Petition to Reinforce the Proper Utilization of the Lisa Narcisse Performing Arts Centre and the Music House at the Immaculate Conception High School

The destruction of such an iconic institution is disgraceful

Lisa Narcisse must be turning in her grave. This music programme at Immaculate Conception High School is like none other in the Caribbean and we cannot allow the current administration to do whatever it feels like whenever it is convenient. We must uphold standards and discipline. My daughter is a product of the ICHS SO and eating in that building was never allowed! To have young people being fed and housed there is not the designated purpose of the building and will definitely encourage the growth of insects and possibly rodents. We have a hostel at the Convent that I’m sure the Franciscan Sisters would have allowed the young athletes to stay at for a discounted price as they have done in the past.

Music has always been a source of inspiration and excellence at ICHS. The convent has also welcomed me as a guest when the class of 1971 had their first reunion. I would wholeheartedly support a request to use those more appropriate facilities to host our athletes and ensure proper rest prior to the competition.

Agree

Excellent teacher and legacy to ICHS

Please respect, preserve and protect the legacy of the building and the original intention of it existence.

I fully support this petition.

Let us protect what we have

I'm in full support of this petition

I support the prohibition of food distribution in the Preforming Arts Center and it's use only for music and arts related events.

Fully support

I disagree that this space be used for activities that are not ICHS related and for the use specifically mentioned in this petition

I am against using this space for sports activities

With my full support!

I agree that this space must be utilized for it's intended purpose.

Fully support

They’re doing WHAT at the music house???

I was saddened to see the misuse of Lisa Narcisse Performing arts space. I hope ICHS will appreciate and the history of music housed in this building

This is a precious and historic space that facilitates the ability to provide the priceless gift of music to future generations of Immaculate students.

Because of this music program, I am able to have a career as a full time musician. I am now a lecturer at the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts. As a high school student, this music program allowed me the opportunity to study music in North America and Europe. I was the concert master of the Interlochen Philharmonic, an orchestra at a very prestigious arts camp in Michigan. I am not sure that I'd have a career today without the orchestra and Music department at ICHS. Also, this program gave me a lovely community of friends who I still make music with to this day.
