One of the most important ways parents/guardians and community members can make a meaningful difference for students is by participating on the school council. Under the Education Act, a school council is a collective association designed to advise the principal and the CBE Board of Trustees on matters related to the school. School councils have legislated advisory and decision-making authority defined within the Education Act and the School Councils Regulation. They are different from Parent Societies & Associations, whose main function is to raise funds for the school. You can find more details in the CBE School Council Handbook.

Calling all parents/guardians!
Our School Council/Parent Association is meeting on Wednesday, September 9th at 6:30 in the school learning commons. We encourage you to join us in an evening of great conversations, valuable decision making and learning about the relevant matters happening in our amazing school. Our Principal Marla Paxton and Assistant Principal Linnea Mawer will be there to update us on the educational needs of the students and teachers. This is where the important decisions are voted on by school council/parent association members.
We are always looking for voting members, come have a say in how our fundraising and Casino money is being used to better the experiences our children have at Erin Woods School.
Perks of being a member is having front row VIP seats to all our school concerts.
We hope to see you there. No experience necessary.
