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.

About Our School Council
Council meetings will be generally held on the first Thursday of each month at 6:30 - 9:00 pm (Excluding October and January). They will be held in-person, in the learning commons at Balmoral School or virtual on MS Teams. An invite will be sent out the week previous. As always, all parents are welcome to attend meetings to hear from the Principal.
