What does PMAC do?

The Principal's Multicultural Advisory Committee (PMAC) is a multicultural student leadership program designed to empower students to have a positive, sustainable impact on the culture and climate of their schools and communities. The program became a school board mandate in order to ensure that students had the right to attend a school where all ethnic and cultural heritages are welcomed and respected. The multicultural committee members represent a balance of students by gender and grade level, and representing a cross section of the racial, religious, and cultural backgrounds of the students at the school.

At the secondary level the responsibilities include the following:

A.     Act as an advisory group to the principal

B.     Engage in a facilitative dialogue about diversity centered concerns and make recommendations to the principal

C.    Promote multicultural activities and programs school-wide

D.    Learn and implement conflict resolution and mediation skills

E.      Provide service to school and community

F.      Improve school climate
