As part of Mayfair fundraising efforts, the days below are designated as Casual Dress Days (Dress Down Days). In exchange for bringing a Mayfair donation, boys may wear casual clothes to school on these days. When they drop off their donations in the cafeteria prior to school, boys receive a Finnegan hand stamp that indicates they may be in casual dress. If no Mayfair donation is brought to school, boys should wear their school uniforms.

We ask parents to cooperate and follow the school's drop off and pick up guidelines to ensure the safety of all boys at Vancouver College. Parents should not be coming into the staff parking lot at any time to drop off or pick up your sons. We thank you for placing the safety of our boys over personal convenience.

Donations are sought from both parents and the community to support activities at Vancouver College throughout the school year. The three major annual fundraising initiatives undertaken by the Parents Association are the Finnegan Ball, the Mothers' Christmas Tea and Mayfair. Without the ongoing generous support of so many donors, the Vancouver College Parent's Association would not be able to meet its fundraising goals each year. Donations may be made at any time, and may be dropped off at the school between 9:00-4:00 Monday to Friday. Donors are requested to complete the attached donation form to ensure acknowledgments and tax receipts are completed.

The following information provides a brief description for you as a Parent Volunteer. Most positions do not require parents to be at the school during the day. Please contact Executive Coordinator Wes Bolton at 604-267-4998 if you are interested in further information about any position, or email: wbolton@vc.bc.ca

Thank you for your support. We ask that you familiarize yourself with how VCPA allocates participation hours. There may be restrictions and maximum number of hours earned per event. In addition, please note guidelines regarding baking and food donations (homemade only, not store bought) and number of hours awarded per food item.

Each year, VC Moms, Aunts, Grandmothers, Godmothers, Alum Mothers, and friends are invited to attend this festive Christmas tradition at Vancouver College. Mark your calendar and don’t miss the annual Mothers’ Christmas Tea! This year, it will held on Wednesday, December 1st from 10:30 am - 2:30 pm.  Join us at the Brothers’ Residence where friends will greet you warmly and familiar faces will abound. You’ll be immersed in the sights, sounds, and smells of the season as you take in the fabulous Christmas crafts, holiday baking, silent auction items, and spectacular poinsettias and wreaths. Admission is $15 at the door and all funds raised at the Mothers’ Christmas Tea go towards supporting VC student programs and equipment.

Very rarely do we have to cash your Parent Participation goodwill cheque post-dated to the end of the school year. When your hours of participation have been completed, this goodwill cheque is destroyed. However, if your volunteer commitment of 30 hours is not fulfilled, the PPP coordinator calculates the number of hours served and notifies the school's accounting department who then bills the family for the equivalent dollar amount. This money is deposited into the Blessed Edmund Rice Bursary Program.
