We welcome your questions, comments, or suggestions. You can contact the Notre Dame HS School Council via email at: doreacharbonneau@gmail.com
We are a volunteer group of parents, community members, teachers and school administrators who work to make Notre Dame High School a welcoming, supportive and caring environment for our children to learn and grow. We invite all parents and guardians to join us!
At our meetings we learn from the Principal and teachers about the curriculum and programs at the school, as well as developments at the Ottawa Catholic School Board and at the Ontario Ministry of Education. We also hear from Student Council about all their exciting - and creative - initiatives to help maintain a high level of school spirit. The parishes that make up the Notre Dame family of schools and our local community representative helps us keep abreast of local issues and developments. We discuss all these issues and offer input from the parents' point of view.
Through our fundraising we help to support student-oriented activities and facilities for the school, such as awards, library supplies and student teams and trips. Join us at our popular International Potluck during Education Week in May, and bring your favourite dish to share.
