The Resource And Science Centre The Resource and Science Centre, which was finally completed in late October, provides Appleby students with academic opportunities second to none in this Country at the Secondary School level. The facili- ties and opportunities which are pro- vided may be considered in two parts: the Resource Centre and the Science Centre, consisting of three spacious labs. In the Resource Centre itself students are able to find material for projects from a collection that includes an initial book stock of about 7000 volumes (one-half of capacity), films, fUmstrips, slides, microfilm, journals, flat pictures, prints, government documents, audio tapes, visual tapes, sheet maps, atlases, etc. There are about forty individual carrels which can be used for study in relative quiet and isolation. A self-contained pro- jection room and other smaller semi- nar rooms facilitate the use of equip- ment and material within the Library and permit small groups to meet and converse without distrubing others. An Instructional Materials Centre at the rear of the Library houses a variety of materials and equipment which permits students and Staff to be pro- ducers of media. Since Appleby is a Residential School, the Library pro- vides such items as games, records, tapes and popular magazines and paperbacks for the recreational needs of the students. Finally a full time professional library staff makes certain that effective and efficient use of the new facilities is achieved. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ' iruiiiiir

One of rhe most important events in the history of the School was the building of the three new laboratories. From the standpoint of the teaching of Chemistry, the new facilities pro- vide the answer to several long- standing problems. The sheer inadequacy of floor space in the old classroom has given way to a roomy, well-laid out laboratory type working space which virtually eliminates the possibility of one student ' s using anothers earhole as a sink. The School decided on a peripheral bench arrangement because it provides minimum inter-student interference, while making possible ma.ximum supervision. The fact that the teacher can see the whole class, on an eye-to-eye basis, is a powerful deterrent to illegitimate student ac- tivities. It will now be possible for the inter- ested student to spend some of his spare time (which he has in generous amounts) in the completion of experi- mental work that he might have been unable to finish during his regular classes. He might also decide to pursue an investigation beyond the scope prescribed by his te.xt, or, in- deed, to embark upon a course in which he has a self-generated inter- est. The new laboratory is equipped to show educational movies and some modern semi-programmed study units to assist students in areas where they encounter problems have also been added. Last, but not least, the provision of a senior lab gives senior students the opportunity to work independently on any topic related to one of the three disciplines in the hope that Appleby can develop students who are self- motivated, technically skilled, self- disciplined and mature. Unlike many high school laboratories, the new Appleby physics laboratory was designed to meet the unique needs of this branch of s cience alone. You will find in our lab no teacher ' s bench nor neat rows of fixed student benches; instead, good quality tables and lots of elbow room provide the flexibility required by the variety of experiments carried out during the year. An electrical strip running along each wall provides easy access to electrical outlets, while storage cupboards along the sides of the main laboratory allow students immediate access to equipment as it is needed. Both features will become increasingly important as we move towards indi- vidualized study programmes. In addition to the main laboratory there is a smaller adjoining laboratory and preparation room. The small laboratory is available for individual project work outside school hours, for use by senior students during their scheduled study periods, for small group instruction, and for use during regular class periods to provide a dark area for activities such as optics, stroboscopic photography and film viewing. The preparation room pro- vides storage for expensive demonstra- tion equipment and office space where students can receive individual attention without disturbing the rest of a class. With the opening of the new Biology Labs comes a wealth of e.xciting op- portunities for the boys. Within the Main Lab, each boy will be supplied with sufficient equipment and ser- vices so as to enable him to carry on the required laboratory exercises at his own rate. By the acquisition of specific models and specific sets of equipment, he can now probe into anatomy, behaviour, development, ecology, genetics, physiology, and many other areas of biology. His un- derstanding of the uniqueness and complexity of life will be aided by working with and maintaining living populations in the Vivarium - a small room with controlled-environment cabinets. In all, the boys will be exposed to more facets of biology than were previously possible in the facilities we had and, thereby, should develop a fuller understanding of the nature of life.
