School Advisory Council

In conjunction with the Strategic Plan, we have established a School Advisory Council (SAC) comprised of parents, parish members, and community leaders. The Council's purpose is to provide advice and assistance to the School’s Administrative Team (Pastor/Pastoral Administrator and Principal) in the governance of the School.  Bringing valuable expertise and experience, these members have operated in committees, tasked with achieving the goals and priorities in the plan.
