What is School Council?
School Council is the legally formed body that is given powers to set the key directions of a school. It is the major governing body of the school that, within DET guidelines, decides the future directions for the school and oversees the school’s operation. At Drouin West Primary School, we have an active and enthusiastic School Council that typically meets every third Tuesday of the month.
More information on joining or participating in a school council can be found here.
