Parkland student nominated for award WYATT ORR - Enrolment in. high school shop courses dropped when the provincial government required _ students to have more academic courses to graduate, according to a school board report on in- dustrial education. “Our enrolment dropped -a few years ago, but it’s on the rise,’’. said Hank Stefaniak, assistant superintendent of schools. : Now, registration levels for ‘industrial education, metalwork, construction, mechanics, drafting and elec- tronics are the same as levels for. algebra, consumer math, trades math,. science and_ technology, earth "sciences and consumer » education.

He’s been nominated as best actor in the Viewer Choice Awards for his part in Fifteen. Orr got the part when he was still 15 years old. ‘‘I heard about the audition and showed up with thousands of others,’’ he says. It took a long time to get the Starring role in the Vancouver series. He appeared in !3 audi- tions and three screen tests. ““Most parts don’t take that long. I usually go to three. or four auditions for a part,’’ he says, confident of .the knowledge he’s gained in less than. three years in show business.

Students are now required ike) ‘complete consumer education and a Grade 1] math and science course. before they graduate. ‘‘When students have their choice of electives reduced by an increase in required sub- jects, elective subjects realize a decline in enrolment,”’ the report said. ‘The provincial restraint. pro- gram took its toll on equipment for shop courses.

Television demands precision and consistency from actors, he says. Many scenes are shot several times, and each time movements have to be the same. “‘If I brush my hand against a piece of paper in the first shot, I have to repeat the movement every time after that.’’ Acting started off as a hobby and ‘‘took off.’’ Orr met. an early rejection as a challenge. He was determined to win his - next audition.

Many people surveyed for the report thought IE courses don’t meet current needs, said Stefaniak. A new emphasis may be placed on home maintenance when the provincially set cur- riculum.is revised over the next . few years, Stefaniak added.
