PAC Executive update and positions still to be filled

At the PAC meeting on Monday night, our new executive was elected for the upcoming school year. We are pleased to announce the following:

PAC Chair: Tai Scott
PAC Co-Chair: Katherine Smith
Treasurer: Brenna Fraser
Kindergarten Representative: Carmen Leach
Primary Representative: Leora Fenner
Kits High Liaison: Jacqueline Crummey
Website: Salma Jamal

Thank you to our new executive, as well as those who are staying in their roles, for stepping up to volunteer!

We also want to thank the PAC members who are stepping back this year.  Thank you to outgoing PAC Chair Jo Grabinsky,  outgoing Treasurers Nasser Esfahani and Jennifer  Elliott and outgoing Past Chair Tam Cummings. Jo, Nasser, Jennifer and Tam are leaving  their roles because their terms are up, but they have promised they will be in hand to advise and support the new PAC Executives next year. Thank you!

Three key positions to be filled at the moment are:

Co-Treasurer: With the introduction of School Cash Online, this role has become a lot less onerous. Working with Brenna you will help manage the PAC Finances. This includes managing the books, signing cheques and a few bank runs.

​DPAC Rep: The Tennyson PAC works with the Vancouver District PAC  to support education for all children of Vancouver. The role can be as big or as small as you like and you can start small and get more involved later if you like. The DPAC representative:

• Acts as a liaison between the PAC and DPAC by attending DPAC meetings
• Communicates and obtains information to and from PAC
• Brings forward issues that may be common to more than one school

Intermediate Rep: Some new, non-elected positions have been created this year for PAC to get more voices at the table. As the Intermediate Representative, you will speak for parents and students in the intermediate grades and make sure their opinions and needs are considered.

If you’re interested in these roles, sharing any of the other positions that are currently filled, or volunteering as lead for any of the committees, (available positions)  please get in touch. No previous experience necessary. To volunteer for any of the open positions on the PAC committee, please contact  [email protected].
