Friends of School Council
PACE (Parents Action Committee for Education)
- A Non-Profit Society which accesses funds generated by casinos and chooses to donate those funds to the school (school councils' can't do casinos, so a non-profit is created to run it on behalf of the school councils). This is the only work PACE does.
- Approx every 3 years PACE is commissioned to fill area casino volunteer positions for a 2 day time frame. We earn a portion of the casino’s earnings during that time.
Our last casino was in December of 2019 and we received approximately $43,000!
Our next casino is scheduled for September 28th and 29th 2023! Sign Up at this link to volunteer for a spot! CLICK HERE for volunteering times.
STUDENT CARE COMMITTEE
Donation Program
Did you know that when our school helps a student in need, fund a field trip, or buy winter boots, this money comes out of the school budget?
Now parents can help purchase these items for our students by making a donation to the Student Care Committee via school cash online.
• Donations will be used to meet material needs of all students and to ensure everyone can participate in school culture activities
• Funds raised will be allocated by school administration and our Child Development advisor Kerry Butler
• How donated funds were used will be reported in December and June school newsletters
• If the donation line disappears from school cash online it means we have received enough money for the time being. It will reappear when it is needed again.
• More money will stay in the school budget – a win-win for everyone!
In the 2022/2023 school year donations were spent to cover school
fees, provide field trips, purchase fruit and vegetables for children who need it, purchase spare clothing for when it was required and to lend a hand to families in need.
