Our Student Council is a small but mighty group of dedicated parents who meet several times per year to help make this school a wonderful place to be! Research has shown that parental involvement is one of the most significant factors in children's success at school. Please consider joining our team where you will form new friendships and feel a sense of belonging at your child's school.
If you are interested in being part of our School Council, please contact the school at 519-364-2910.
What is Student Council?
The Bluewater District School Board believes that the education of our children is a shared responsibility among school, home and the community. In order to support these partnerships every school has a School Council.
The role of School Councils is to enhance student learning by:
a) acting in an advisory role on issues identified by consensus within the School Council.
b) acting in an advisory role on issues identified by the school and/or Board/School Group Council.
The following provides an overview of the membership of School Councils:
1. School Councils:
a) seek active representation from parents, staff, students, and the wider community.
b) seek to reflect the needs, uniqueness and diversity of the school community.
2. Members of a School Council shall include, but are not limited to:
a) parents of students enrolled in the school
b) community representatives
c) a student (mandatory in secondary schools, in elementary schools, it is at the discretion of the principal)
d) the school principal
e) a teacher
f) a non-teaching staff member
Parents form the majority of members of School Councils.
