Welcome to the website of Sutherland Secondary School's Parent Advisory Council. All parents and guardians of students at Sutherland Secondary School are members of the Parent Advisory Council (PAC) and are invited to participate in PAC meetings and activities.

The PAC supports educational and extra-curricular programs and activities at Sutherland through its parent volunteers, fundraising activities and donations by parents and community members.

Finances

PAC receives the majority of funding from the Community Gaming Grant from the provincial government. PAC also does limited fundraising during the year.

Gaming funds can only be used on extra curricular activities and we must report our spending annually. School administrators and teachers request funds at the beginning of the year and PAC executives allocated the available funds to cover as many activities/requests as possible. At a meeting in the fall, PAC will vote on the proposed budget.

Gaming funds can no longer be used for scholarships.

If you have questions, please reach out via email or join a virtual meeting.
