Superintendent Blackwell said board staff anticipated heavy interest from within and outside Halton -- the latter in terms of potential partnerships with academic institutions like McMaster University, Mohawk College and University of Guelph-- but the breadth and detail of the online suggestions surprised them. "We didn't really anticipate such clear themes, and that there would be overlap in themes." She said the overarching question for high school students has changed. "You're not really asking kids what they want to do (as a career) but what problem do they want to solve. `W hat skills are kids bringing to post secondary beyond their grades?'" will be asked of them, said Blackwell. The next step in the Aldershot transformation process is for board research groups to talk to students. Focus groups of Grade 10 pupils from six schools across Halton met Nov. 20. The Aldershot Exploration Committee will continue to meet in December. A proposed concept from board staff is expected to be brought to trustees in February 2018 for a vote. If accepted, the potential start date for the concept would be September 2019. More information is on the board' s website at www.hdsb.ca (search Aldershot Exploration). Questions can be emailed to PARImplementation@ hdsb.ca. An overview and a survey are available at http://bit.ly/2jpC3Ft. The survey submission deadline is Nov. 27. K FAMILY CHRISTMAS DAYS!
