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.
Meeting Dates/Schedule
School Council meets the second Monday of the month at 6 PM in our Learning Commons or online. See our calendar page for more details. Come on out, have your voice, ideas and opinions heard plus meet some amazing people. All parents and guardians of our students are welcome.
The Annual General Meeting takes place during the October meeting each year. This is where new volunteers are voted into positions for the upcoming year.
