The Waterloo-Oxford School Council is a group of parents/guardians that meet with the principal and school staff during the year.

On Wednesday, October 1, 2025, we will be hosting our first School Council meeting of the year at 6:30 in the W-O Library.  This is the same night that our football teams are playing night games and we are hoping you can join us between the end of the Junior game and before kickoff for the Senior game against WCI. This will be the first of four School Council meetings this year. 

School Council is a great way for you to be involved in the school experience for your child attending Waterloo-Oxford. At Council meetings, you will hear all of the latest news for the school and have your say on any issues that may come up during the school year.

Our first meeting of the school year will be on Wednesday, October 1st, 2025, in the Library at 6:30pm.

Following our presentation we will be establishing our 2023-24 School Council. The school council consists of an elected Chair, the principal, a teacher representative, student representative, and a school support staff member.

The only elected position is that of Chair. If more than one community member ( who currently has a student registered at the school) is interested in the role a vote will be held. Parents or legal guardians must have a student currently registered in the school to vote. All voting will take place in person.
