Tbis Gather Al 1the Facts Flrst One of the first rules of mak- ing a gaod decisian is ta, gather ail ayailable facts together. Once this is done, an individual can start tbe decision-making process. The Guidance Services of the Northumberland and Durhbam County Board of Education recog- nize tbat any deciîon to be made by an individual ca n only be made by that persan himself; however, much assistance can be given ta the, persan. One of the prime ways the Guidance Services helps students, is to ensure that accurate, up-to-date facts are available. Therefore as Grade 8 students face the decision over the next 5 months, of what course to choose in Grade 9, they will receive considerable assist- ance. In addition ta receiving a, capy of "What's New For You", which explains the credit systeni, the level system, subject promo- tians, etc.' and outlines steps for making a decisian, each Grade 8 student will receilve a copy of "Oppartunities for Graduates" and a co py af "What Are Those Sec- ondary Subjects AiÀl About?" "Opprtunities For Graduates" Out- lines the educational opportunît- les for graduates of the variaus Secondary Scbhool courses, wbie the "Subjects" bookiet tells the student the purpose of each sub- ject in Secondary Schoi, and gen- erally outliles what it consists of. "We are extremeiy proud of Our Grade 8 educational Guidance Program in Northumberland and Durham counties," commented Terry Hawkins, Co-ordinator of Guidance. "First, we ensure that the students get the facts, then we give themn an opportunity tcW have ciass discussions and infor- mation lessons. Next we arrange for each student ta have his ques- tions aaswered and an opportun- ity ta have a personal interview with his Guidance Caunsellor,' Meetings are arranged for par- ents ta become informed as well and students are învolved in a variety of 6ther projects ta en- sure that they are ready and able' to make the decisions they face.. Informed people make gaod deci- sians and it's one of the basic- services of a good Guidance pro- gram ta provide the needed im. formation."
