SUB-COMMITTEES AT IRC

Family Council has many sub-committees doing important work at IRC.  They need volunteers to help make their initiatives a reality! Want to learn more? Wondering how you could help? Read on (or click here to download). If you're interested in joining or supporting any of our committees, please email IRC Family Council Secretary Amanda amandawhite30@hotmail.com.

Fundraising Committee.  Chairperson: Katie Rybnikar.
This committee is responsible for all fundraising events and initiatives at our school.  Together we will set fundraising targets and work together to plan initiatives that meet those goals.  We are interested in all of your new, fresh ideas!   
Equity Committee.  Co-Chairpersons: Kara Stewart-Agostino & Kris Britton.
The Equity Committee is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion within our school community. The Equity Committee will work alongside school staff and administration to develop and support IRC's commitment to social justice and celebrate diversity.
Greening Committee.  Chairperson: Tiffany Wyse.
The Greening Committee's mandate is to improve the grounds at Indian Road Crescent Junior Public School in order to:
a. Restore and rehabilitate the natural features of the grounds;
b. Introduce alternative surfaces for play and recreation so that the grounds
support multiple uses by students and community members;
c. Improve the area aesthetically in an ecologically sensitive way; and
d. Provide educational opportunities for those using the grounds.

Arts Committee.  Co-Chairpersons: Maite Feeney & Jen Hastings.
Music. Drama.  Visual Arts.  The aim of this committee is to liaise with IRC teachers and community about what programs and initiatives we want to secure, to enhance our children’s love of the arts.
By-Laws Committee.  Chairperson: Chris Chrighton.
Last year, the By-Laws Committee drafted Council’s first set of by-laws. This year’s task is to ensure that the by-laws actually work in practice. I propose a mid-year meeting to review and discuss. Additionally, now that we have the basics we can look at codifying other aspects of Council’s mandate, like sub-committees and an election process.  Buckle up, folks - we’re in for a wild ride here on the by-law highway!

Fun Fair Committee.  Chairperson: TBD
The Fun Fair is an important fundraising event that brings the entire IRC community together for an afternoon of fun, games, rides, music, food and more!  There are a variety of ways to get involved from the planning stages to volunteering on the day of the event.  Help us make Fun Fair 2020 the best yet!
