Since the beginning of the year the students have been confronted with a variety of problems that are similar to the one that had happened. In the meeting were present all students except from Georgie Manly, Lauren O'Day and Jeanne Mirodatos. Upon to decisions made by most of the students I, Filipe Canha (VLP Student Representative), underline the most important fractions to address.

Unlikely, Simon Betts (CCW) wont be at Wimbledon College of Art on Tuesday the 10th and there is a need to have this meeting urgently.
