BARREL PNA TEA AS O) ULI TL RY ; eh 6 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, April 12, 1972 Greenbank public school hosts Oshawa students What'sit like for a student from the city to spend a few days attending a rural school, and living. with a farm family? Likewise, what's it like-for a student from a rural community' to live with a city family for a few days, and attend a larger urban school. Well, 16 students from Waverly Public School in Oshawa had a chance to find out last week as part of a rural-urban student exchange program they spent three days going to classes at the public school in . Greenbank, and were billeted with families in the area. This is what four of the Oshawa students had to say abouf their brief taste of life in the country, Jim Biggar, aged 11 says life on the farm is "pretty good, but playing inthe barnI got my pants full of hay. Ya, I think I'd like to live on a' farm. The school in Green- bank is nice, but ours is pretty good too. But at our school we' certainly don't go on as many trips in one day. I'm getting along with the other students here i in Green- bank.' DONNA KERR Nigel Heath is 13, and lived all his life in Oshawa. "The __ school in Greenbank seems __§ small," says Nigel. 'Maybe because at Waverly we have one big classroom with 200 students and 6 teachers, and there seems to be more noise in the smaller classroom. I - find I have lots in common with the rural students. The -- school-work here in Green- bank seems easier, and the teachers are nice, but that's probably because we're guests here for the week. Staying on. the farm 1 attempted to ride a cow and ~ that wasn't too successful." JANINE VICKERS JIM BIGGAR Donna Kerr who is also 11 says."on the farm where I'm staying I was very afraid of the sheep because of the noise they make. But I found out they don't bite. I think students in the country are pretty much the same as students from the city, but the school work mightfbe a little harder in the country school. Doing farm chores and ski-dooing is great because I've never done them before." NIGEL HEATH Janine Vickers is 11 and has never been on a farm before. "I fed horses, pigs and actually milked a cow by hand, and then I put my 'finger in the milking mach- ine. It's difficult having to get up early to catch-the school bus, in Oshawa I walk two blocks to school. I'm getting along with the other students listening to their experiences and telling them about city life." Greenbank principal Mr. R. Rowe said the purpose of the rural-urban exchange was tolet students from the city see and experience life and school in the country. The Oshawa students toured a beef farm and a dairy farm, and also had a bus trip around Reach Township. In next week's paper, we will talk to some of the Greenhank students to find out what they thought of --1{heir experiences at Waverly school in Oshawa.
