An Ontario government grant is enabling an Etobicoke notfor-profit agency reporting an ever-growing need for settlement services to help even more newcomers. JobStart’s $130,000 grant will enable its settlement counsellor to support approximately 800 newcomers and 1,800 one-onone sessions over the next two years. JobStart has helped approximately 1,500 newcomer clients, mostly families, since the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration first funded its newcomer settlement program in 2013. “We’re so grateful to the ministry and so thrilled that this funding will enable us to continue to provide newcomer settlement services. It is definitely a growing need,” said JobStart executive director Heather Sant. “Settlement services are critical. We’d love to be able to expand our services because there is such a need.” >>>services, page 9

Fifty years later, Kipling Wildkats revel in their win Cynthia Reason creason@insidetoronto.com The year was 1966 and the Kipling Wildkats senior high school football team wasn’t even projected to make the playoffs, much less win their first-ever championship title. But on that magnificently muddy Thursday nearly 50 years ago, the boys in double blue defied the odds, the rain, and even broken bones to do just that - bringing home the Etobicoke Township Senior Football Championship to Kipling Collegiate Institute. “We were predicted to come in last in our division that year. As soon as I heard that, I went back to my teammates and said, ‘Look, here’s what we’ve been predicted to do, and I think we better see if we can’t change that’ - and we did,” recalled the Wildkats’ offensive captain Denis Gluck, who scored both touchdowns in Kipling’s 13-6 victory in the championship game over Scarlett Heights on Nov. 10, 1966. “We even lost a fellow in that game to a broken leg. We actually heard it crack on the field as it broke - that’s how loud it was.” Added defensive captain Michael Carter: “I was standing right beside the guy when it happened. It was John Stavroff, and they say his leg was broken in two to five places,” he said, noting that Stavroff, who passed away in 2013, was dragged off the field and into an ambulance in the fourth quarter.

“I can tell you, I heard the sound and it was pretty shocking. It’s one of those things you never forget.” Nearly five decades later, Gluck, Carter and 12 other members of that champion-
ship-winning Wildkats roster gathered together to share just such rain-soaked recollections of that glorious - yet grimy victory on the field at Royal York Collegiate 50 years ago. The 10th annual Glen Fox
Memorial Golf Tournament brought the former co-captains together with teammates Bob Tobin, Rick Pearson, Dale Robertson, Jim Thompson, Colin Fraser, Bill Beatty, Brian
Delaney, Dave Spencer, Steve Cutler, Fred Marsden, Bob Kelly, Mike Carter and Tony D’Angelo, as well as Coach John Spence, at Lionhead Golf Club in Brampton on a
similarly sodden September day a few weeks ago. “The guys on this team were fast, smart, tough, and 100 per cent committed to winning every time we stepped on to the field,” Carter said in a speech during the annual golf tourney named after Glen Fox - a member of the 1966 championshipwinning Wildkats team who succumbed to cancer more than a decade ago. “I am sure every member of this team would tell you they learned valuable lessons on and off the field at Kipling - especially from the great teachers and coaches we were so fortunate to have to guide and support us.” Coach Spence, who started his teaching career at the then-newly-opened Kipling Collegiate in 1960, remembered building the Wildkats up from a team that didn’t score a single point in its inaugural year into a championshipwinning one just six years later. “We had a lot of good athletes who worked hard and were good students. Back then there was more of a commitment to the sports - with his group, in particular - and I think that made a big difference for us,” he said, noting that that Wildkat commitment to teamwork has endured for more than 50 years amongst his 1966 players, as evidenced by the strong turnout at this year’s Glen Fox Memorial. “When I think back on my career at Kipling, it was a school community that always supported each other.”

Services include learning how to open bank account, register for school >>>from page 1 The top language spoken by clients is Hindi, Sant reported, but newcomer services are available in many languages. The Newcomer Settlement Program helps newcomers and refugees find housing, employment, child care and language-training support, and access employment services such as skills training and foreign credentials assessment. Clients are also assisted in practical life skills, like developing social connections. “We help clients learn how to apply for a social insurance number, how to open a bank account, how to enroll their children in school, where to access a local food bank if they need,” Sant said. For services it doesn’t provide, JobStar will help coordinate with other social service agencies. Etobicoke-Lakeshore MPP Peter Milczyn said in

“By giving newcomers the support they need to begin their new lives as Ontarians, we are helping ensure Ontario’s future economic prosperity, and enriching our province’s social fabric for generations to come,” Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Laura Albanese said in a statement. – Tamara Shephard

special report
APPLIED VS. ACADEMIC:
A look at how student streaming and credit caps are affecting how young people plan for their future TARA HATHERLY thatherly@insidetoronto.com
I
t has been 13 years since Ontario eliminated its official 13th year of school – then known as OAC – amid a controversial curriculum change that was supposed to end student streaming. The official 13th year, called Grade 13 until the 1980s when it was replaced by OAC (Ontario Academic Credit), was phased out in 2003 by the Progressive Conservative government. But could another change made when OAC was eliminated – introducing applied and academic course options – be making it hard for students to finish in four years with the credits they need to succeed and decreasing the likelihood some students will excel, while effectively continuing to stream students? Applied and academic credits are meant to be “mix and match,” but most students take courses in one or the other. Academic credits are typically required for university. “In a lot of cases, students pick applied because they think it will be easier, and then ironically they are much less likely to be successful in the applied stream. There’s so much evidence that says it’s a bad idea to divide kids, particularly in that first grade of high school. It limits choices, it closes doors, it sometimes sets kids up for failure,” said Annie Kidder, founder and executive director of advocacy group People for Education. “There are kids who either aren’t graduating, or who are getting to Grade 12 and realizing that there are doors that are already closed to them that got closed when they made

Grade 12 students work independently during teacher Hugh Tran's math class at Father John Redmond Catholic Secondary School. These students, if they wish, can return for a fifth year of high school, but the province will only fund up to 34 credits.
that choice in Grade 8.” The courses replaced vocational, college and university streams, and are meant to teach the same curriculum in different ways. Academic courses study essential and related concepts with a theoretical approach, while applied teach essential concepts in a more practical, hands-on way. According to Ontar io’s Education Quality and Accountability Office, of students who demonstrate strong math skills in grades 3 and 6, those who take applied math courses in high school are less likely to continue earning high marks. Lowered expectations, and in turn, lowered effort, for kids in applied courses has been floated by education experts as one potential cause for the disparities. In math, 83 per cent of Ontario Grade 9 students in aca-
demic courses met or exceeded the provincial standard this year, while only 45 per cent of applied students hit the mark. In English, 92 per cent of Grade 10 students successfully completed this year’s Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test, while only 47 per cent of applied students were successful. A study by the Toronto District School Board, Ontario’s largest school board, suggests 60 per cent of students who take applied courses in Grade 9 don’t graduate within five years, compared to 14 per cent of those who choose academic. It takes 30 credits to graduate high school. A 34-credit threshold was introduced by the provincial Liberals in 2013. After 34 credits, the government decreases funding to school boards for most students. Students wanting to earn more than 34 credits must get approval
from their board, and may have to take courses through continuing education. “Over a decade ago, Ontarians moved to four years of high school, but many students are still taking that additional fifth year, even after graduating,” said a government statement at the time. “We need to shift the culture in our schools and encourage students to graduate and move on to the next stage in their lives after four years.” Needing to replace applied credits with academic or raise marks in a completed course, or switching career paths and needing different courses, to get to post-secondary programs, can leave students wanting more than 34 credits. “I think we need to allow for the vast amount of change that happens to young people,” Kidder said. “Obviously it can’t be unlimited and there have to
be boundaries in this, but the problem always with capping anything is are there people who lose from that, and I think in this case 34 may be too low.” Education Minister Mitzie Hunter and Education Critic Patrick Brown declined to be interviewed for this article, after weeks of correspondence with their representatives, with Hunter citing a lack of availability. “When selecting their courses in Grades 9 and 10, students are not expected to make binding decisions about a particular educational or career pathway,” said Ministry of Education spokesperson Heather Irwin. “However, they should try to ensure that they have the prerequisites required for future courses they plan to take. Schools must make provisions to allow students to make changes in direction and must clearly describe these provisions in their school program/ course calendar.” But the provisions, which can include a half-credit summer course, seem to present a barrier. During the 2014-2015 school year, only three per cent of schools reported students often transfer from applied to academic courses, while 43 per cent reported transfers happen never or not very often, according to a People for Education study. D u r i n g a g ov e r n m e n t announcement about child care Friday, Sept. 23, Metroland Media Central reporter Cynthia Reason asked Hunter if Ontario would consider reviewing the academic and applied separations in Grade 9. Hunter said the ministry is consulting with school boards, some of which, she noted, have requested the separations be eliminated.
