In keeping with the theme of planning, the last two days have been very exciting as we have been working through the Master Plan Charrette Process. It has been fabulous to see the engagement of students, staff and parents as the planning has started to come together. A special thank you to those parents who have come along to both consultation afternoons – we really appreciate it!

Invitation to Participate - Chanel College Master Planning Charrette
I wish to invite you as a member of our community to participate in the review of the Master Plan for the future development of Chanel College.
As a result of the State Government initiative to incorporate Year 7 into Secondary Schooling it is necessary for the College Community to come together to consider the future needs of the College and plan how they will be delivered.
The College has engaged a group of leading planners and designers to undertake an innovative and consultative process called a Charrette.
Over three days, from Tuesday 26 August to Thursday 28 August these designers will establish themselves in the school to conceive and design in place the future physical development of the school.
To achieve the very best outcomes, the Design Team wishes to consult the College Community to ascertain the needs, expectations and aspirations of Parents, Students and Staff.
The Charrette Process is open and transparent and the designers will work intensively over three days in part of the College Library for all to see the plans develop and be critiqued.
A number of formal opportunities have been programmed for consultation with the College Community.
Firstly, and most importantly on Tuesday 26 August at 5:00 pm a meeting will be held in the McAuley Wing MC102 & 103. At this meeting, the Charrette Process will be explained in detail and a consultation to ascertain the community's expectations of the physical infrastructure needs of the College. This session is most important and everyone who is interested in influencing the future direction of the College should attend this session.
On Wednesday 27 August between 3.30 pm – 5.00 pm the designers will hold an Open Studio in the Library to explain and critique the evolving design concepts for the College.
All are welcome to participate in these sessions.
Finally, on Thursday 28 August from 4:30 pm to 6.00 pm in the Marian Centre, a final presentation will be made to the College Community of the design proposals for the future planning of the College.
I strongly encourage you as a member of our College Community to participate in this exciting, innovative and consultative process to ensure the very best outcomes for our current and future students.
