Message from the Principal

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Sir Oliver Mowat Collegiate Institute. Mowat is truly a place for learning, yet the lessons here reach far beyond books and classrooms. It is a place where we learn about friends and family, about competition, about triumph and defeat, about spirit and enthusiasm, and about what it is to be part of the community.

For those parents whose child is entering grade 9, we would like to extend a warm welcome to you and reassure you that we acknowledge that leaving elementary school for secondary school is an exciting yet challenging time. We believe in working together with you to support your child, as he or she strives to reach his or her potential, through both academic and extra-curricular endeavours. Being active makes school life rewarding and memorable.

The Mowat Parents' Handbook provides you with information we hope that you will find useful during the school year. Important dates, valuable information and a few tips on how to keep your child on task are included. Moreover, school policies are included to assist you in understanding life at Mowat.

I hope that you will take advantage of the many opportunities available to you to meet staff and for you and your child to become involved in the life of Mowat. I would like to acknowledge and thank our School Council for their time and work in creating this handbook. I look forward to meeting you in the near future. If you should have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact the school.

A Message from Mowat's School Council

Education is a partnership involving parents, students, teachers, principals, school boards, and the community. Involvement in the Mowat School Council gives you the opportunity to strengthen that partnership, and to be part of a dedicated team working to ensure a high quality of education for the Mowat students. It also provides a forum through which you, as parents, guardians, and other members of our school community, can contribute to improving your child's achievement and school performance. Your participation can make a difference!

The Mowat School Council normally meets seven times during the school year (see dates below). Each meeting includes briefings by the Principal, Vice-Principals, Curriculum Leaders, other staff, community liaisons, and student representatives. At some meetings, we have had themed presentations with a guest speaker, addressing topics of special interest or concern. We welcome additional suggestions for meeting topics from the school community, and are always open to new ideas. There are also various subcommittees of the council that form and meet, as needed. Currently, we have a Communications Subcommittee meeting to address communication between parents and the school.

All meetings are open to the public and Mowat parents are encouraged to attend as many meetings as they can. You don't have to be an elected member to attend any or all meetings. Just show up, grab some coffee or water, grab a seat, and enjoy the meeting.

For parents who are interested in becoming elected members of the School Council an information sheet and candidate declaration form can be obtained from the school. These nomination forms can also be found online, included in the School Council guide, and can be located by going to

The Mowat School Council also maintains an e-mail list for the distribution of meeting agendas, meeting minutes, community notices, and relevant school documents, as well as for the distribution of information from the school, the Board and the Ministry that may be of interest to parents. To join the E-mail list, please send an e-mail including your name and your child's grade to mowat.council@. Even if you can't attend meetings, you can keep in touch, be informed as to what is happening in the school, and have a place to ask questions. Join our e-mail list today and be a part of your Mowat School Council.
