The Concerned Communities Coalition Launch took place on 3 March at St Andrew’s School for Girls. My thanks to St Andrew’s for hosting us. The launch was well supported and the attached document reflects the schools that have associated themselves with the project. We have received official endorsement by the Human Rights Commission, and are working with them and potential funders to expand this project a much wider range of schools through the Department of Education.
The programme involves three dimensions: education, partnership, and co-operation. It is proposed that Heads of schools consider implementing the programme in the following way
This programme has generated a lot of interest from the media, and I have been inundated with offers of support. I am thus able to offer any school wishing to implement this programme all the resources at my disposal, including references to people who can speak on the topic, references to counsellors and support organisations, as well as logistical and implementation support from myself and the other schools that have started the implementation phase. This programme is a positive intervention, and has been well received in the schools that have implemented it. The implementation stages here are a suggestion based on some pilot projects given with the full understanding of the different nuances of each school’s character and needs. The powerpoint presentation used at the launch is available as a download from www.stjohnscollege.co.za (from Monday). Use what you will, how you will.
