INVITATION - Master Facility Plan Steering Committee

Looking for volunteers for the Master Facility Plan (MFP) Steering Committee.  Please read on.

As you know, the school has committed to renewing the 10-year MFP.  

Strategy 4 of the school's new Strategic plan reads "We will provide creative and collaborative spaces and practices for flexible teaching and learning opportunities to meet diverse student needs".

Leading out of Strategy 4 my goal, taken from this year's strategic plan reads, "The creation of a new 10-year Master Facilities Plan involving input from all CA stakeholder groups".

I am delighted to inform everyone that the school has secured the services of Fielding Nair International as our MFP facilitators. Fielding Nair will be visiting the school in February to begin the process.   Although the dates are still yet to be confirmed I am looking for volunteers who would like to be involved in a steering committee lead by me to help Fielding Nair learn about our school, our students, our needs and future direction of the school's facilities.  The steering committee will be no more than 15 people and represent early leaning, elementary, middle and secondary faculty and include leadership.  The committee will meet at least twice a month until June 2016 and then continue as and when need in 2016-17 and beyond.  If you are interested in volunteering, please let me know by Friday, January 29th.  If there are too many volunteers, I will make decisions based on finding a balanced representative group.

Even if volunteering does not appeal to you, your voice will be heard during an all faculty meeting with Fielding Nair, date to be announced.  Furthermore, if you would like to join the School Design Pinterest Board, to share ideas, please do.  Here you can 'pin' ideas that you may want to be considered.  The Pinterest board will be shared with Fielding Nair.
