Parent Community

At BC Christian Academy, we believe that a thriving school community is built on partnership between home and school. Our warm, caring environment is enriched by parents who are actively engaged and supportive of our Christ-centred mission.

In 2010, BCCA launched the Parent Participation Program (PPP) to strengthen our Christian community through active family involvement and help reduce financial pressure on the school by rallying our community to serve together.  Over the years, many families have shared that volunteering has helped them understand the heart of the school on a deeper level and build meaningful, long-lasting friendships.

Program Overview
Annual Requirement: 20 hours per family per school year (not per student).

Term Deadlines

• 10 hours by January 31
• 10 hours by June 30

Fees & Exemptions

Opt-Out Fee: $400 (invoiced in early September, processed via EFT).

Special exemptions for unique hardships (e.g., illness) may be requested by emailing ppp@bccaschool.ca before the school year begins.

How to Participate, Track, and Complete Your Hours
We manage all volunteer opportunities through BCCA.OnVolunteers.com.
Each family receives a secure, password-protected Parent Portal—at no cost—that allows you to:

• Browse and sign up for volunteer opportunities in real time.
• See the tasks you’ve signed up for or been assigned (no need to manually submit hours—the system tracks them for you).
• View your total hours anytime (pending and verified).
• Communicate directly with the Volunteer Team about service-related matters.

Easy Digital Check-In / Check-Out
OnVolunteers offers Instant Verification through digital check-in/check-out.
Here’s how it works:

• Access your unique 4-character PIN in your Parent Portal.
• On your volunteer day, check in at the school’s kiosk before starting your task.
• When you’re done, check out at the same kiosk.

Thank you in advance for considering this opportunity to get involved. We highly value your support and look forward to working together.

Parents in Prayer Group

Prayer is a vital ministry here at BCCA.  Our primary hope is that as a school community, we remain steadfast and faithful in prayer as we seek God’s spiritual leading and guidance over BCCA.

The BCCA Parent Prayer Group is a gathering of parents who come together to pray for its students, staff, and various concerns related to the school community.  Over the years of doing this communal prayer, we have borne witness to God’s tangible and faithful answers to many of our prayers. What a blessing to participate in God’s Kingdom-work and get a front-row seat to see Him move mightily in the midst of our school community through this ministry.

While prayer remains our primary focus, we also endeavour to create a nurturing space that fosters connections and cultivates God-honouring fellowship among parents who join us.  Confidentiality is always valued and respected.

We warmly invite you to join us in living out 1 Thessalonians 5:17–18: “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

We meet once a month on Friday mornings right after drop-off and rotate between our three campuses. For location and times, please visit our website under BCCA Calendar.

Let us know how we can be praying for you, please share your prayer request (anonymity is respected).
