About our School Council
Our School Council is made up of parents, teachers and the principal/vice principal. The School Council’s role is to provide an advisory forum to promote school growth, successful learning and increase parents/guardians’ participation in the education of their child.
There are usually four school council meetings per school year. All parents/ guardians of students attending Donald Young School are encouraged to attend our School Council meetings. Meeting dates will be on the monthly school calendar and in the newsletter.
