Saint Paul...

The production will involve 100 performers,
consisting of a 70-person choir and a 30- person
orchestra, including both full-time and part-time
students, as well as performers from the Lower
Mainland.

The choral program started three years ago,
Hoshina says, and has "been growing steadily."

Lead roles in the production include:

- Ruth-Fhang Suzuki, Soprano, a vocal instructor
and member of the Vancouver Opera Society;

- Yuko Yamaguchi, Alto, a music student at
the College;

~ Peter Spira, Tenor, a graduate of the music
program at Douglas College, who is presently
studying at the Banff School of Fine Arts;

~ William Bourne, Bass, a local singer from North
Vancouver who plays the role of Saint Paul.

Saint Paul will be of considerable interest to
lovers of sacred music and can be viewed as an
extension of the celebration of Easter.

Tickets are $8 regular and $6 for students and
seniors. Telephone 520-5488 for ticket reserva-
tions.

Scholarship Concert, on Friday, April 11, at

tal auditions being held May 1 - 10.

Summary of Research
The following summary of research into school
effectiveness was prepared for people in the pub-
lic school system. Itseems worth sharing at the
college level for two reasons:

- much of whet current research has to say about
effective teaching/learning has long been
accepted as common sense by adult educators.

- the more we examine the factors involved with
effective teaching/learning, the less we see a
need to develop separate pedagogies for adults
and children.

Much of the research information is based on the
examination of schools in terms of student

achievement, behaviour, attendance and
delinquency/vandaligm.
