Join us for the first meeting of the 24/25 school year

Our first meeting for the school year will take place on Tuesday, October 1st in the school library from 6:30 – 8pm. All parents and caregivers are welcome to attend. Council meetings are a great way to find out what is going on at the school, and to get to know other parents and caregivers. At this meeting, the 2024/25 school council executive will be nominated/acclaimed.
If you are interested in being a voting member of the school council, you can apply using the nomination form. Deadline for applications is Friday September 27, 2024, by the end of the school day. Your responsibilities include attending at least 70% of council meetings (we meet 4-5 times per year), as well as voting open key items like the school council budget. You can find a description of all the school council roles on our Who We Are page.
