Our Mission
School Council
Our School Council’s mission is to support meaningful parental involvement in decisions that affect Queen Elizabeth School and its operations.
One of the most important ways parents/guardians and community members can make a meaningful difference for students is by participating on the school council. Under the Education Act, a school council is a collective association designed to advise the principal and the CBE Board of Trustees on matters related to the school. School councils have legislated advisory. They are different from Parent Societies & Associations, whose main function is to raise funds for the school. For more information, see the CBE’s School Council Handbook.

Parent Society (QEEPES)
One way parents/guardians can make a meaningful difference for students is by participating on our school’s parent society. Parent societies are a formal group of parents, incorporated under the Societies Act for the purpose of raising funds for the school. A society is a separate legal entity from the school council. For more information, see the CBE Administrative Regulation 5001 – School Councils and School/Parent Societies.
Our Parent Society is known as the Queen Elizabeth Elementary Parent Enhancement Society (QEEPES)
Casino funding is one of the primary ways in which QES funds extra technology needs like laptop computers and new Smartboards, special residency opportunities, new P.E. equipment, Razkids, STEAM resources, financial support to cover a portion of the bus costs for swimming and much more. Without the Casino funding we would notice a significant decrease in materials, supports and exciting opportunities for students.
