​One way parents/guardians can make a meaningful difference for students is by participating on our school’s parent society. Parent societies are a formal group of parents, incorporated under the Societies Act for the purpose of raising funds for the school. A society is a separate legal entity from the school council. More information can be found in our CBE Administrative Regulation 5001 – School Councils and School/Parent Societies.​​

Parent Society

Our Parent Society is known as Booster Association.

The Booster Association is a registered not for profit society that raises funds for school programs through a casino that is held approximately every 18 months. Through the important fundraising efforts of the Booster Association, students have benefited from:

  • Replacement and upgrades to band equipment
  • Much needed equipment and supplies for the fitness room
  • New equipment for science labs
