The PJ Parent Advisory Council (PAC) works year-round to raise funds in support of many important school activities and initiatives. Planned fundraisers for the 2025/2026 school year include the following:
- Fun Lunch

- The Card Project
- Purdy’s Chocolates
- Popsicle Days
- Hot Chocolate Days
What are the funds used for?
Money raised through PAC fundraising has helped support major projects such as the library renovation, the PJ Community Park, and the kitchen renovation. In addition, funds contribute to enhancing key programs in athletics, music, library, computers and technology, and outdoor play, and provide teachers with funds for their classrooms to enrich student learning.
PAC funds also help make possible the special events we host throughout the year, including:
- Welcome Back Tea and Coffee
- Wine and Cheese Event
- Dundarave Festival of Lights
- Santa’s Workshop
- Jour des Crêpes
- Lunar New Year Celebration
- Nowruz Celebration
- Staff Appreciation Lunch
- Grade 7 Graduation
Programs that support our children’s health and safety education are also funded directly by PAC, either in full or through a cost-sharing model. These include educational speakers for both students and parents, as well as emergency preparedness initiatives such as St. John Ambulance First Aid training for Grade 6 students and the school’s Earthquake Safety plans.
