Westlawn Area School Project

CONCEPT DESIGNS

In March 2019, the community shared what they’d like to see in the new schools. The design team used this to inform the concept designs presented in June.

BACKGROUND

In spring 2016, we invited parents and community members in the greater Westlawn area to talk about the condition of Afton, Glendale, Sherwood and Westlawn schools. Throughout 2016, we discussed potential school concepts and other community projects happening in the area. A working committee group developed a community-driven plan.

FUNDING FOR TWO NEW SCHOOLS

In spring 2017, we presented concepts based on feedback we heard from all public meetings, responses to online surveys and from the working committee. The community showed a preference for Concept 2:

• a new K-3 school on the Afton School site (Aleda Patterson School)
• a Grade 4-9 school on the Westlawn School site (Alex Janvier School)

The provincial government announced funding for this project, which will consolidate all students from Afton, Glendale, Sherwood and Westlawn schools into the two new schools when they open.

CLOSED SCHOOLS

We hosted a public meeting at Westlawn School on May 28, 2018, to discuss the recommendation to close Afton, Glendale, Sherwood and Westlawn schools. At the October 23, 2018, Board meeting, the Board of Trustees voted to close the four schools effective on the last operational day prior to the opening of the new schools. This means the four schools will remain open and continue serving students until the two replacement schools are opened.
