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
Peter Lougheed has an active School Council that supports the school by serving as a link between the school, the home, and the community. We will hold monthly meetings at the school (see below).
This group serves as a sounding board for parents’ opinions regarding the school and its programs, and becomes actively involved in numerous school initiatives. Parents/guardians are welcome and encouraged to attend these meetings and become involved in the life of the school.
Meeting Dates/Schedule
School council meetings are on the third Thursday of each month from 6:00 - 7:30 pm.
