School addition update!

In April, members of the St. Philip School Council met with representatives from the OCSB Planning and Facilities team regarding the addition. We have been given approval to share an update of what we learned during this presentation - see the summary at this Google link. 
Note that while the information presented in the summary document was accurate at the time of the meeting, changes may occur during the planning and construction stages. 

Updates on the addition will be included in the TGIF newsletter on an on-going basis, so be sure to look for this when you receive the newsletter each Friday. If you are not receiving the weekly newsletters from the school, be sure to sign up to receive these in School Messenger. 

If you have any questions about the addition, you can send these to us at st.philip.school.council@gmail.com and we will compile all the questions together to be shared with the school administration and the OCSB Planning and Facilities Department, so that future updates may be able to address these questions.
