School Council

Roch Carrier

This School Council website is a  great resource for staying up to date with the latest information for things going on with both the council and with the school. 

The Roch Carrier School Council is a partnership between parents, school staff, and interested community members. This group of volunteers is dedicated to enriching the lives of ROCH students through special events, hot lunches, and funding for school sports and extracurricular programs. We also have a formal role in making parent opinions and recommendations known to the school administration.

Ways council gives back to the school:

The council works with the school to arrange events, activities and help provide suggestions. Some of the items we worked on this year include:

  • School food & lunch programs
  • Rochin’ Fun Fair at the end of the school year
  • An annual cake walk
