This council is attended by members of the school administration, teacher representatives, student representatives and parent representatives.

The School Council draws up and votes on the school’s internal regulations.

It participates in drawing up and adopting the school project.

It gives its opinion on matters pertaining to the life of the school, in particular on the following subjects :

• Teaching and educational activities
• Use of resources allocated to the school
• Integration of children with special needs

The council is attended by members of the school’s administration (primary school principal), teacher representatives and parent representatives.

Our role as parent representatives is to be your voice on these councils, and to do this we would need to be aware of your questions and concerns. Please complete the following form before Friday October 6 if any items you would like us to cover.
