School Council

Sheridan School Council is for Everyone!

We would like to welcome all parents and guardians of Sheridan Students to attend our monthly Council meetings. Join us in the staff room for a fun, casual evening of discussion and planning.

As a member of School Council you will have the benefit to hear firsthand what is happening here at Sheridan Public School. Every Council member is given an opportunity to voice their opinion and your thoughts will be taken into consideration when decisions are being made regarding the planning of school council events as well as in the spending of funds raised.

Please note that you do not have to be a voting member to attend any of our meetings and as a non voting member, you do not have to attend every meeting. We would love to hear you thoughts and ideas!
