Get involved!

Getting involved with School Council is a great way for parents/guardians to become more familiar with your child’s school and peers.

There are many ways to get involved!

Attend Council meetings. Find out what’s going on in the school from council members, the principal and a teacher representative. We would love to meet you and learn how to support you better. Take a look at the Council calendar for meeting dates and times. Take a look at past meeting agendas and minutes to find out what has been discussed before.

Volunteer for any of School Council’s ongoing projects and initiatives. You might be surprised to know how many initiatives are led by parents with the support of Council! Get involved by sharing your skills and experience or sign up for on-going events.

Here are some of the events that will require volunteers during the school year. Please send an email to woodroffecouncil@gmail.com to let us know which activities you are interested in.

• Picture Day – Help is needed to supervise and assist children during picture day.  We need approximately eight volunteers.
• Winter Carnival – This fun event, usually held in February, requires the help of several parent volunteers. Come help out for half a day and watch your children play in the snow!   We need approximately 20 volunteers.
• Active Transportation and Active Kids – Ongoing activities throughout the year to support Active Kids, including the Walk to School days, Fitness Week, Kilometer Club and other sports clubs (such as soccer and basketball).
• Spring Fling – Spring Fling is our school’s biggest fundraiser.  In order to run a successful event, we require volunteers to help organize ahead of time and many volunteers the day of the event.  Please sign up now so we can ensure enough volunteers to continue this Woodroffe Avenue Public School tradition.  We need between 90 and 100 volunteers to successfully run this fundraiser.
• Other fundraising events – We’re always looking for help with fundraising, with a variety of events throughout the year.
