September Meeting : Wednesday 19 September 2018 – Community Update
Our September Board Meeting opened with a presentation from Glenda Neilson who leads the counselling Department at the college. The Ministry of Education Design Review Panel has approved the plans for the new Science Block which is great news and we also discussed the relocation of the Student Services block as part of the bigger picture of the development of the college campus.
The board is also looking forward to seeing the results of the Community Consultation Survey, following on from the focus groups which took place earlier this term.
