All members of the College Community are expected to make an active contribution to this Vision. Carmel is made up of 5 buildings of varying ages. As well as substantial grounds to include pitches and sports fields. It has its own site team which will remain with the College but is limited with technology to support M&E activity. The M&E services are delivered by a number of contractors, all using their own systems and having various methods of reporting. Whilst documentation is clear and up to date, there is no central system in which to hold it and therefore manual processes are currently adopted.
