Council Roles
How do I become a Council member?

School Council is made up of 17 seats, with parent representatives elected each September. If you wish to be an elected and voting member of the Council, complete the Nomination Application (provided by the school in the Book of Forms each September) and return it by the due date listed on the form. If more than 17 applications are received, an election will be organized by an Election Committee. Election results are typically finalized in the October Council meeting.

 

What is expected of Council members?

  • Regularly attend and participate in Council meetings
  • Maintain a school-wide perspective on issues
  • Act as a link between the Council and the community
  • Help to achieve Council’s ongoing goals
  • Encourage the participation of all parents within the school community
  • Participate in committees and assist with Council tasks

 

What are Executive roles?

The Executive consists of the Chair, Vice Chair, Past Chair, Secretary and Treasurer, and is elected each year from the newly-elected parent members of the Council. These individuals have extra responsibilities at and outside of Council meetings.
