The Applewood School Council acts as an advisory body to provide ideas and opinions to assist the principal and, where appropriate, the school in its decision-making on educational issues. The advice provided will be based on the general views of the school community and the best interests of all students throughout the school. The general guidelines of a School Council are followed to the best of our abilities, within the parameters of attendance and involvement.
Meetings are held on the 4th Tuesday of the month at 5:00pm in the school Library, exclusive of December, January, March and June. Additional meetings may be scheduled at the discretion of the Executive Council in conjunction with the school Principal.
Purpose and Objectives:
