Parents' Council

Parents’ Council is a group of volunteer parents and guardians whose primary focus is community engagement through activities and events which are designed to connect our parents, and strengthen our school community and belonging.

ANNUAL PC INITIATIVES

Spring Fair

Each April, Parents’ Council hosts Spring Fair, a beloved Collingwood Tradition.

Families from both campuses celebrate at our Morven Campus with food and games.

Staff Appreciation

Parents’ Council hosts lunch for the dedicated faculty and staff of Collingwood at two separate events on our Junior and Senior School Campuses.

“The annual Teacher & Staff Appreciation Lunch is held at both campuses as a way to say thank you to all the wonderful people who make Collingwood so special for our students. Having the opportunity to organize this event on behalf of the entire Collingwood parent community is just one of the reasons why I love being part of the Collingwood Parents’ Council.”

Hospitality Coordinator 2018-2024

Grade-wide Coffee Mornings and the Summer Buddy Program

Each fall, we host grade-wide coffee mornings–a great opportunity to engage with PC and ask any questions you may have about the coming year, events or volunteer opportunities.In the summer we also run a New Family Summer Buddy program. New families to Collingwood are matched with an existing "Buddy Family" at Collingwood who has a child in the same grade.

This is a terrific opportunity for current families to give back to our wonderful school, by helping to make the transition for new families a welcoming and memorable experience.

Testimonials

FANFAN CHENG

Past Parents' Council Member

As a new immigrant, I have made many friendships through the variety of activities and diverse cultural interest groups that Parents’ Council organizes. As a PC volunteer I have found my sense of belonging here at Collingwood. It’s a community, a family, a warm environment for not only my child, but also for myself to flourish in!

CHRISTY TAYLOR

Past Parents' Council Member

Being involved in Parents’ Council is a way to help build bridges between families and our school. It is about celebrating our diverse community and creating new connections that are genuine and meaningful.

BAHAR HAFIZI-ROTH

Hospitality Coordinator

Volunteering on Parents’ Council has afforded me the opportunity to give back to the school that my kids love, and to make deep connections with other parent volunteers from different grades that I likely would not otherwise have met.

CAROLINE WONG

PC Vice-Chair

Joining Parents' Council has been such a fulfilling experience! Activities foster stronger friendships, bring parents together and build a stronger school community. Not only does it allow me, a relatively new parent to Collingwood, to meet parents across different grades but it has helped me be more connected to the school.
