Hello fellow parents and guardians. On behalf of Mary Ward’s Catholic School Parent Council (CSPC), I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all of you and your children to Mary Ward and to thank you for choosing Catholic education and Self-directed Learning. Our CSPC’s primary roles are to work on your behalf to:

1. Improve student achievement and well-being of Mary Ward’s students, and2. Advocate for parents and students; enhancing accountability within the education system.

We work to achieve the above by making recommendations to Mrs. Magee, the Principal, and to the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB), as appropriate, with a shared goal of transparency and community.

As advocates, CSPC (and myself as Chair), are available to listen to your needs and concerns. Please feel free to reach out to us for additional support if you would like help or assistance with your conversations with Mrs. Magee or their TA surrounding your child’s achievement or well-being. We are all dedicated to Mary Ward and are here to help so please do not hesitate to contact me.

My contact information is as follows:Ian Chin - ChairEmail: cspc.maryward@tcdsb.orgPhone: 416-397-6800

We are currently working with Mrs. Magee to post information on our Council’s activities (i.e. meeting minutes, reports etc.) on the school’s web site and will let you know when and where to find this information as soon as this initiative has been completed. Please join me in thanking and congratulating all our Council members below who have graciously volunteered their time and efforts to continue to make Mary Ward the excellent institution we have all come to appreciate and be recognized as.
