Nelson School Council SCHOOL COUNCILS HELP GOOD SCHOOLS BECOME EVEN BETTER Nelson Wants You!!
Nelson High School and the Halton District School Board value the involvement of parents, guardians and community members.
Role of the School Council A School Council (sometimes also called a Parent Council) is an advisory body functioning under Ministry of Education Regulation 612/00 and board policy. The Council’s role, in collaboration with the principal, staff and community, is to provide input and advice with regard to school goals and to enhance learning opportunities, through various activities, for the benefit of all students in the school.
School Councils play an important role in student success. By working together as partners, we can encourage greater academic achievement and prepare our students for success as responsible, participating citizens of the global community.
Here at Nelson The Nelson School Council typically meets on the third Monday of each month in the Staff Room (near the main entrance) at 7:15 p.m (click the link on the left to see the full schedule). At each meeting, we discuss
current and upcoming events at the school as well as long-term plans. It’s a great opportunity to keep well-informed about the school and, if you wish, to contribute your own ideas. All parents, guardians and interested community members are welcome to join – there’s no need to call ahead, just show up on the night!
