MEETINGS
PAC meetings are an opportunity for parents to find out what’s going on at RWES and bring forward concerns or ideas concerning their children’s school experience.
PAC is involved in a variety of activities.

HEALTH AND SAFETY
PAC assists in the conduct of head lice checks in the school.  We are also concerned with earthquake, and disaster preparedness, as well as issues of student conduct and bullying.  We work with the school and the RCMP to support events like DARE anti drug and alcohol program and bicycle safety programs

FUNDRAISING
Throughout the school year PAC engages in a variety of fundraising events for the benefit of our students; most notably, our monthly “Friday hot lunch” days which are always a favourite of students.  We also hold bake sales, raffles, penny drives and other such events, encouraging student participation.  We are especially proud of The Spring Family Fun Carnival, which was generously supported by the people of Gold River.

All proceeds from our fundraising efforts go to supporting student activities such as: clubs, trips, recreation, and most recently the major school playground improvement project.

 SCHOOL POLICY and PRACTICES
Working in co-operation with staff and administration, PAC has been instrumental in helping to form policy in areas such as student health and safety, and other areas of concern to parents.

PAC is also working together with the School Planning Council and School District 84 to form yearly school plans designed to focus on areas of importance to the education of our children.
