2025-2026 Upcoming Events
Dear Lord Byng Families,
As we look ahead to the 2026–27 school year, we’re getting an early start on building our PAC Executive & Member-at-Large team — and we’d love to have you involved!
Serving on the PAC Executive is a wonderful way to connect with other families, support our teachers & staff, and help shape programs and initiatives that benefit Lord Byng students.
If you’re curious about what executive roles look like, or if you’re ready to throw your hat in the ring, please reach out to us at lordbyngschoolpac@gmail.com. We’re happy to answer any questions and tell you more about what’s involved.
No experience necessary — just enthusiasm for our school community! 😊
Staff Appreciation Lunch:
Thank-you to all the parents & guardians who donated.
On behalf of the Lord Byng PAC, we extend our sincere gratitude to all parents and guardians who contributed to the 2026 Staff Appreciation Lunch. Through your generous donations of food, gifts, and e-transfers — as well as the time given by our PAC volunteers — this year’s event was a tremendous success. We received more than 60 delicious meal contributions, approximately 70 gifts for the lucky draw, and over 120 e-transferred financial donations!
The lunch brought together teachers, counsellors, office and custodial staff for a celebratory meal, a lucky draw, and a hand-written thank-you (including a small gift card) for every member of the staff. Packed lunches were prepared for those unable to attend. The response from our Lord Byng staff was one of genuine appreciation for the festive recognition of their hard work and dedication.
Parents & Guardians, thanks to your collective generosity, donations exceeded our expectations. A modest surplus will be held in reserve to support next year’s event.
We wish all of our Lord Byng Secondary families a wonderful summer holiday. We look forward to seeing you at the next parent & guardian coffee time, and the first PAC meeting of the new school-year, in September.
The Lord Byng Secondary School PAC Executive & Members-at-Large
