At the meeting of November 27, 2009, the Rotary Club of Pender Harbour presented a check for $3500 to Pender Harbour School principal Nancy Brindley and shop teacher Jay Walls. The funds will enable the school to purchase four new computers: two for special needs students and two for shop programs.

On November 19, 2009, Rotarians Glen Bonderud, Ian Grant, and John King participated in giving mock job interviews to Grade 10 students. The event is part of the students' career-training program.

Plans are underway to work on further collaborative initiatives with the school. These could include organizing a joint PH Rotary Club/PH School fund-raising event, forming an Interact club at the school, and working on extending the school library usage so that the space might function as a community meeting place and reading center.
