PAC is the legislated parent voice at the school level advising on any matter relevant to the school. PAC represents the collective view of parents and guardians of children in the school. All parents and guardians of children in a school are automatically members of our school’s PAC and entitled to attend and vote at general meetings. A school’s principal or vice-principal and a teacher representative may also attend PAC meetings. HSSA/HPAC (PAC) meets every third Monday at 7:00PM in the school library. There are no meetings in December and March. The meeting in May is the second Monday. Please refer to the Handsworth school calendar.

If you want to know what is going in and around Handsworth Secondary School please come to the PAC meetings!

Here are two useful websites to have: the BCCPAC – www.bccpac.bc.ca/ and the North Vancouver District PAC www.nvsd44.bc.ca/AboutUs/NVPAC.aspx There are many great educational opportunities available through these organizations.
