Catholic Central's School Council page

Welcome to new and returning parents and Guardians!

In order to accommodate the regulations, indicating that all parents/ guardians are to be given ten school days notice in advance of the School Council’s Annual General Meeting, we are inviting you to join us on a virtual platform. Catholic Central School Council for 2023-2024 will meet on September 13, 2023; October 11, 2023; November 15, 2023; January 17, 2024; March 13, 2024; April 17; 2024; June 12, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. on Campus East Library.

Catholic Central School Council meets the third Wednesday of each month, 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Campus East Library. Every parent/guardian is warmly invited to learn more about events in the school and district, meet other parents/staff, and be involved in positively shaping the direction of your school. School Council receives and discusses information about educational issues from the School Board and the school staff, manages a modest budget, and is a wonderful forum to become more involved in and connected with the Catholic Central community.

Come out to learn about what is happening in your child's school. The meetings are informative (and there is no fund raising!).
