Monies collected cover or subsidize costs of events and activities - including those run by Student Council. SAC uses the SAF collected at Registration for the following purposes:
To provide start up operational funds for clubs and committees;
To defray costs of organizing or participating in special events (such as student conferences, competitions, celebrations) related to the club or committee;
To support special initiatives that clubs have requested funding via a written proposal;
To provide awards/trophies for athletic excellence and sportsmanship at the annual Athletic Banquet;
To provide funding support for teams that qualify for OFSAA; and,
The Music, Drama, Visual Arts and Classics programs have co-curricular clubs and activities which receive funding from SAC through the SAF.
Note: Students who pay the student activity fee are eligible to receive discounts at events run by the Student Activity Council.
