One of the most important ways parents/guardians and community members can make a meaningful difference for students is by participating on the school council. Under the Education Act, a school council is a collective association designed to advise the principal and the CBE Board of Trustees on matters related to the school. School councils have legislated advisory and decision-making authority defined within the Education Act and the School Councils Regulation. They are different from Parent Societies & Associations, whose main function is to raise funds for the school. You can find more details in the CBE School Council Handbook.

About Our School Council
H.D. Cartwright has an active School Council that supports the school by serving as a link between the school, the home, and the community. The Council is a collective of parents, administration and teachers working together to promote the well-being and effectiveness of the entire school community, to enhance student learning, and to facilitate cooperation among the concerned participants in the local school. All parents/guardians are encouraged and welcome to attend the meetings.
All meetings are Mondays and begin at 6:30 PM in the Learning Commons.
