The Holy Rosary School Council is advisory in nature. Meetings are held the first Thursday of each month at 5:15 in the church foyer. The School Council collaborates with school administrators in connection with the following matters:
  • Planning,
  • General Policy formulation and adaptation,
  • Development, public relations, recruitment, and marketing,
  • Annual evaluation of school goals and plans, of their own effectiveness as council members and of the principal's relations with the board,
  • Participation in the selection of a new principal, and
  • Participation in the comprehensive evaluation of the principal.
Characteristics of effective school council members include:
  • An active practicing Catholic who is a person of deep faith and prayer committed to serving the Church,
  • Commitment to the support of Catholic schools,
  • Readiness to give time, talent and share wisdom,
  • Understanding of and commitment to a shared decision-making process and the principles of consensus-building,
  • Understanding and respect of Church structure and accountability,
  • Openness to change and creativity,
  • Commitment to maintain confidentiality in appropriate matters,
  • Commitment to avoid conflicts of interest, and
  • Willingness to recommend or donate services rather than profit from service on the Council.
