School Council
Our school council—focused on student success
Every Peel school has a school council—a group focused on helping students succeed. The council advises the principal about important issues:
- promoting effective communication between the school and parents
- supporting our School Success planning goals
- school code of behaviour
- encouraging parent and community involvement in our school
- promoting positive attitudes towards public education
- school and board policies, guidelines and initiatives that affect student achievement or board accountability to parents
The membership of our council includes:
- parents—who form the majority of council members
- teaching and support staff representatives
- community members
Our school council co-chairs are:
Catharine Chamberlain and Upali Dharmabandhu, thomasstms.council@peelsb.com
