee has been approv-
ed based on a satisfactory develop-
ment agreement being worked out
with Tuckersmith Township. He said
he had been in contact with an
engineer who estimated a cost of bet-
ween $3,000 and $5,000 to engineer a
storm drainage system to service the
lands, with supervision of construc-
tion costing extra.
Armes asked the council the type of
drainage system required and why an
engineer's drawings were a necessity.
Council will arrange a meeting of
Mr. Armes and road superintendent
Douglas Poulton, and at the next
meeting of council will discuss it
further. .
A proposal by Steve Rathwell and
Del Scholendorf of Vanastra to erect
a building at the Vanastra ball dia-
mond was outlined to council. Mr.

a storage area, washrooms and snack
bar facilities.

proximately $8,000 plus the water and
sewage hook-up with the labor to be
supplied by the participants current-
ly using the diamond.
Rathwell and Scholendorf
guaranteed profits from the snack bar
would be used to repay the loan over
an eight-year period. Should any
deficit occur the men said there would
be a special assessment on the teams
