Meet some of our dedicated PAC Executive members:
Andrea Howorth
Vice President "I’ve been involved with Blakeburn PAC since 2012 as part of the fundraising committee. My career is in sales, marketing and events so I’m happy to share my professional experience and plan events such as movie night and the Carnival. I work from home so it allows me to help with other areas in the school when needed. My daughter is now in grade 6 and my son is in grade 4. It’s been a great experience to be involved with a dedicated and committed group of parents that go above and beyond to ensure Blakeburn continues to be such a great school for our children." 
Heather So
Hot Lunch Coordinator "This will be my first time as part the of PAC team but have actively volunteered at Blakeburn for the last four years. I look forward to playing an even greater role in engaging the parent/teacher community while working to promote the school's fundraising goals. I feel grateful that my two sons ,one in Grade 4 & the other in Grade 1 were accepted out of catchment & have had the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing school."

Sarah Bryant
Secretary Wendy Prasad DPAC Rep "This will be my third year on the PAC though I have been part of the Blakeburn community for 7 years now. After volunteering at the school for many years, I decided to join the PAC and take on a more solid role in our school community!" Email me: dpacrep@blakeburnpac.org 
Nicole Cherry
Parent Education Coordinator "With my oldest daughter just starting Kindergarten, this will be my first year on the Blackburn PAC. I have lived in the immediate area for over 7 years and have heard so many wonderful things about the students, staff and parents of this school. As a teacher, I have been directly involved in schools, children and education for a number of years and it is my hope to keep parents informed and be available to answer any questions that you may have. I look forward to taking on the Parent Education position here at Blakeburn and getting to know more about this great community of people." |
Carrie Heuchert
Fundraising Committee With my oldest son entering Grade 3 and my youngest going into grade 1, I am excited to be on the PAC team again this school year. I look forward to getting to know more parents, staff and students in our school community. Joining the PAC team is a great way to get involved and help make Blakeburn the best school it can be!

Rochelle Hepworth
Health and Safety Coordinator
"After 4 years in the Communications portfolio, this is my 5th year being responsible for Health and Safety. I’ve already enjoyed connecting with so many parents and I look forward to working with the school to make Blakeburn as safe for your children as possible. I love being on the PAC - I had parents who were never involved in my school, and I vowed to do everything I can to let my kids know I'm interested and invested in the place where they spend a large portion of each day. It is such a rewarding experience to see first-hand the difference our efforts are making on students every single day."

Members at Large
Meaghan Relkie
Member at Large "This is my 7th year on the PAC with a daughter in middle school and another in Grade 3. PAC has been a great resource for me to get a clear inside look at how the school functions. It is great to get the Principal's perspective on what is going on around the school and to be able to help the school move forward and continue to grow and get better every year. " |
