General
Gordon Open House Invitation
|
|
|
November
19 Open House: 3:00 - 7:00 p.m.; General Gordon Gym; 2896 W. 6th Ave
Have Your Say!
Background:
- In 2007 the VSB presented
proposals to rebuild the school to meet seismic upgrade requirements.
- Parents were very worried
that the result would be a smaller school, with fewer educational
facilities for the children and no space for JKC
- They successfully lobbied
the VSB and BC Premier Gordon Campbell
- A new planning process was
agreed, the 'Neighborhood Centres of Learning
and Development Pilot Project' (NCLD); General Gordon is one of three
schools taking part in the pilot
- The final design is not
decided; possibilities range from full replacement, to complete
renovation of the existing school, or something in-between
The Open House, this Thursday, 19th November, 3pm to 7pm
The consultants will display information on boards, including:
- what is the NCLD
- feedback from a visioning
process involving community and parents held in the Spring
- information about '21st
century learning'
- possible designs for a new school.
Your will be asked for written comments, which will influence the designs
presented to us in 2010.
Things to think about
- what is important to you in any
rebuilt school?
- during construction, where will
the children be taught in safety?
- would a full replacement have
the same, more or less space / facilities?
- which design best reflects a
commitment to sustainability?
TELL THE VSB YOUR PRIORITIES FOR THE NEXT GORDON SCHOOL
