Hi Rose (and all).
I am profoundly grateful for your posting. What I've learned about OS
from you and everyone who commented is rich and deep. From what people
have said here, I'm learning that an appropriate framing of the
event, both theme and invitation, are essential.
So thank you so very much.

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.
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.
