The last formal School Council Meeting for 2009 will be held next Monday 23^rd November. In anticipation of this final meeting, I wanted to take this opportunity to sincerely thank our councillors for their wonderful commitment and support of the school during 2009. Typically our councillors have met every 2 -3 weeks for both scheduled subcommittee and School Council meetings. The business of the council this year has been unusually busy with many major government initiatives to consider and I am extremely grateful for the insights and expertise that our councillors have contributed to the decision making processes of the school.
