School Council

School Council is an excellent way for parents and caregivers to get involved in your school community.

Interested in joining your School Council? Talk to an administrator at your school for more information.

School Council Information

Welcome to the SAC School Council Information Page

The Sir Arthur Currie PS School Council is a group of staff, community partners, and family members that work together to guide the direction of the school, including academic achievement, school budget, parent and student engagement, extracurricular activities, and much more.

Membership on School Council is established each September, but meetings are open to all family members with children at the school. If you are interested in attending meetings or helping on a working group, please contact School Council by email.

Sub-Committees

View School Council Operating By-Laws and Policy (PDF)

School Council has several Sub-Committees that support different priorities at the school. Each group is run by a chair who is responsible for setting up and running meetings. You do not need to be a member of council to be part of a working group. If you are interested in helping, please contact the chair of the working group to volunteer your time.

Fundraising

Chair: Carla Badawi – Carla.Badawi@gmail.com

The purpose of this group is to find new fun ways to raise money for our school and volunteer time to help bring these fundraisers to life. Some of the items we are fundraising for include a naturalized playground, a school sign, instruments for the music program, technology for the classrooms, among many other items.

Parent Involvement

Chair: Sarah Chatham – Bethatuf@gmail.com

The purpose of this group is to work together to find new and creative ways to get parents involved in the school community. This involves volunteering in classrooms, having consistent and meaningful conversations between parents and the school, and having parents help support the school and classroom through their skills, experiences, and culture.

School Travel Planning

Chair: Andrew Clark – afclark82@gmail.com

The purpose of this group is to increase the safety and number of children using active modes of transportation (and school bus when eligible) and decrease the number of students driven to and from school. The current Action Plan can be viewed in the by-laws document linked above.
