PARTNERING WORKSHOP
October 20th 2005- at the 'Hub' next to Mount Pleasant

We weren't sure what a workshop was but everyone on the team was invited. We had to meet everyone and explain who we were and what our job was on the project. No one had ever had a construction buddy on their project before and we felt very proud to be doing such new and exciting work.

Here we are having lunch with everyone. There was a lovely chicken curry and rice, but we had crisps.

We had been talking about some important things in the morning, like what we could do to raise more money to pay for all the things we would like in the new school and how to be realistic about what we want so it doesn't cost too much. We also talked a lot about the challenges facing the project and how we could manage them and help make the new school the best it could be for the community.

Here are some of the others who were there. You can see David on the left(Head of the school governors) and Rob from the Education Authority.

We spent a lot of time listening to each other to hear what the project really means to everyone and the community. What they were hoping to achieve and how we can help each other.
