Quality parent and guardian engagement helps improve the relationship between families and schools, which supports students' education and well-being.
Parent Council
Our Parent Council meets regularly during the school year to review current events at Margaret D Bennie and within the GECDSB, such as School Board priorities, policies, and procedures. Our principal highlights how GECDSB Policies impact Margaret D Bennie School. As an IB PYP World School, it is important for us to seek out parent and community voices. Please consider joining these meetings.
Meetings
