About Us
What is the PAC?
You are the PAC!
If you have a child enrolled at École Oceanside Elementary School (EOES), you are automatically part of our Parent Advisory Council (PAC).
You are welcome at all PAC meetings, where you can voice your opinion and can vote. You are encouraged to get involved in all PAC activities and events.
Whether your child(ren) is enrolled in the English, French Immersion or the Primary Learning Community program, the PAC at EOES is excited to have you and your family join our school community. Our PAC works together with school administrators, district staff, and outside agencies to support positive learning experiences for all learners.
The fundraising done by the PAC goes toward enriching your child’s learning experience. Previous fundraisers have paid for classroom and field trip expenses, new playground equipment, athletic and musical equipment along with supporting specialized art and library needs.
