School Councils are an excellent way for parents to get involved in their child`s education. Our school has an elected school council that is an important forum for involving all members of the school community in issues that affect the education of students. The school council is made up of an elected committee of parents, staff and student representatives, appointed community members, the principal, and a general membership which includes all parent of children attending the school. The school council offers input to the principal on a variety of issues and activities relating to student achievement, curriculum goals and priorities, school budget priorities, school safety, renovation plans, after school activities, and criteria for selection of new principals.
Our School Council is a vibrant collection of our community Parents and Guardians. They stay connected with Elmbank JMA, provide suggestions for initiatives and programs to support our children. The School Council meets at least four (4) times throughout the school year. Childcare is provided.
Our School Council Executive roles include: Chair (or Co-Chairs), Secretary and Treasurer.
