Research shows when families are invested in their child’s education and actively engaged in what is happening within the school community, students experience higher levels of success. We need more voices in helping shape opportunities for students and supporting staff in making our school even better. |
Volunteers Needed - Vulnerable Sectors Checks
Do you have a valid vulnerable sectors police check? We need volunteers for field trips and activities, recognizing many parents have let their checks lapse. The CBE is once again covering the cost for a police check, and they are valid for 5 years across any school you choose to volunteer. Find out more information!
