Invitation to Meet School Council Candidates

​School council elections are coming up!
This spring, our school community will decide who will help shape and direct local education for the next two years. We encourage parents and community members to consider this opportunity to contribute their ideas, insights, and perspectives in decisions that directly impact the school. Having broad representation from the community is important. Our school needs a variety of voices speaking and ears listening at the table – all sharing a common interest in student learning and education.
 
Eligibility to vote:  
To vote in the school council elections, you must be a Canadian citizen, at least 18 years old, and either:  

• Be the parent or guardian of a student attending St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Secondary School AND/OR  
• Have lived in the attendance area for at least three months and be a registered member of Sacred Heart Cathedral or Our Lady of Victory parish, OR  
• Contact the office of the Bishop of the Diocese of Whitehorse to discuss your interest in Catholic education.
