Class Reps

Introduction to being a CLASS Rep

What is a Class Rep and what do they do?

As a Class Representative ("Class Rep") you are the representative of your graduating class and a liaison between your classmates and JPPS-Bialik. We encourage classes to have more than one Class Rep whenever possible.

The main thrust of the Class Rep's position is to gather the views of their classmates and convey these constructively at Class Rep meetings and with Advancement staff members. As well, Class Reps play an integral part in organizing Class Reunions and other Class Gatherings. We also count on the Class Reps to help keep our database current vis-a-vis their classmates.

JPPS-Bialik will hold Class Rep meetings each year to discuss any issues, and these meetings are your opportunity to put forward your class’ views on the school, the information they are receiving, and how to better connect with our Alumni.

During your time as a Class Rep you may also be invited to other Committee meetings with the Head of School and/or any other members of the Administrative Team so that the school is better able to understand and react to what it means to be a JPPS-Bialik alumnus/alumna.

At each of these meetings your role is simple: to make sure that committee members know what it means to be an alumnus/alumna of JPPS-Bialik, and to pass on information about your experience, the experiences of your peers, and how you believe we can upgrade and support the ongoing experience of being a proud graduate.

As a Class Rep you have the following specific responsibilities:

  • To make yourself available to members of the class and to gather their views, concerns and opinions.
  • To attend and participate in Class Rep meetings (where appropriate). Not all meetings will require the Class Rep to physically be there, as some Reps will be living outside of Montreal.
  • To give feedback to members of your class following meetings and to communicate any other matters of interest.
  • To help update and maintain the school's database vis-a-vis the contact information of your classmates.
  • To help organize any Class Reunions and/or Class Gatherings.
