Voogd predicted the. school could add Grade 9° next year based on the numbers in Grade 8 and those in Grades 6 and:7. . The growth,to 170 students this fall from 105 in the spring, didn’t surprise Voogd who was planning for .the increase based on in- quities made before the sum- . mer ended. ~ But it did require an in-. grease in the number of teachers — there are now four. additional staff members to make 10 full and © part time instructors, “'Two teachers also left so we had to replace them. It makes fora unique situation for an independent’ school committed to Christian education —~ for.that unity of purpose,” said-Voogd. As with other school systems, Voogd said there is competition for teachers. In addition to the four new ‘classrooms. this year, an “enclosed play area for bad ‘weather days was built, It’s .. designed to be converted into 4. classroom as demand "Brows. Voogd said the new facilities can handle between 200-225 students: but added that as the school grows, so will the need for mare specialty rooms. One of the new classrooms, for example, was constructed to be converted into a science room for senior grades as they are add- ed. The school is operated by the Terrace Calvin Christian School Society. Formed in 1955, the society began offer- ing classes in 1967, Canada’s centennial year from which the school takes its name. ‘TERRACE — Terrace Standard, Wednesday, September 19, 1990 ~ Pa Aa alm and cabinet — coming next week TERRACE — Premier Bill Vander Zalm and at least 14 members of his cabinet make an appearance here next Tuesday, Sept. 25, The premier and the ministers will meet privately \.with vin-. dividuals and groups but gather for a public meeting that even- ing in the gym of the Veritas school.
