SUPPORTING OUR STUDENTS S�u�en�
Suppo�� Se�vices �en��e
Currently, we do not have enough office space for learning support in the Junior School; we have had to convert closets into spaces for working one-on-one with students. Similarly, the Junior School’s two counsellors must share a crowded space in a central location. The learning support teachers and counsellors do not have all of the resources, equipment, and references they need at their fingertips to help students.
The new Student Support Services Centre will provide a centralized hub, dedicated to learning support and counselling. It will support the emotional health and the learning path of our students with welcoming, comfortable, well-resourced spaces.
Strengthening The Music Program
When the Great Hall in the Junior School is not being used for another purpose, it becomes a secondary teaching space for the Middle Years music program. The disadvantages are many: there is no storage space for instruments, the area is not soundproofed, opening and closing the wall takes away valuable teaching time, and it is not an ideal first impression upon entering the Junior School.
An additional music room on the lower floor in the new Junior School addition will allow students to learn and practice without interruption, store their instruments, and give teachers immediate access to teaching resources.
