One of the highlights of the day was being in the square where all the steel drum bands come together to practice for Carnival. There were so many and they were all practising their own parts, so it was just a huge commotion of sounds. Then they all came together and played some pieces especially for us. It sounded wonderful â€"â€" so alive. In Trinidad we picked up the new second semester students, 17 in all. After we helped them settle in, orientation and training began. While half of the old students were writing their exams, the rest of us were teaching the new students. I didn‘t realize how much I now know about sailing and tall ships until I started teaching the new students. It made me feel like a real expert. We taught them the names of the different lines and sails, and then how they all work. We taught them how to raise, douse and furl the sails, how to brace the yards, and of course how to climb the shrouds. By now we, the old students, are experienced and comfortable with climbing. We scramble up, down and all over with ease. As we helped the new students out onto the yard for the first time, it reminded us of Montreal last summer when we first learned how to climb. In addition, we taught them the various knots they will need to know, including bowline, sheet bend, square knot, double half hitch, clove hitch, anchor bend and stopper knot. They also had to the vernacular of the Seaman. Finally we had much pleasure in introducing them to various tasks, such as cleaning scuppers, galley duty and mariner‘s watches throughout the night. l k, f Until next wee / \fi‘,, 3 L C/%w(_ The following day a speaker visited the Concordia and told us all about the history and culture of Trinidad. That aftermoon we visited the workshops where the costumes for Camnival were being made. They were beautiful, colourful and extravagant. The theme for this year‘s Carnival is the instruments of the band, each costume portraying a different instrument. Dear Oakville: On our first day in Trinidad, we attended a reception at the Canadian High Commissioner‘s house, where we met with local students. This is always one of the most enjoyable things we do on Class Afloat. The students we meet always have many questions about Canada, and it is interesting to discuss the similarities and differences between our respective lives. The next day we toured part of the island which is very lush and green. Then we spent the aftemoon on the beach where we sampled the local cuisine. "Shark and Bake" is popular with the locals. Our Oakville head office staff, branch staff and associates wish Sarah more memorable adventures, and continued smooth sailing. nnnnn Munns Ave. (West of Trafalgar) River Oaks Once again that process is underâ€" way and Currie believes a plan to put $500,000 in a fund geared to increase attrition through retirement and sevâ€" erance packages, will offer teachers labeled "Excess to Region" more guarantees for next year. (Continued from page 1) Currie said last year some teachers were declared "redundant" by the end of May. but through attrition durâ€" ing the summer, managed to hang onto jobs for September. Board hopes to avoid layoffs through attrition On Thursday, Currie said some A Proud Sponsor supporting Sarah on her voyage LePAGE] Advantage The board has declared 38.66 fullâ€" time equivalent teachers "Excess to region" in the elementary panel. That‘s the equivalent of approximateâ€" ly 50 people, said Currie. In the secondary panel, another 16.95 fullâ€"time equivalents or approximately 25 people have been declared "Excess to Region". teachers have been put on notice that because of low enrolments projected for September 1994, they‘ve been labeled "Excess to Region."

"While we have been communiâ€" cating to them that they are Excess to Region, we have also made it clear we are making every effort to retain them through attrition," said Currie. The superintendent looks to the proposed retirement/severance packâ€" age plan as increased leverage with which to do that. The proposal has yet to receive trustee approval. It will be voted on at the Thursday April 15th board meetine. Currie said those notified they‘re "Excess to Region" haven‘t been laid off at this time and that possibility depends on the additional attrition factor. "Our intent is still to try to keep everybody on contract wherever posâ€" sible," said Currie. The remaining numbers could be labeled "Redundant," the equivalent to laid off. However, those teachers can be recalled, as other teachers through the summer decide â€" for whatever reason â€" not to return in September. the end of May how many of those labelled "Excess to Region" will fill positions of teachers leaving for one reason or another, be it maternity leave to retirement.
