Ask away! https://forms.office.com/r/F7xFutjusv

Working with school staff and students, community representatives, and other parents, Governing Board members are consulted on a variety of school issues that have a direct impact on student life @ HSB.

Meetings are held approximately one evening a month in the library.
Please see our Calendar of Events for meeting dates and locations.

All schools have a Governing Board as mandated by Quebec’s Ministry of Education.

Governing Boards are made up of an equal number of staff members and parents. Working together with the school Principal, the Governing Board plays a vital role in determining a school’s direction. Governing Board vacancies are filled every year during the Annual General Meeting of Parents.

Governing Boards are responsible for approving and overseeing a variety of issues including: the school’s educational projects, implementing the school’s regulation policy, the time allocated to each subject, the school budget and the student supervision policy.

Parent Participation Organization

The Parent Participation Organization (PPO) gives the opportunity to a larger number of parents to be more directly involved in the life of a school.

The purpose of the PPO is:

• To encourage parents’ participation in fostering their child’s success
• To encourage the collaboration of parents in developing, implementing and evaluating the
  school’s educational project.
• To engage in specific fundraising projects authorized by the Governing Board in support of
  the school’s educational mission and school life.

Contact Amanda Trimm, HSB school secretary, for more information, minutes, or to get in touch with a member of our Governing Board or PPO. Please include Governing Board (or PPO) in the subject line.
