Helping out at school is a great way to get involved in your child’s education as well as get to know the staff and other parents and carers.
Research shows that children benefit when their parents or carers are actively involved in their education and school life.
You can help by:
- listening to children read in the classroom
- volunteering on sports days
- helping supervise excursions
- getting involved in fundraising activities
- joining school committees.
As part of the screening process to ensure the safety of our students, members of the community working or volunteering in our schools must complete a declaration form that provides their basic name and contact details. They must also consent to the department’s privacy policy and declare that there is no relevant reason why they should not be granted access to school grounds during school hours.
1 – Request the school office to send email a link to the declaration form
2 - Complete a digital declaration
3 - Show photo ID at the school office
