School Council
School Council is a team of parents, community members and school staff volunteers who support and enhance the community and school relationship. It is a great way to be involved, make a difference and support your child's school community. Our School Council contributes to improving student achievement and well-being. They are involved in fundraising initiatives, enhancing and supporting school events, hot lunches, offering support for extracurricular activities, celebrating the diversity of our community, and much more.
