School Planning Council
What is the SPC?
The School Planning Council consists of the school Principal, Karen Sjerven, and three parent representatives, Tina Vandermark, Heather Lewis and Sarah Leslie from the school's parent advisory council, all elected by secret ballot (or appointed if no election).
The SPC meet together several times during the year to plan and make goals for the next school year. They are also responsible for administering and collecting information from the School Wide Survey to help us set appropriate goals for our school.
