Who is the Carnarvon PAC?
The Carnarvon Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is a citizen group comprised of parents/guardians, community residents and staff, who voluntarily provide assistance in the co-ordination of various school-related events, issues and activities. The Council's official role is to "advise the Board and the principal and staff of the school respecting any matter relating to the school".
