Teacher’s Report
- District Planning Allocation: Despite the fact that we have 150 students confirmed for September plus 7 applicants waiting for acceptance and more anticipated in the next month, the District has allocated 5.5 teaching staff for Inter-A this September based on their projection of 130 students. This is frustrating because the additional positions will not be posted until September.
- Europe Trip: one student still hasn’t received her Visa due to government red tape, but it should be here any day. Students are learning and doing projects on the areas they will be visiting.
- Report cards hopefully tomorrow.
- Inter-A Grad dinner is June 6.
- KR likely beginning maternity leave now. VV and PE are hopefully to cover as TOC’s but not until May.
Kwantlen Park PAC
- Provincial exam results: KP is below district and provincial averages because all students are being required to take the exams whether or not they need to. (Grade 12 provincials are optional).
- Administration is looking for people interested in the school planning committee.
- Dry Grad fundraising not so great but more to come.
Fundraising
- Flower baskets forms distributed with report cards this week; flower pickup on April 29th, will need help after school.
- Big Brothers pickup this Friday April 11th
New Business
- 9.1 Face of the World Project: RG from KP Physics department related his intention to use the project to fund raise for KP scholarships. It seems that the Inter-A Students Society is the only body at KP with a charitable tax number and able to issue tax receipts for donations. RG requested that the Society consider the possibility of holding and administering the funds raised and issuing tax receipts on behalf of the project. The Society agreed to explore its capabilities within the Society Act and requested a written proposal from RG before making a decision.
