WHAT WE BELIEVE
As parents and caregivers, we believe our children's educational experiences are more successful if we are involved in supporting their education.
OUR PAC's MISSion
Our mission is to support students and parents by providing essential social and educational resources on their behalf. We are dedicated to working together within a proactive and caring environment to enable students and families to reach their full potential as life-long learners and contributing global citizens.
Our belief is that every human being will succeed if given the right tools, structure, and opportunity and is treated with consistent care and respect.
Our goal is to enhance personal and academic achievement by promoting respectful, inclusive and healthy working partnerships within our school system and neighboring communities.
We ensure that we will exercise integrity and remain approachable, appropriate and accountable.

WHERE does the money go?
Every year, the PAC Executive applies for and receives a grant from the provincial gaming revenue of $20 per student. Gaming monies are to be spent on non-educational related items or events. In the past, our PAC has used this money to help fund teacher-led field trips, purchase awards, track & field uniforms, arts and cultural events, and to support fun events like the Halloween Dance.
Other funds raised directly by the PAC are spent on items and activities that enhance the educational experience for students, such as library books, earthquake emergencies supplies, new playground equipment, etc.
Fundraising campaigns that help sustain what we do include selling pizza & juice at school events (dances, movie nights and board game nights), Sun-Oka Apple Farm fundraisers, wreath and swag sales and direct donations. Fundraising efforts change from year to year - please visit the Fundraising page to see our upcoming fundraising initiatives. If you have a fundraising idea, please let us know!
