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 and decision-making authority defined within the Education Act and the School Councils Regulation. 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.

About Our 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 from 6:30 - 8:00 PM in the staffroom and will alternate each month to provide flexibility for families. An open invitation is extended to all parents/guardians who wish to attend.
Please come join us!
