JW Parent School Advisory Council

The John Wanless Parent School Advisory Council raises funds annually through a variety of fundraising campaigns to support and enrich the curriculum and scholastic programming at John Wanless Jr. P.S. The annual operating budget of the JWPC (PIAC) strives to match the TDSB appointed school budget. As the TDSB school budget is very limited, the opportunities made available to our students by supplementing their budget is validated.

The current operating budget of the John Wanless Parent School Advisory Council is directed at the curriculum support and enrichment activities listed below. Funds are also directed to special projects and undertakings throughout the school year.

We are currently transitioning to a fundraising environment that is anchored more to Direct Donations. Please take a moment to donate $65 per Wanless child - or more to help offset those who may not be in a financial position to contribute. Remember that our fundraising efforts go directly back into our kids’ school experience! Here is our site for direct donations: https://www.sagoto.com/jwsc/donate
