Audrey Sojonky in a review

of 1979 highlights for ‘the

school district at Monday

West Vancouver students
received provincial
scholarships exceeding the
provincial .quota- of 18.
Bronze: Medal ‘Winner in
B.C. for overall academic
achievement was Tony
Hodgson of Hillside
Secondary School.

in the past year and the.
expansion. of the French
Immersion Program from
Kindergarten to Grade 1.

She. spoke of the en-
thusiastic. support for the

implementation of a daily
physical education program
in several elementary
schools.

West Vancouver school
district--.became eligible for
the option of local em-

noting that in 1979 the
province assumed 19 per
cent of kindergarten to
Grade 12 education costs.
