The Purpose of Community Council

Purpose of School Community Council

To build consistent and effective communication
To allow parents an opportunity to be actively involved in their children’s education
To enhance academic excellence at the school and address the needs of students

The school community council also does one fundraiser a year to provide funds to be used at the school for the most pressing needs as decided by the council. The community council also has a say in how the CSIP and Trustland funds from the state are used in the school.
