And while there’s a place for everyone, principal David Hogg admits it will be “kind of tight.” “One of the biggest inconve- niences I think is the fact that we've lost 13 instructional spaces and with that we've lost a lot of hallway. So when kids aren’t in classes, the social spaces they are going to have to share are considerably smaller,” he said. “Everybody’s going to have to make some compromise. But school also makes use of porta- bles this year for the first time in the history of the school, prin- cipal Bruce Gerrand said. “It’s just a peculiarity in grade configuration,” he said explaining the reason for so many extra students. Another first is the expansion of the late French immersion program. Last year’s Grade 7 students, who were taught about 90 per cent in french, will be taught about 60 per cent of their Grade 8 studies in French, Gerrand we're ly imp’ with what the district has be able to provide us.” Also new at SHSS is a pro- gram called the adviser system.
