Ctarke fJ-gfiScfioo(WNews "T/w Future Starts Here" From the Principal As most people are aware the Canadian econamy is changing, rapidly in a very profaund way. Many of the traditional jobs in areas of manufacturing and resaurce based jobs are rapidly disappearing. We are aware of the high rates af long-term employment in the resource based indus tries and regions. The desirable new jobs in the 1990s demnand such skills as installing and operating computer based equipment or serving the public. These jobs require a high degree of literacy and numeracy and a capacity ta salve problems. At Clarke High School we are designing the curves of study so ail students learn the basic skills- of reading, writing and mathematics and- become computer literate. One area of emphasis at Clarke High School is cooperative education, that-is, students spend at least part of their education working outside the school ta learn the skills taught aur- best termed, "on the job". 0f the ninety-two 1992 graduates of Clarke High School 70 were student who took at least one ca-op course. As well we have placed several students in the S.S.W.A.P. (Secondary School Workplace Apprenticeship Programn). Courses have problem solving or individual study components in them ta allaw students ta develop their creativity in problem solving., Next year we are planning ta introduce a co mputer based design and technology program that will further train students for the modemn workplace. 1These are some of the ways Clarke High School train aur students ta take their rightful place in the new Canadian economy.
