We discussed how the school engages with the community that it is part of and agreed that the relationship should be symbiotic. This theme cropped up across the Sustainable Schools, some ideas arising from it can be found here.

One idea was that the new school should have a swimming pool that is open to the community and helps people exercise. The pool would have a crèche and swimming for very young children. Professional instructors would help people who are just learning or afraid of water. There will be times for adult and child only swimming room. Changing rooms will separate adults and children as well as boys and girls. If the pool earns a profit this money could be fed back into the school.

Rather than moving into temporary classrooms whilst the school is rebuilt students should go out into the community to learn and get work experience.
