<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you kindly - To all the people who commented, for the
very helpful questions posed and the number of useful suggestions that were
made. All your responses are going to help me stay busy in unpacking what preparation
is required prior to facilitating OS, the impact of psychosocial and
developmental stages on individuals and group dynamics, the principal’s
and teachers’ input and in particular my part in all of this.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>To begin with, I can now see in hindsight that I was way too
ambitious in what the participants were capable of and the principal really
wanted to believe that she was leading a community that did want to take
responsibility, so much so that the students were probably too enthusiastically
encouraged to accept the invitation.  The parents were probably the true
barometer of the community as they did not show a significant interest and
trust to turn up.  It seems that much more is needed at the consulting and
planning stage with all parties to determine their interest, willingness and
capacity to be part of creating a better community prior to the OS event.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Regards<o:p></o:p></p>
