Relationships between schools and their communities can be strengthened through the establishment of local school councils which serve as a means of improving student learning and school effectiveness. School councils exist to provide parents, staff, students and community representatives with a more responsible and active role in education programs and services within their local community.

Bramalea School Council

Bramalea Secondary School has had an advisory committee of parents in operation for a number of years. It is open to any parent/guardian who wishes to attend. Meetings are scheduled four times each school year. Meetings are normally held in the School Library Information Centre from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. See Calendar Section - Dates to Remember for specific dates.

The Council elects six parents, one elected teacher, one elected student, one elected non- teaching staff member and one appointed community representative but welcomes all other interested parents, staff and students to its meetings. The main purpose of the Council is to bring together the home, the school and the other educational forces in the lives of our students, to work collaboratively for their success. We share developments at the school and conditions in the community that affect our young people. Public support for Bramalea is actively promoted by making parents more aware of their role and increasing their knowledge of our programs and policies.

The Bramalea School Council and the staff hope to plan a special community-oriented program on a theme deemed important each meeting. Please consider attending one or all meetings this year. We welcome your involvement.

PIease call Mrs. Weaver at (905) 793-2400 if you are interested in serving and can attend.

Please note that all School Council meetings take place in the School Library Information Centre.

To contact a Council Member, please phone the Principal.
