Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifications do I need?
A few of our volunteer positions require training. Time available
is the most important factor. A desire to make a difference in a
child’s education is a great qualification.
Volunteers have a strong
contribution to make towards a
positive and successful learning
environment for our community.
Do I need a Criminal Reference Check?
If you are going to be volunteering on a regular basis in the
school, you require a one time criminal reference check.
Contact the office about the type of volunteer work you
are interested in doing, and they will let you know whether a
Criminal Reference Check is required.
How much time is needed?
Many of our volunteer programs are flexible. We would greatly
appreciate any amount of time you are able to offer.
I am not available during school hours, can I still
volunteer?
Absolutely, our School Advisory Council meets in the evenings.
It is the best way to meet people and learn what is happening in
your children’s school.
