Ideal Mini School • Is a district enriched academic program for grades 8 -12 that is under the stewardship of Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School • A safe environment, in a stand-alone facility, for creative, academically motivated students who feel that they would flourish in a smaller learning environment • Fosters social responsibility and awareness, community involvement, leadership, and academic excellence • Its small learning environment provides students with the opportunity to develop leadership Why are we here? • Ideal Mini has existed in its own stand-alone building for more than 30 years • As outlined in the draft 2019 LRFP document, the possible relocation of Ideal Mini from its current stand-alone facility to a larger school with surplus capacity We are here tonight to strongly request that Ideal Mini remains at its current stand-alone facility because this stand-alone structure is the foundation to Ideal’s success. Ideal would lose its essence if it were to exist within a larger school body What is unique about our program? • Cross-grade interactions and collaborations are the norm (e.g., annual 3-day school camp at Timberline, weekly student-led school meetings, tutoring club) • Barriers to collaboration are very low due to familiarity between students as a result of small learning environment • Senior students mentor the younger students • Group work is integral to the Ideal philosophy At Ideal, the stand-alone facility creates an environment where teachers and senior students can instill or strengthen the core Ideal values of learning, respect, honesty, and justice in our younger students. How Ideal students achieve success • Ideal is a small, stand-alone facility which allows students and teachers to establish a strong working relationship • Teachers know their students well and thus are able to suggest opportunities and challenges • Students, immersed in this tightly-knit community, feel safe and supported thus empowered to strive for excellence This school year, shining examples of Ideal student success: • Ideal student presence at the District Student Council • WE Club student honoured with the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers • 2 Destination Imagination teams qualifying to the Global Finals • Youngest team to qualify for the National Ethics Bowl Why Ideal should NOT close or relocate • Ideal is a humble building BUT it is seismically safe • Ideal is operating at near capacity • Teachers and students have built a school community that is safe, welcoming, inclusive, and accepting --- students who are shy or reserved have found strength and security in this community and accordingly have actively engaged in leadership opportunities This community cannot be truly replicated in a larger school because Ideal would need to integrate its community into the community of the larger school. Ideal would lose its essence if it were to relocate to a larger school. Presentation to Plenary Facilities Planning Com m ittee Vancouver DPAC May 15, 2019 1. Introduction Contents 2.
