PAC Meetings usually happen on the second Wednesday of each month at 2:30pm in our school Library. Everyone is encouraged to attend.  If you are interested in volunteering with our PAC, please contact President Julie de Boer 250-306-2614.

Briefly, the formal role of PAC is to:

• advise the school administration and staff on parental views about school programs, policies and activities
• communicate with parents about programs, policies and activities
• organize PAC activities and events including fundraising

Our education system values parents and includes them in a variety of ways.  All parents are members of the Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) by virtue of being a school parent or guardian.  PAC gives parents a voice in the educational decision-making process on local, district, regional, and provincial levels.  The more parents involved, the stronger the voice when it comes to educational issues that affect our children.  Highland Park’s PAC has been very instrumental in shaping school decisions.  As well, the PAC has been hugely supportive by providing our school with materials, equipment and programs through their consistent fund raising.  All parents are encouraged to be active in the PAC and attend at least one meeting a year. Parents are very important to Highland Park. They play a day-to-day role in helping to create a positive, creative school community.  The school appreciates all the help parents give in volunteering for a wide variety of activities.
