A Message from Parent Council for Parents

From our School Council and Parent Advisory Association 


School Council

Our NSCHS (Parent) Council provides an opportunity for parents, students, teachers and community members to provide input, in an advisory capacity, to the administration of our school.  Our School Council members meet on a monthly basis to discuss and collaborate on enhancing student learning and fostering the well-being and efficacy of our teaching and learning community.

All members of our school community are encouraged to attend and participate.

A school council is mandatory for all schools in Alberta.

Parent Association

Our NSCHS Parent Advisory Association is our fund-raising volunteer parent organization that retains an Alberta Gaming License.  Our Parent Association continues to fund many valuable aspects of our school’s learning community and activities.
