Northern Secondary School Council

Northern provides a great educational experience for students through academics, diverse extracurricular activities and clubs, and robust athletics program. Although there is a budget provided to every school to support school activities, it’s not enough. Although there is a student activity fee, it’s not enough. The reality is that many additional needs fall outside of the TDSB budget.

Whether you are just starting or in your last year at Northern, newcomer or Northern alumna, social or academic – every parent has questions.

What’s important to know at Northern? how do I get connected to teachers, clubs, parents? what is course selection? how to plan for post-secondary? what supports are there for special needs? how to connect with my teen? And the list goes on…

Northern School Council is pleased to host ongoing opportunities to ask these questions, share experiences, and get help. Everything we do is “for parents, by parents”, and there is something for everyone.
