​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. 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

The council assists the school in a variety of ways by being a link between the school and the community and by providing a sounding board for parental opinion regarding the operation of the school. Part of our School Council is a Willow Park Music Parents’ Group who support music learning at Willow Park School.

Meeting Dates/Schedule

Willow Park School has a vibrant and active School Council, which meets on the third Tuesday of most months (see dates below) from 7:00 - 8:30 PM. An open invitation is extended to all parents/guardians who wish to attend. 

Please come join us! 

At the current time, based upon health regulations, our meetings will be held virtually via Zoom.
