Get involved in School Council; whether you contribute time, resources or contacts, every parent member of our school community is welcome to join. If you can’t attend our 10 meetings a year, then join as a general parent member and offer your opinions and ideas.
If you have any ideas, questions or concerns, we welcome your feedback. Please contact us at lbratina@sympatico.ca (Chair School Council)
