Student vision guiding modernization of St. Patrick’s Community School
The modernization of St. Patrick’s Community School will not happen without input from students.
The north Red Deer school is undergoing a makeover worth $13.5 million, all of which has been provided by the Alberta government.
Planning and design work for the modernization is currently underway, with students themselves being approached for some of their ideas.
“We very much appreciate it,” says Maggie Hutchinson, a grade nine student at St.Pat’s. “Sometimes students feel like we’re not involved with the school as much as we should be. We complain about the lights, how cold one classroom is and how hot another is.”
