Parent Guardian Group 

School Advisory Councils (SACs) are volunteer organizations that were established by the Nova Scotia Education Act, and are made up of parents/guardians, community members, the school principal, teachers and school support staff. 

An SAC serves as an advisory body to the school principal and AVRCE on a range of issues related to the school and the school system, such as school practices, fundraising, parent-school communication and school improvement. An SAC participates in the school’s ongoing efforts to continuously improve student achievement and school performance. The role of SACs was enhanced in 2018 to include providing advice on regional and provincial education policy development. A budget will be provided to each school with an SAC to support student achievement.
