The Switch is on!

A PROVINCIAL Ministry of Education team
into North Vancouver tomorrow to. hear

rolls

responses to_a-provincial government White Paper
on secondary school graduation requirements.

Senior staff from the
Ministry will hear briefs
Thursday evening at 7:30 at
Carson Graham School in
North Vancouver.

Among those expected to

present briefs are North
Shore school boards,
teachers’ associations and

parents’ groups.

The ministry is proposing a
restructuring of the secon-
dary school system to chan-
nel graduating students into
ore of three ‘‘streams’’ and
to increase graduation re-
quirements with a heavier ac-

cent on mathematics and
science courses.
The three ‘‘streams’’

would be an arts and science
program, a less academically~
weighted applied arts and
science program and a career
preparation program.

The proposals have already
been strongly criticized by.
groups who fear the moves
will lead to higher drop-rate
and youth unemployment
rates.

Critics say that the pro-
posal comes at a time when
school districts are having

BY CITY MONDAY

Neighborhood House
month proclaimed

THE MONTH of May has
been declared North Shore
Neighborhood House Month
by North Vancouver City
Mayor Jack Loucks.

‘*Neighborhood House has

served the City and the
District well for over 30
years,’’ said Loucks in mak-

ing the announcement.
Established in 1939 to pro-
vide social and recreational
services to North Shore
residents, Neighborhood
House has become a part of
the social fabric of the com.

munity. It provides day care
and services to. children,
teens, adults, senior citizens
and families.

‘“‘At the present time
Neighborhood House is hav-
ing a fund raising drive and |
hope that anyone who can

assist will do so,’’ Loucks
said.

Alderman John
Braithwaite, who has been

much involved in the opera-
tion of Neighborhood
House, agreed with Loucks
sentiments.

provincial funds cut and that
they will be unable to hire or
retrain teachers, change text-
books and acquire teaching
materials.

While the changes are not
scheduled to come into effect
until September, 1985, it has
been suggested that students
entering grade 10 this
September will have to make
the right choices to fit the
new requirements they'll face
when they enter grade 11 in
the 1985-86 school year.

Among those who have so
far criticized the bill afe three
Vancouver administrative
and teaching groups that
have asked implementation
of the changes be delayed for
further study.

couver district council also
proclaimed North Shore
Neighborhood Month.

At the Monday’s meeting
of Council, Mayor Loucks

also declared May 7-13 to be

Multiple Sclerosis Carnation
Week.
