One of the most important ways parents/guardians and community members can make a meaningful difference for students is by participating on the school council. Under the Education Act, a school council is a collective association designed to advise the principal and the CBE Board of Trustees on matters related to the school. School councils have legislated advisory and decision-making authority defined within the Education Act and the School Councils Regulation. They are different from Parent Societies & Associations, whose main function is to raise funds for the school. You can find more details in the CBE School Council Handbook.

About Our School Council
The School Council meets regularly throughout the year, and all parents are encouraged to attend. It is a great way to keep informed of school decisions and to have an opportunity to direct enquiries or concerns to the school administration.
Meeting dates will be published in regular school messages that are sent home.
