Teacher’s Report

  • Inter-a Play: Will be two one-act plays, taking place March 4-7. RB submitted a request to advance funds for props. LL motioned to advance $750 of Society funds for props for the play. Seconded by UD. All in favour. Carried.
  • Europe Trip: May 1st to 12th. A TOC will need to be hired as three teachers will be away. Is the Society able to cover some of the cost, i.e. $500? Discussion: Directors agreed in principle but are not sure how it would be handled – pay to the school or to teacher directly? CW will ask PV to find out how we should proceed.

  • Directors asked CW to discuss any larger equipment needs with teaching team as there are Society funds available.

  • The new Inter-A brochure has been completed and distributed to schools. Directors requested copies when possible to have.

Kwantlen Park PAC

We will not be doing an Inter-A update until February as the PAC agenda is very full this month.

Fundraising

  • UD will check into booking a bowling night at Xcalibur for either Feb. 16, 23, or Mar. 29th
  • UD will call Big Brothers to see if it would be worthwhile to do a pickup just before Spring Break, and will also check into a plant sale.
  • CW will check with RB about doing a concession on play days – will students be doing one or would they like the Society to do it.

New Business

Discussed setting up a separate fund to assist Inter-A families. Decision: Prefer to address situations as they come up without creating a separate fund.
