Council elections. All Bowmore students should have brought home a school council flyer and self-nomination form for the upcoming School council election. If anyone has questions about any of the roles please feel free to email us at bowmoresc@gmail.com and we’d be happy to give you more info either over the phone or email. We have a number of members stepping down from their roles this year, many of whom have been on council for 2-5 years. In order for us to continue with a school council this school year we need 1-2 people to take on the co-chair role(s), among others. Reach out with questions!
