PAC Executive elections to be held at the next PAC Meeting May 31, 2023.

Often, secondary school PACs are small. But we can make school and the school experience better for all with just a little participation. Plus we have a good relationship with the school admin. And having a PAC Executive means we can apply for $20 per student from the BC Lottery grants. And that’s a lot of money to do stuff with for students.

We welcome help / input / questions from all parents + guardians at JO in any and all programs! If you have feedback for us, please let us know! We try to make our events fun + informative + worth your time.

We are looking for people to volunteer for the following roles on the PAC Executive. Our incumbents will work with you until you feel comfortable taking over the role. The typical time commitment is 7 PAC meetings during school year, as well as 1-2 PAC socials or fundraisers. Each role takes between 45 minutes – 2 hours per month where there is a meeting.
