Building Schools for the Future Update

B.S.F. Update
We recently welcomed a film crew to De La Salle to film improvements made to the school as a result of the work some of our pupils have been doing with the Sorrell Foundation. In case you are not aware of them, The Sorrell Foundation are a charity set up to inspire creativity in young people and improve quality of life through good design. They have been working with us since 2007 to help identify the top issues pupils wanted to see improved as part of the B.S.F. programme. They were delighted to see that the pupil voice had been taken seriously and some suggestions made by pupils had already been implemented, prior to the main B.S.F. building project getting under way.
We have been working with the Student Council to identify what we need architects to now think about during our “dialogue” phase and have received some very good ideas and suggestions. As we start meeting with the various technical consultants and building experts, we are looking forward to passing their ideas on.
