Historical Perspective:
STARBASE London began in April 2005, at
Wolseley Barracks and HMCS Prevost; STARBASE London was
planned by the Garrison Community Council AND the Thames Valley District School
Board.
Bill Bryce, Jennifer Parker and Jeff Major of the Thames Valley
District School Board were instrumental in designing the curricula.
Classes are held at HMCS Prevost on Becher Street
Students: Grade 6 students in
London and region. The student classes for the program will
be chosen by the local school boards. We have tailored our
five-day curriculum to replace five days of the Grade 6 curriculum.
Objectives:
- Develop a positive student
attitude toward learning.
- Develop a positive self-concept
and enhanced self-esteem.
- Provide students and teachers
with an exceptional learning center for science activities.
- Create partnerships between military, industry
and education to enhance science abilities, computer skills, and observe the application of their current studies to the workplace.
- By introduction to the concept
of apprenticeships, we hope to decrease student drop-out rates.
