St. Joseph’s CW League Looks
To Future Projects, Adoption

Released by
St. Joseph's CWL .

St. Joseph's Catholic Wo-
men’s League April business
meeting was conducted by
president Mrs. Steve Gallo, and
those special ladies who helped
clean the church for Easter are
given a sincere thank-you,

Plans are being made to
assist with the First Commu-
nion Breakfast on May 13, the
Deanery supper to be held May
14, and Confirmation reception
on June 7.

Members Anne Gallo and
Regina Roozendaal reported
having attended the Fireside
Tea given in honor of Mrs.
Constance Hawley, director of
British Columbia Council for
the Family. Mrs. Hawley re-
ported on the Family Life pro-
+gram to be included in future
-school curriculum. She also
made mention of a successful
program being presently used
at Sooke.

Mrs. James Pilla reported

It was interesting to note
“when a woman marries she
vows to have seven sons. Girls
are considered useless or a
burden. They are either aban-
doned or left on an orphanage
doorsep. This is ‘a tradition
which is still very strong in
India and one they have not yet
set aside.”

St. Joseph's Catholic Wo-
men’s League will be cele-
brating its 20th anniversary
this year and plans to do so
with a special mass inviting all
charter members to return.

The Lady of Good Council
mass will be followed by @
breakfast in the Catholic Centre
to be served by the Knights of
Columbus. This feast is cele-
brated on April 26 — and a
special Marian Enrollment was
sent to charter member Mrs.
Mary McLaughlin who cele-
brated her 92nd birthday on
April 11.

Mrs. Justin Kaufman re-
ported the details of a possible

the
league's child to be adopted.
The correspondence came from
Everard Clarke of Vernon who
reported the CWL would prob-
ably be given a girl from India
who presently lives in one of
the Mother Teresa Homes.

Comments

“The adoption of the Work
Experience concept for second-
ary school students 15 years or
older may be one of ‘the most

ondary education in the past 20
years.”

This statement was made
in the March issue of “Educa-
tion Today” — a publication of
the B.C. ministry of education.

The article said that at the
present time, some work ex-
perience takes place in 278
secondary schools in 61 of the
75 school districts in B.C.

For the second year, SHSS
is offering a Work Experience
Program under the direction of
Mike Chapman. This program
is an opportunity for students
in Grades 10, 11 and 12 to gain
some first-hand experience ona
job and to help these students
determine their suitability fora
job from a career standpoint.

In the past year, over 150
secondary school students have
spent a week on the job
working in areas such as phar-
macy, ‘carpentry, electronics,
RCMP, accounting, hairdress-
ing, recreation, hotel work, to
name a few.

Students have acted as
“assistants or observers” to
day-care workers, nurses, me-
chanics, teachers, veterinary
assistants, dental assistants,
meteorologists.

The list is lengthy, the jobs
varied; paramedics, store
clerks, lab technicians, library
assistants, florists, medical of-
fices, dental offices, radio sta-
tions — and many more.

Depending upon the level
of skill required on a particular
job, a student may spend a good
deal of the time only observing
someone else, or the time may
be spent being directly in-
volved in the task itself.

with both the student and the
employer during the work
week. Students may go on their
work week at almost any time
throughout the school year.

For many students, this
will be their first work ex-
perience. In the world of work
as we know it now, there are
few chances for students to get
jobs which will help explore
future careers.

‘Therefore, it is important
for young people to have an
opportunity to observe an
actual work site, to become
intimately aware of the type of
skills demanded for a particular

: job, and to begin to understand

why certain qualities and char-
acteristics in people are > sought
by employers.

The community weaomes
the classroom — and since
many of these,students will be
entering the community soon,
what better place is there for
them to receive their practical
education?

More on the Work Expe-
rience Program next week. In
the meantime, anyone wishing
more details may contact Mike
Chapman at SHSS.
