PACIFIC RIM CULTURE TAUGHT

re < ]

HIGH SCHOOL graduates who are unsure of their next step in life can spend six months defining career goals and honing social skills at the West Vancouver Finishing School.

* Billing her school as ‘‘not just another program (for students) to put on the shelf,’’? owner Mai Mackenzie says she sees. people graduating from high school lack- ing the skills that give them the confidence and know-how to go out and get that all-important first job.

Mackenzie established the finishing school in October 1986 to offer graduates an environment that would allow them to “bridge the gap”? between leaving school and entering the work force.

The 33,500 tuition fee may daunt some prospective students, but Mackenzie says that she is “‘not interested in numbers, just the quality of teaching,’’ and in- tends to keep the enrolment low so she can get to know the students well,
