Clarke High School By D. Devolin Many activities have taken place in the Guidance Department at Clarke High School this year and several more are planned for the next few months. On occasions, parents in the community ask me about activities in the Guidance Department and it reminds me that unless an attempt is made to communicate with parents, on my part, that they and others in the community are not really aware of many of the happenings. For this reason, over the next few months, I plan to submit to this newspaper, a series of articles aimed at improving communications between the school and the community. At this time, I would like to talk briefly about a very important aspect of the Guidance Program, the PEER COUNSELLORS. Peer Counsellors are students who volunteer to give of their time and effort to help other students. We have 12 of them in our school this year and each one of them has undergone a rather comprehensive training program. The Peer Counsellors help other students with such things as adjustments to High School, study skills, career and educational information Minister of Citizenship and Culture, announced today. "The number of award recipients this year surpasses the figure of 2,500 volunteers who were honoured last year. That suggests to me that the program has been enthusias- through S.G.I.S., awareness of opportunities in school, tutoring in subjects, personal counselling, summer employment and peer recruitment and training. The Peer Counsellors, in the near future, will be visiting classes to inform students of the Peer Counselling Program and to tell students how they may apply to become a peer counsellor. After the recruitment has taken place a number of students, perhaps 25 or more, will take the Peer Training course which in itself is a great growth experience for the students. Another highlight of the spring is a Peer Conference in May at LakeCouchiching. The Clarke Peer Counsellors this year are: Tracy Adams, David Bailey, Lesley Barraball, Jenny Daize, Murray Jose, Kathy Milnes, Rhonda Morton, Sylvia VanderSchee, Patricia Verbeek, Lori Wagenaar, Erin Windatt and Kris Woods. It is my belief that Peer Counsellors grow a great deal personally as a result of their experience as peer counsellors. If you have questions regarding the Peer Counselling Program, please feel free to contact a Peer Counsellor or a Guidance Counsellor at Clarke High School (987-4771). tically received by Ontario's volunteer sector," Dr. Munro said. "The Volunteer Service Awards is one of the most important programs my ministry sponsors because it brings the selfless dedication of volunteers in this province to the forefront. The work done by these valuable citizens citizens enriches and energizes the very heart of our com- munties, and of our province," she said. Dr. Munro will attend several of the ceremonies which will be held from Toronto Toronto to Dryden to present tril- lium-shaped lapel pins in bronze, silver or goldtone acknowledging five, 10, or 15 or more years of service the individual has donated to an organization.
