Parent meeting with Robin Belles, Project Director Fieldwork EducationTo all QSI parents, You are all invited to join a meeting with Robin Belles, Project Director Fieldwork Education Date: Wednesday 10/10 Time: 19:00 Location: Caspian Club Last year questions were raised by parents of QSI school. These questions reached Shell global HR. Shell and QSI subsequently agreed to ask Fieldwork Education to assist in clarifying these issues and offer assistance where possible. Fieldwork Education has provided consultancy for all Shell affiliated schools for more than 25 years. Their job is to help Shell schools out with quality assurance, recruitment, professional and curriculum development and policies. There are some schools that enter the Consultancy service contract that are not Shell owned or controlled in any way. QSI is one of these schools and our role is hence solely advisory. I have been in role as Project Director for all this contract since 2008. I will visit the school on Wednesday 10th and Thursday 11th of October. I would like an opportunity to listen to your questions, experience and feedback. Next to that, I will explain my role and remit and explain more about the approach Fieldwork has with all schools they service or operate. The key aim for my visit is to learn about the context of the school and establish relationships going forward. Looking forward to you joining this meeting.
