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 School 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. 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​.​​​​

School council meetings are a great way to learn about all the wonderful programs and activities. More importantly it provides a great venue for contributing your input and ideas on ways to make the high school experience even better for our students. Participating in school council provides opportunities at the high school level for involvement with school activities and engagement with other parents and administration.
