Our school is certainly not tne most outeurdly
attractive scaool in the district. Visitore orten feel lost as
thoy cannot fiud the sain eutrace or the office, Bucaure any
@ppekrance of desicn or architectural planning is non-existente
This se ean overloom if we xnew that inside the achool, the best
possible conditions exist for our caildrens

However, this is nut the case. Classes are constantl y
being reorganized as enrollment increases with the new hoze
conotruction. The prospests for this Septenber are worse than
e@evere He Carnot have a repeat of the last few yeurse There aust
be sufficient planning for the future enrollment, nowe

The over crowding is atill very bad and detrisental
to our children’s learning, Primary chiloren with dourni.ag
ALfficultios, they are forced to work with a special teagher is
@ crowaed hallway exit, adjacent to a kinder ;arten room ana an
open area, Constantly pasring them are chiluren from five differsnt .
Classrooms ,,oing to specialized activities (such as French, Musie
P. E> and art). Thia can certainly not bs beneficial to the
intensive and specialized learing these prinary cnildren need.

The ldibrary has inadejuate space for the enrollment of
the ackool and plane to enlarse it was rejected. hore is
Aneufficient seating Space for sven the small groups using 4%.
