The Role of Catholic School Councils

Catholic School Councils shall promote the vision and values and the sacramental life and Catholic practices of the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board, and be faithful to its mission.

The purpose of Catholic School Councils is, through the active participation of parents, to improve pupil achievement and to enhance the accountability of the education system to parents.

Council members shall always act in the best interest of the school and its students. Operating in a non-judgmental manner, with respect for confidentiality of parents, students and staff is very important. School councils play a positive role in helping to improve the school’s communication with the school community, support school-based services and community partnerships, and advise the principal in the areas of planning, goal-setting and the implementation of programs.
