Please note this is a cashless event so we will only be able to accept Debit/Credit as a form of payment. School Council The Taradale School Council is an adult business meeting. We do not have childcare available. Our next meeting is November 25, 2025 at 6:15 (in person) in the Gathering Space. This is the Taradale School Council Annual General Meeting. The position of Chair of the Taradale School Council was vacated in October. We also had a Vice Chair position that was vacated at the end of June. At this meeting, we will need to fill these 2 positions. The Chair leads parent council meetings, sets agendas, and works closely with school leadership to represent parent interests. They act as the main point of contact for the council. The Vice-Chair supports the Chair and steps in when the Chair is not available. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow night!
