The Hillcrest Elementary PAC, or Parent Advisory Council, is a group of dedicated parents, teachers, and community members who work together to support and enhance the education of our students at Hillcrest Elementary in Surrey, BC.

 

The School Act gives parents the right, through Parent Advisory Councils (PACs), to provide feedback in their school. PAC is the officially recognized collective voice of parents of their school. A PAC, through its elected officers, may advise the school board, the principal and staff of the school respecting any matter relating to the education of the students and the school.

PACs are forums within each school community to discuss matters affecting your school and the education of your children. Parents’ voices are a tremendous value to their school. They offer a wealth of ideas and support in the challenges that face all public schools. PACs strive to represent the diversity within their communities and contribute to the benefit of all students by:

  • providing opportunities to educate and inform parents about the school;

  • involving parents in volunteer activities; and

  • openly discussing parents’ concerns and aspirations for their schools.
