What is a voting member?
Certain members of Council are elected annually by their peers at the first Council meeting of the school year. These roles come with specific responsibilities throughout the school year and require various time commitments.
How can you become a member?
Membership on the School Council is open to all parents/guardians of students enrolled in the school plus community representatives, teachers and administrative/support staff. The composition of our Council attempts to reflect the diversity of the community it serves.
We encourage parents and community members to become involved, as volunteers, guest experts, field trip helpers, event/fundraising organizers, or as member of our dynamic School Council. The more the merrier!
