Golden Hills School Division #75: Paleontology Program Wins Prestigious Canadian Museums Association Award
Drumheller High School and the Royal Tyrrell Museum will receive the Museums and Schools Partnership award at the Canadian Museums Association Annual Conference in Victoria, B.C. on April 10, 2008. The awards committee, in collaboration with the Canadian Teachers’ Federation and the Canadian College of Teachers, unanimously agreed that “the paleontology submission met all the criteria for outstanding achievement.” Veronique Chikuru, Program Coordinator for the Chair of the Awards Peer Review committee stated, “The integration and long term vision make this project a unique example of learning opportunities that museums and schools can create by working together. This nomination stands out.” Mr. Tom Zariski, Principal, will attend the prestigious ceremony along with Mr. Earle Wiebe, a Science Educator from the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Mr. Colin Regamey, Distance Learning Coordinator at the Tyrrell and Mr. Jason Rasmussen, developed the course content which was piloted last year using video conferencing to include students from Standard and Acme Schools. “It was quite a challenge to use the technology,” said Mr. Rasmussen who was honored at the Calgary Educational Partnerships Foundations’ Mayors’ Gala last year. “The locally developed course in paleontology responds to student interests and takes advantage of a world-class facility within our jurisdiction’s boundaries,” commented Dianne McBeth, Superintendent of Schools. The jurisdiction reported that the next level of paleontology is currently being developed for implementation this fall and plans are also underway to provide opportunities for high school students throughout the province to include paleontology in their studies.

Golden Hills School Division Approves a Christian Alternative
Program for Strathmore
Starting in September 2008, the Alberta Lutheran School Society will be partnering with the Golden Hills School Division #75 to create a new school for the Town of Strathmore and surrounding areas. The new program will be a Christian faith based Alternative Program for students from Kindergarten – Grade 6. In recent years there has been a definite trend towards supporting faith based programs within the Alberta public school system. Many Alberta school divisions like Golden Hills School Division see these programs as a way of providing educational choices that their constituents are seeking. Demonstrated growth in the numbers of these types of schools can be seen within the Edmonton Public, Red Deer, Rocky View, Elk Island, Palliser and several other Alberta school divisions over the last several years. “We are thrilled with the decision of the school division to move ahead with this project,” comments Bob Gellatly, spokesperson for the Alberta Lutheran School Society. “The program will provide a new choice for area families within the public school system. For those families who hold a Christian worldview, we feel this program will provide an excellent educational option that will allow their children to openly develop their faith in a safe supportive environment. Many families from non쳌]Christian backgrounds will likely also be interested in the program due to shared moral and philosophical views.” Golden Hills School Division operates a number of Alternative Programs already, including the Strathmore Storefront School, the Golden Hills Virtual School, the Trochu Valley Outreach School, the Sequoia School in Gleichen, and the Prairie Christian Academy in Three Hills. This new school will add to this list of existing programs.
