At a meeting of the York County Roman Catholic School Board July 5 Superintendent Joe Hodge told trustees that 89 students had gone on to Roman Catholic High Schools 3 year ago. Grade 9 and 10 students at these schools are subsidized by the province and bus transportation from main centres in York is provided by the board. _ Markham Trustee Dr. William LaCroix asked if inadequate arrangements for transportation might be the cause for the drop. He was assured that every effort is made to minimize distances students have to travel on their own. and they are taken to points “within reasonable access” to the school of their choice in Metro. Explaining the “transfers”, Mr. Hodge said _ 12 students will be going from grade 6 to Don Head Secondary School in Richmond Hill or into occupations classes in other secondary schools. The students in question. he said, are 13 or older and are making no progress in their present schools. It is very frustrating, he continued, for older students who cannot adapt to an academic program to have to remain in a class with much younger children, and often they are a disturbing influence. I “We have very flattering records of our children who go to Don Head." he told trustees. “They get out of their frustrations and learn a trade.” Mtflnoadloom 0F IRMLOOI wmi EVERY so mm PURCHASED UNDER .

YD. .. 2 FOR 1 PRIGE RS [OW IS Extensive testing is done before the board recommends such a move, however. and it is always effected only with the written consent of the parent. Some parents are extremely reluctant to accept the fact that their child is not capable of making it to university. said Mr. Hodge. The children. however. are much happier in the junior vocational courses where classes are smaller and they are on a level with their class- mates. “It is a very expensive type of education," observed Mr. Hodge. The majority of those graduating from grade 8 will be going to secondary schools in York Region. Some will go on to private schools. At an earlier meeting of the board. Mr. Hodge was asked if separate school children entering secondary schools are at any disad- vantage, particularly those taking shop options. There are no shops in the Roman Catholic Schools, but the majority of children in public schools have an opportunity to take shop in the senior grades. He reported to the board that he was informed by board of education officials that students coming from grade 8 without general shop options are not handicapped in taking shop options in secondary school. Mr. Hodge reported also that because of the system of credits and options prevalent now in most secondary schools. a student should adapt more easily in the secondary school than form- erly.
