Price tes on all the items were not available, but asked if the total List woldtcost in excess of $100,000, Hospital ,Administrator Ken Engelstad replied, "I wouldn'tthink so". It was suggested that a number of - itellls on the list might be suitable for purchase by the hospital auxiliary or other community service groups. Grant approved The five Huron County hospitals (including Goderich) have applied for and received approval for a Canada Works Program grant, from Employ- emilimmummonmemmummanommumnimilemme ment and Immigration Canada's Employment Development Branch. The grant of $48,100 will provide for employment of three people for the review of three programs on a county- wide basis. The programs in question are quality assurance, hospital computer ap- plications and'pallative care. Representatives from the hospitals will be meeting with a project officer from Employment Development, to establish the program and draft criteria. Obstetrics expansion The Alexandra Marine and General hospital is currently eoncideri' r,+•rkira{+ 0 some ciianges to the hospital's obstrh we XII mut The proposed changes, still in the plan - ming stages, would amount to "a fairly nstve ppgl^.adiingT, of clistetricalsv . vices, sacci Hospital Administrator Ken Engelstad. While the changes, if proceeded with, won't include an addition to the building, there will be some "structural changes," sl}ch as moving the delivery room, said Engelstad. Engelstad also said the changes will not increase the number of beds in the hospital and most of the work, with the exception of architectural drawings and such items, will be done by "in-house staff". Cost estimates for the proposed project are not yet available. The hospital's Perinatal Committee will be making a presentation at the next board meeting, to further explain the proposal. Basic Education Courses are serving the needs of Huron If you attended,asecondary school before 1984, you may not know about the exciting new programs developing at the Basic level in Huron Co �1 When the try of Education reviewed secondary a uca on in the early 1980's, the final report established major changes in the educational program for Grades 7-12. In response to a changing society, increased emphasis will be placed on the extension of curriculum into the community, and on ad- dressing individual pupil needs and dif- ferences. Secondary schools may also pro- vide four year courses at three levels of dif- ficulty: Advanced, General and Basic. It is anticipated that response to the Ministry recommendations will be completely in place by September 1989. General and advanced level courses cor- respond approximately to the four and the five year courses as we knew them. Basic level courses are described in the Ministry documents as "designed to focus on the development of personal skills, social understanding, ' self-confidence, and preparation for the world of work...Such courses will assist students to prepare for a' successful, independent home and working life, to manage personal financial resources, to communicate effectively, and to develop attitudes that foster respect for the environment, good health and fitness, and a postive approach towards work and leisure. These courses should...provide a good preparation for direct entry into employment." . Because Huron County serves a large attawith widely .separated-sitoois; a nom= mitment has been 'Made by each of our secondary schools to develop a program of basic level courses. This commitment to the service of most students in their home school area will also mean that students will no longer need to be transported to a secon- dary school in another community. It will ensure that students are able to•remain within their community of friendships and support. What'- about the courses? It can be said that Basic level courses are alive and well in Huron County, and that exciting new direc- tions are emerging in each of our five secon- dary schools. All five schools now have Basic course outlines for Grade Nine available in Math, Science, English, History and Geography. These outlines were prepared by teacher writing teams which met during 1983-84. Further curriculum teams will soon begin to develop course outlines for use in Grade 10 and 11 Basic courses. In addition, individual schools have identified specific goals for development in Basic education. Central Huron Secondary School in Clin- ton plans to continue to stress individual stu- dent needs through a Basic monitoring team, and to continue its long history of a successful program involving student work Ask me about turainl our savihgsinto investment's for fang -term growth and profit.

The Basic program will be extending to Grade 11 in September 1985, offering a full range of academic courses. F.E. Madill Secondary School in Winghaan, like Central Huron, has .many_. years of successful experience with Basic level programs, and will be extending these programs into the Grade 11 area. F.E. Madill also plans increased emphasis on the devel6pment of Basic courses of a practical nature to supplement Basic academic courses. A particular interest in meeting the community -life skills needs of the students enrolled in Basic courses at Goderich District Collegiate Institute is an example of an individual school response to the needs of its students. This concern has initiated discussion about a variety of possibilities, including adaptation of existing courses in typing, family studies, and industrial arts, development of a course which directly ad- dresses life skills in consumerism and employment, and/or community work ex- perie ce involvement. " Sea>rorth District High School will be developing a Basic program to be presented on a "block" basis, timetabled' for a half day, and staffed by a person with special skills and training in designing and teachine individualized student programs. Students will be integrated into General or Advanced level courses such as Physical Education, Shop or Typing during the other half day. A further extension of this program will be the development of co-operative education, work experience, and community related activities. South Huron District Secondary School in Exeter is planning to design a Basic credit course involving creative drama and.media, areas that are both important in today's world and also of great interest to young people. A "Learning Centre" concept is also going to be developed at South Huron, which will involve program assistance in special needs areas, such as life skills. Huron County high schools' are meeting. the challenges of new approaches to secon- dary education with creativity andwith commitment to the individual needs of their students. The special ,concerns of Basic level course development are being met through county -wide curricula, and through a wide variety of innovative programs uni- que to each high school. As we move towards the goal of full Basic program pro- vision, we can certainly say that some ex- citing new directions in education are emerging in Huron County secondary schools.
