We would like to thank all the families that were able to attend our School Council meeting last week. It was nice to have many new faces who shared their perspective, passion and fresh ideas. We were able to fill all our positions and look forward to working our new council.
Our past council did an amazing job in terms of building our school community. From starting off as a tiny school to the big school we are now, their commitment to Ron Southern went beyond the expectation of a School Council.
