Making a Difference
Making a Difference
School Community Councils (SCCs) work co-operatively with schools to support opportunities for student learning, growth, and well-being. Members of the SCC, get to:
• share responsibility for the success and well-being of all children and youth; and,
• encourage parent, community and youth engagement in school planning and improvement.
We make a difference.
