The Academic Resource Committee (ARC) is composed of volunteers who are parents or guardians of students with learning differences at Northern. Our mandate is to inform, engage, educate and support students with learning differences and their families. We run a variety of meetings and events throughout the year, and we advocate within and beyond the school on topics that are relevant to students with learning differences and their education, development and well-being. We have meetings, socials and events roughly six time per year. Details of each event will be shared through What's On, School Council emails and the principal’s weekly bulletins.
