FAQs
What does the money raised by Andrew Sibbald Parent Association pay for?
Each year, the school administration presents a wish list of items for the Parent Association to consider funding. Items include bus transportation for field trips, school residencies and extra supplies needed to maintain things like the fish tank to enhance the learning environment for all students at Sibbald. The Parent Association also pays for the Halloween Dance, Pancake Breakfast and supports other events held on campus.
When and where does the Andrew Sibbald Parent Association meet?
We rotate between Tuesday and Wednesday nights each month. Meetings start at 6:30pm in the Learning Commons and typically last 1 to 1.5 hours. They are led by parents and the principal also provides an update on learning goals and progress. Attending these meetings is a great way to provide our feedback on school residences and field trips. You do not have to have a position to attend, everyone is welcome and the meetings are open to all.
What’s the difference between the School Council and the Parent Association?
Per CBE guidelines, the school council is an organization focused on fostering an open line of communication between the school administration and the school community. Everyone is invited to be involved in the school council. The group meets monthly with administration to provide feedback and minutes are recorded. A chair, vice chair and secretary are elected at the AGM in September.
The Parent Association is an organization focused on fundraising for the school. The Association’s meetings are held directly following the school council and the minutes are recorded separately. A President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer are elected at the AGM in September, as well as other appointed positions such as Fundraising, Social Events, Fun Lunch, Teacher Appreciation and Learning Grounds.
I’ve seen Andrew Sibbald T-shirts. Where do I get school spirit wear?
Each year, the Andrew Sibbald Parent Association provides the funding for one school tshirt for each new student and new teacher to welcome them to Sibbald. Some years, we have additional spirit wear sales available in the spring time.
Outside of the Casino, what other fundraisers does the school do?
Over the years, the Andrew Sibbald Parent Association has hosted a variety of fundraisers from selling apples to plants, each year is different. If you have a fundraising idea or would like to get more involved, please attend our monthly meetings where we decide which fundraisers will take place. Please note – fundraising is NOT required, it’s always optional for students and families to participate.
How do I get approved to volunteer at school?
Per CBE guidelines, anyone who volunteers on campus must complete a Police Check. Please note – at the beginning of each school year it takes time to process all the volunteer applications, so be patient. For more information on the requirements and how to apply, please visit Volunteer Information page.
