The population of this parish is approximately three thousand. Within the entire parish there is a variety of \"communities\", from at one extreme, those living in affluence, prosperity and luxury to the other extreme where exists social and economic deprivation that impinges on the day to day efforts to live in a community that offers a meagre sense of fulfilment as well as constraints of human development and of self-actualization. The further education plan of this proposed community school was characterized by a diversity of courses, a flexibility of methods, an adaptability of curricula and a variety of educational venues in order to embrace effectively this complexity of \"communities\".
