Volunteering

Volunteering at school is incredibly rewarding, and research shows that children do better when parents and carers are actively involved in their education. Whether you can give a little time or a lot, your support makes a big difference.

You can help in one area or many, as often as you like!

Become a Governing Council Member for a 1 or 2-year term and have a voice in shaping the future of our school.

    Important Info

    Working With Children Checks (WWCC) and Responding to Risks of Harm, Abuse and Neglect, Education and Care (RHAAN –EC) for volunteers are required for some activities. The front office staff at school can assist volunteers with information on what is required for each committee or activity, and start the application process where required. These processes can be completed online. Please contact the school for any information or clarification, speak to class teachers and keep your eyes open for volunteer requests in the newsletter.

    Got questions? Need more info? Talk to your child’s teacher, call the school office, or keep an eye on our newsletter for volunteer opportunities.

    Your time and talents can make a big impact, thank you for supporting our school community!
