School Council

School Council is an advisory forum for our Principal, Mrs. Atkinson.  Each month she gives a brief report and asks for feedback from those parents in attendance.  Our School Council Chair and local School Trustees also present information on behalf of CTR and GrACE.  Attending School Council meetings is a great way to meet other parents in our community and be informed on latest initiatives at school, board and even at the provincial level. 

School Council is also tasked with the responsibility of deciding how Catholic Education monies is to be spent.  Catholic Education monies are collected at mass on Catholic Education Sunday, which takes place in November each year.  In the past, we have spent the monies on things such as our icon of St. Patrick in the atrium, individualized St. Patrick keychains for graduates, nativity scenes for the three corners of our center area and Stations of the Cross booklets.

The School Council Chairperson also attends three WARD meetings a year and Council of School Councils (an opportunity to collaborate with other chair people within the division).  They are also invited to take part in Council opportunities at the Provincial level.

Our current School Council Executive include:

  • Chair – Deanna Whiting
  • Vice Chair – Deborah Payne
  • Secretary – Dana Weimer
  • Principal – Diana Atkinson
  • Teacher Representatives – Crystal Lepp and Alli Perri

If you are interested in serving on School Council, please contact Mrs. Deanna Whiting at: dpoundwhiting@redeemer.ab.ca. 

All parents are welcome and invited to attend!  

Our mission is three-fold: to be models of GRATITUDE for our children, to continue promoting excellence in all areas of our school community through strong RELATIONSHIPS with our stakeholders, and to ENGAGE parents with topics that matter.
