The Canadian Statesman, Bowmarivillc, June 10, 1998 Paue 11 FUN AND GAMES -- Co-operative games were the order of the day last month when students from the enrichment classes in several local elementary schools visited St. Stephen's Secondary School to participate in a program organized by OAC physical education students. Here, some of the students join a game of "Earth Ball." One of the other events on the program was orienteering. The students also enjoyed a barbecue lunch provided courtesy of the A&P. School Year is Coming to a Close by Mandi Paquin It's hard to imagine that the school year is coming to a close. It seems that only yesterday yesterday we returned from a restful summer to begin our year at St. Stephen's. The school is in a frenzy to get all the work done, with ISU's to submit, seminars to deliver and preparing for exams. Exams start on June 16th and end on the 19th. Before we end this wonderful wonderful year there's lots of news to pass on. Our OAC students who arc heading off to university may receive their conditional offers on June 10th, so it's the big decision decision time. The graduation ceremony ceremony is on Wednesday, June 24, 1998 at St. Joseph's Church and the graduates have their rehearsal June 12th in the afternoon. Many of our graduates arc upset that one of the teachers who has meant a great deal to all of us will be unable to attend the ceremony. ceremony. So, to Fr. Bill, we love you and miss your good-bye hugs. Our new Student Council government was elected after the speeches on May 25th. This year we had the greatest competition for the eight positions on council. This group of students will have a tremendous amount of work ahead of them with a new facility next year. Uniforms will be sold over the summer so that the new St. Stephen's will have a brand new image in the fall. The 3rd of June was the Music Awards night and Spring Concert. The night included a number of solo and group ensembles as well as recognizing the wonderful musical talents at our school. On June 5th, a large number of our students went to Canada's Wonderland. This trip was for the band and Music Ministry to perform in a musical show and I'm sure they managed to sneak in a few rides after their performances. performances. The Sports Banquet was held on Thursday, June 4th to emphasize the tremendous athletic ability within the school community. This year, the school had three separate awards ceremonies, Academics and Co-curricu- Iars, Sports and Music, to adequately acknowledge the efforts of all of our students. Student Council decided to recognize the great job done by our bus drivers so we created created the Best Bus Driver Award which goes this year to CORD (we all know that's he's the best ever). Also we take this time of year to recognize recognize a very special person in the school who has contributed contributed greatly to the school community through the Fr. Bill Award. This year the award went to Ms. Hickling who has been involved in just about everything. Our closing liturgy was held on June 9th. This liturgy is always nice as we ail get to sit outside and Student Council provided donuts and juice for end of the year treat. The Heffernan Concert, which was held at St. Joseph's Church, was a big success. All the students of St. Stephen's arc proud to know that we have great musical talent among the staff as we also have Ms. Leahy who is a performer. One of the biggest events for a high school is the Prom and this year was no exception. exception. St. Stephen's Prom was held at Cullen Gardens in Whitby on May 29th and it turned out to be a great success. success. The decorating committee committee did a great job and everyone everyone enjoyed themselves. It was one last chance for us all to get together and take a lot of pictures. Pictures started in the Gardens at 5:00 and it was perfect weather to be outside. Have a safe, happy and fun summer and remember: Friends Don't let Friends Drink and Drive! A Look Back at the Stories That Helped Shape Our Community L Stresses "The Good Turn" Alter School Boundaries The Ontario government has decided to leave thc. new area municipality of Newcastle, which includes Bowmanville, Newcastle and the Townships of Clarke and Darlington, under the jurisdiction of the Northumberland-Durham Board of Education. However, the Townships of Cartwright, Manvers, Cavan (including the town of Millbrook) and South Monaghan have been realigned with other Boards of Education. Cartwright goes to the Ontario County Board, Manvers will be transferred to Simcoe County and Cavan, South Monaghan and the town of Millbrook will join the Peterborough County Board. The new, Northumberland County Board of Education (the. proposal suggested dropping the name "Durham") will lose 2,200 pupils leaving it with a student population of 22,200, The Ministry of Education will propose to guarantee "the right of any student to attend the school he now attends if. by reason of the establishment of the Regional Municipality, he becomes a resident in another school jurisdiction." The rest of the Northumberland-Durham Board will be retained intact, with the eastern boundary being drawn at the east end of Seymour and Murray Townships.
