School Council is a very active organization at École Forest Trail Public School with many parent volunteers participating in council, committees, events, programs and initiatives.  Check out Council Meetings to find out when the next meeting is.

School Council's Purpose

The purpose of School Council is to work with administration to help set the direction of the school to build a healthy learning environment where our students are happy and thriving.  

In our December meeting, School Council combined the various "wish lists" received from school administration, student parliament and parents, and broke them down into five categories.  Our focus for the 2011/2012 school year is to address the five categories: Technology, Student Learning, Safety & Well-Being, Friends & Community, and "Our Backyard".  Currently there are several initiatives in progress to achieve elements in each.   For example, Movie nights are happening, Carnaval planning is well underway as is the preparations for a Zumba & Yoga day in March and the summer EFT Mini-Olympics in June!  

Below are some prioritized items from the wish lists broken down into the categories, and noted are the items that have been approved to date.  As more funds are raised and secured, we will continue to add and/or approve items on this list.
