Student Governance

The Primary Student Activity Council (SAC) is comprised of a representative from each class along with an alternate student selected from the overall grade. We have a total of 21 students this year from Grades 2 to 5 who were elected from their classes and grade levels.

The SAC meets officially once a week. During the meetings students work cooperatively to decide how we can make our school a better place, brainstorming ideas and then deciding how to accomplish their goals. Between meetings, the SAC members share details with their class, while collecting information from them to bring back to our meetings
