School Council

Our Mission Statement:

The mission of the School Council is to support staff, students and parents in a Catholic education environment and to nurture students on their journey of education and faith development. 

As a parent or guardian of a student within St. John Paul II Catholic School, you are automatically a member of the School Council.  With that, we invite and encourage you to attend our monthly meetings.  It is an opportunity to for you to collaborate with other parents, teachers and administration to identify and support initiatives that benefit our students and stay informed about what is happening within the school to enhance the Catholic learning environment.
