Ellerslie Campus School Council (often referred to as PAC but this is a dated term) - exists as part of an Alberta Government initiative and works closely with, and is often the same committee, as Ellerslie Parent Society - a registered society with the Government of Alberta. 

School Council works "support parent involvement in the school community and enhance student learning." Furthermore, "School councils are legislated under the Education Act and are mandatory for all schools in the public education system, including charter schools."

Our separate fundraising society, Ellerslie Parent Society often made up the same executives and members that work very closely with the Ellerslie School Council. The goal of the Society is to work with the school and School Council to fund events, equipment, tools, etc. to enhance education. It is incorporated under the Societies Act or Part 9 of the Companies Act , and has established by-laws that the committee must follow during their tenure in their roles. More information about Ellerslie Parent Society can be found here.

We wanted to build this website to highlight the amazing work of both parent groups supporting Ellerslie Campus.
