Fewer students entering Grade 9 at CDHS
By John Campbell
News - Campbellford - Scores of Grade 9 students, along with parents, dropped by Campbellford District High School August 28 to prepare for their ďŹ rst day of school in a much larger setting. About 110 are making the move from Grade 8, much fewer than the 150 who made the transition from public school last year. “Everyone’s down across the province,â€? CDHS principal Doug Birch said. With fewer Grade 9 students coming in, the school’s projected student enrollment has been lowered to 510, down from 550.
Orientation Day included a tour of the school led by peer mentor groups, meetings with teachers and senior staff, and a student council barbecue at the end. The event, which was optional for students to attend, was held “to make the transition as smooth as possible,� said Birch, who joked: “In my day they tried to scare the crap out of you. It was like how much intimidation can we heap on you in one day, whereas now the feeling is [that only causes] anxiety and stress.� The transition actually began last November when Grade 8 students were brought into the school and it continued
throughout the school year, including a night to review with parents their children’s non-compulsory course options. “We try to make lots of connections with [the students],� Birch said. He said it’s important that parents, if possible, join their teenage students at Orientation Day because entering high school is a “major transition in their life, one of the rites of passage� to a whole new environment. “So they’re brought in multiple times over the year as guests to various things,� Birch said, so that they feel comfortable when the school year begins.

Re-use facility could be built cheaper in-house By Bill Freeman
News - Norwood - It would be less costly to build a re-use structure in-house, Public Works and Environmental Services Manager Jeff Waldon told council after revealing that the sole tender for the project at the transfer station came in at more than twice their budget. The municipality had budgeted
$30,000 for the 25-foot by 40-foot structure and hoped to have it competed in 2014. With a bid of $62,658, Waldon recommends that public works do some more research and explore the in-house option using the new storage building at the community centre as a template because of its similar design. The smaller 18-foot by 30-foot com-
munity centre building came in under its $14,500 budget. It was built in-house, Waldon noted. The cost would be around $27 per square foot, Waldon said. “The staff recommendation is that we let this go this year and research doing in-house much like the storage facility at Please see “Re-use� on page 2
