What is School Council? 

School council provides an opportunity and the means to advise the principal and the Board on any matter pertaining to improvement of student achievement and enhancing the accountability of the education system to parents/guardians. School council is an important venue for the various stakeholders in education to work in partnership. Its role, in collaboration with the principal, staff and the community, is an advisory committee that helps set the priorities of the school, and to enhance learning opportunities, through various activities, for the benefit of our students.
