HEADMASTER' M SSAGE This year to date has been one of challenge and change tnuch of it in connection with the School's acquisition of its new building, formerly St. .-Xndrew's Church. The building is extremely tiexible and uniquely suited for use by a school. To determine how to make the tnost effective use of it, the School has embarked on a two phase plan to test the building's potential. Until Christmas, during Phase One, the youngest students occupied the building. From Christmas to .lune. during Phase Two, the oldest students will be the primary oc- cupants. What we learn during these two phases will help tis make a more informed decision on the buildings ultimate use. This process of experimentation has been stimulating in that all Staff have been af- fected to some degree. many to a great degree, by thc changes in routines and places of teaching. These changes have been the catalyst for much sound thought and many useful suggestions for the School. The building increases the School's floor space by 50U'o. As it is the School's current policy UOI to increase enrollment, we see the acquisition helping strengthen our existing academic. athletic and extra-curricular programmes. During the year we have been able to make use of 80'Voof the building. This summer the sanctuary will be converted into a gym- nasium and other renovations will be made so that the building's flexibility for school use and future development is maintained. l have concentrated this message on this topic because although the rest of the year has been full with our regular programmes, -3 v - 1'2 nh the new building has focused much of our time and attention. l would like to express my thanks and ap- preciation to the Staff and members of the Board of Directors for their consistent and excellent contribution in carrying out our plan for this year. As well, l thank again all those who have given so generously to help the School make this appointment acquisition. lt is fitting that this new phase in the School's development should have linked to it the natnes of the School's Founder. and first Headmaster, Nlr. Algernon Lucas, and of its second Headmaster, Nlr. Colin Campbell Macaulay. Consequently. the main building of Selwyn House School at 95 Cote St. Antoine will be named The Lucas Building and the new one at l0l Cote St. Antoine will be named The Macaulay Building.
