VOLUNTEER WITH US IN 2025! EXECUTIVE ROLES ARE OPEN 

Attention Parents: are still IN NEED of volunteers to join the School Council executive as Chair and Vice-Chair. Due to term limits, we have roles to fill, but have past volunteers who can transition throughout the year to anyone new (no experience required!). Committees are also open if you’d like to pick something of particular interest or time. If you have ideas and desire to help build school community, there’s a place for you.
