Volunteers | Parent & Guardian Involvement | Register Below

 

There are some great ways for parents to be involved at our school. We thank you for taking the time to Volunteer and for your continued support. Volunteers are integral to the school experience for our students, and they provide an important link to the community.

Some of the ways our school use Volunteers include:

- Coaching & Umpiring school sports teams                                             - Fete

- Helping during excursions or incursions                                                 - Swimming lessons

- Support at our school sports days and other school activities              - Classroom helpers

- Mothers day & Fathers day stalls                  -

The Child Safe Standards require schools to gather, verify and record a person’s history of work involving children. Catholic Education Sandhurst Ltd (CESL) takes child safeguarding very seriously and for this reason, Volunteers are required to list their entire work history, including any volunteer work involving children.

If you are interested in volunteering during the year, we kindly request that you complete the necessary Volunteer Registration form in advance. This will help save time when volunteering opportunities arise.

To assist our school in meeting the Child Safe Standards, could you please complete the following Volunteer Registration form and press submit.

Volunteer Registration Form

Pre-engagement checks

The Working with Children Act 2005 (Vic.) requires that any person doing child-related work, must have a valid Working with Children Check (WWCC). It is the responsibility of the Volunteer to ensure the WWCC remains valid.

We would again like to thank you for your understanding and your commitment to child safeguarding within our school community. If you have any further questions regarding this form or require support, please contact the office by phone or email.
