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

The committee helps break down barriers to parent/guardian engagement and aims to improve the relationship between families and schools to support students' education and well-being.
