Want to become more involved in your children's school? Why not attend the School Council meetings? During these meetings, upcoming fundraising efforts are discussed, as well as other School Council initiatives. As our Principal and Teacher representative also attend these meetings, attending School Council Meetings provides insight into additional initiatives taking place at the school.
Meetings are held the first Tuesday of every month in the Learning Commons starting at 6:30. You do not have to be a voting member to have a voice or to see what's happening, so please join us - we value your input.
