In addition, the front office was refurbished. The student support services include: custodians, Multicultural Liaison Officer, School Resource Police Officer, educational assistants and board specialists.

Pinecrest was the subject of a CBC Television documentary, The Pinecrest Diaries, featuring the work of Principal Charles Austin and his team of teachers: Jeremy Hannay, Laurel Piper-Tye and others.^[1][2] Pinecrest was part of another CBC Television Documentary called, Run Run Revolution this production followed 10 students, Bruce Hubbard, the Principal and coaches invited to the school to train for the children's portion of the Boston Marathon. This documentary is a reflection of where the Pinecrest community is now. It is a celebration of the strength of character and resiliency of our children and our community. Shot almost entirely on the school grounds and in the school, it is full of light and change.

Principal Charles Austin was named one of Canada's Outstanding Principals by The Learning Partnership in 2006.^[3]
