What is School Council? School Council consults with parents and guardians of students enrolled at VCI along with the greater community and provides advice to the administration and the UCDSB on behalf of the school community. School Council can also raise funds throughout the year to support students and staff, as well as fund bursaries for graduating students.
Why join School Council? School Council is a great way to get involved in school life and make a difference! Meetings involve reports from student leaders, staff and administration, as well as constructive discussion and initiatives that allow families to better engage in school life.
