PAC Fundraising
One of our most important functions as a PAC is to raise funds for use in our school for items such as computers, books, emergency packs, the playgrounds, sports equipment, and educational speakers. Our fundraisers continue to be successful and the money raised benefits our children in many ways. We thank you for your support!
PAC budgets are drafted, in May, with input from the teachers, administration and parent feedback. Everything on the budget must fall within district policy and guidelines and as such there are constraints on how PAC money can be spent. For example, the PAC cannot purchase curricular items for students such as textbooks. The proposed budget is presented at the AGM in May and can only be approved by majority vote. If you have any questions about the PAC uses funds raised, please contact us at [email protected].
