School Council & FANHS: What’s the Difference?

Fundraising Association of New Horizons School

The Fundraising Association of New Horizons School — otherwise known as FANHS — is a legal entity separate from New Horizons School. Governed by the Societies Act and associated Societies Regulations, our organization exists specifically to fundraise for New Horizons School. Through our fundraising efforts, we fiscally support enrichment opportunities for the New Horizons community and have an understanding of funds required through conversations with Administration and School Council. Although we are separate from the school, the Principal is the final decision maker when it comes to actions directly affecting the school building, staff, or students. FANHS operates in a coordinated, but independent manner from School Council.

School Council

School Councils are legislated under the Education Act (Section 55) and are mandatory for all schools. Additional legal requirements are identified in the School Council Regulations. School Councils work to support parental involvement in the school community and enhance student learning. They are: 

  • are a bridge between the school and community
  • focus on what is best for all students in the school
  • consider the interests of all school stakeholders
  • develop, maintain and reflect the culture of the school
  • represent the parent voice in the school community

School Council: Membership

All NHS parents are members of School Council by virtue of having a child registered at the school. Parents are invited to participate in monthly meetings.

FANHS Membership

Why Membership?

Members can actively participate and vote in the SGM, AGM, or any General meeting of the Society; members can also form the Executive through elections at the AGM. Members are welcome to serve on Committees and Chair fundraisers. 

Gratitude

We extend our sincerest gratitude to the New Horizons community for your ongoing support. 

While FANHS offers many opportunities for families to spend their money, we do not believe that anyone should feel obligated to. We are equally grateful to the families who engage and participate with FANHS in any capacity — whether that’s through purchases, sharing our fundraisers with their community, or volunteering with us, the continued growth and success of FANHS is thanks to all kinds of support.

The more support we receive, the greater the impact for the NHS community.
