The I same could not be said for the previous week, which is in part why the events of the weekend were so special. Ninety-six students graduated from the high school, departing with more than $50,000 in scholarship money, funds that come out of the local community as support for the education of our youth. The myriad local scholarships available to graduating students speak highly of the firm commitment that exists here for the bet terment of our society. Despite the turmoil in which the education system finds itself, despite the funding cutbacks, the disagreements over teaching methods and the dilemma of extreme behavioural disorders that plagues today's classrooms, islanders continue to offer their sup port. And at the same time, again in spite of those monumental challenges, the system continues to deliver. The Class of 96 has been hailed for being one of the more acad emic the school has seen in some time. In addition to the local scholarships presented to students last week, there have been some impressive grants of money to grads from other sources. And the list of students intending to enter university is a long one, All this comes on the heels of an announcement that Gulf Islands secondary has failed the accreditation test. The details of the accreditation team's findings have not yet been made public (fuelling the popular sport of speculation on what it might con tain). But this turn of events does not mean the end of the school as we know it.
