Catholic School Council

The St. Marguerite d'Youville Catholic School Council is an advisory group made up of parents and staff. The council is a vital part of our school community. The purpose of a Catholic School Council, through the active participation of parents, is to improve pupil achievement and to enhance the accountability of the education process to parents.

Our Catholic School Council provides advice and support to the principal, and where appropriate, to senior administrative staff and the Board of Trustees on education matters. The advice should reflect the views of the school community.

Meeting Dates

Our Catholic School Council meetings take place on Zoom from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.  The link for the meeting will be sent out on the Sunday prior to the meeting with the Maverick Messenger update from Mrs. Assenza.

  • November 18, 2021
