Campus View PAC – Spring Clothing Swap
Wow — our first CVPAC Clothing Swap was such a huge success! From donations to volunteers to everyone who came out to browse, share, and connect — you made it a warm, welcoming, and sustainable community event we’re so proud of.
Because of all the enthusiasm (and all those amazing finds!), we’re excited to announce… we’re doing it again!
Spring Clothing Swap — April 14, 2–5 PM
AND new this time… we’re expanding beyond clothing! You can donate gently used housewares (cookware, cutlery, dishes, storage containers, linens) to swap — it’s the perfect chance to give those extra items a new home and maybe discover something you didn’t know you needed!
How it works:
• Bring clean, good-condition spring and summer clothing (and household items!) to the school before the end of day on April 13
• Come shop the swap on April 14 — no donation required to participate
• Any leftover items will be donated to local charities
We are looking for volunteers to help with setup starting at 12 PM on April 14 — if you’re able to lend a hand, we’d love your help! You can sign up on our master volunteer document — look for the Clothing Swap – Spring tab.
The clothing swap is the perfect way to refresh your space, pass along loved items, and pick up something new-to-you — all while reducing waste and building community.
Thank you again for making our first event such a success — we can’t wait to do it all over again!
Additional and Future Important dates can be found on our school calendar.

Dress for the Outdoor
Reminder to send children to school prepared for West Coast weather as we will be outside rain, or shine. Please ensure children have weather appropriate clothing and protection. Examples during warm weather days may include: hat, sunscreen, light weight long sleeve shirt., etc. For cold weather days, raincoats, hats, gloves, rain boots (can be left at school). A spill-proof water bottle is always recommended. Leaving a change of clothing in a small labelled bag at school is helpful if one gets too wet, slips in the mud, has an accident/spill/tear and needs/wants to quickly change to be comfortable.
Parking / Turning Left / Making U-Turns on Gordon Head Road
Please respect our parking guidelines – while it may look like there are empty spots in our lot, staff are coming and going at all times including the time when many of you are dropping off in the morning and picking up at the end of the day. About 50 staff work here on different days, sometimes overlapping during the day. Please under no circumstances, unless with prior permission for a specific short term situation, please do not park in our staff parking lot, not even for a few minutes. Children are often walking or riding their bikes on school property and staff are coming and going at all times.
Families that are biking on Gordon Head Road to Campus View from the South must enter through the driveway as there is no other spot to do so. Extra drivers coming and going makes this all the more dangerous. Due to the many concerns and potential hazards entering and leaving the driveway and parking lot, while we ask children and families to walk on sidewalks, use crosswalks and NOT to walk through the lot, there are always many children and families not abiding by these requests.
When you are leaving the driveway, please respect the sign erected on the fence. It tells you not to turn left during pick up and drop off times; it is very specific. Ignoring the sign and turning left, creates extra hazards and congestion. Even if it appears clear to do so, conditions can change quickly causing hazards and congestion for families and students, not to mention frustration for drivers simply trying to commute along Gordon Head road. Please ensure you do not block the entrance while waiting to turn to the right out the parking lot. When waiting to turn right, please stay to the far right so staff vehicles can easily enter the parking lot.
Last, please refrain from making U-turns on Gordon Head road in front of the school – this too creates congestion, frustration and as a result, extra danger. As a parent, if you are aware of drivers who are not following laws or are driving erratically once on Gordon Head Road, please take down the license plate number and call or report online to the Saanich Police directly.
