Thank you, Leigh for the Karakia
Welcome to Kris Morris-Vette – CEO Watershed, to discuss priorities for the next 10 Year Property Plan and 5 Year Property Agreement priorities.
- Property Management in Education working for the Ministry directly. 10 YA is a broad view of what the school is wanting. 5Ya – agreement with Ministry – 5-year plan (detailed what the school would like done and the level) MOE dictates priority. Buildings need to be done first then carpets, lighting etc. P1/P2/P3. 5YA money is capital money. 10 YA is a broad view of what the school is wanting. Aware of vision is for 10 years not just 5 YA and how we get there in steps. What is important for the school and how do we get there in steps due to the finances. Refine expectations.
- Discussed what Watershed’s role is. Watershed tenders in clusters and then gets awarded MOE contracts for 5YA plans for schools. 2024 is next 5YA due July–2024 work will start late in 2023 and then discuss vision etc. Draft review will come through and think about where we want to go. Think about what is important for the school and the community. Need to lay the groundwork.
- 2 projects underway weather – tightness and the Admin Block (new) the smaller projects include roof replacement. Administration was classed as a security risk that is why we were able to get this accepted with the Ministry. Windows that have not been touched since 1953 will need doing, Maintenance within the school. Current plan we have is in order and on the 10YA plan. The next stage is to address the upstairs areas and corridors, (safety) supervision, bullying. Possibly a balcony with a cover upstairs and downstairs. All stairways would be open public corridors. Keeping in mind fire exits etc., not wanting to put temporary buildings in. Need to discuss what is important and what needs to be portioned up. Watershed would review if they did not get the new 5YA with a new property consultant if that happened.
Thank you to Kris – Watershed for the great reporting and breakdown of what they provide.
