PARENT INVOLVEMENT

Parents are the first and most significant influence in the lives of their children. We pride ourselves on working in partnership with you to support your child through their primary years.

 We highly encourage and welcome the involvement of our families in our school community. We are always looking for parents or grandparents who would like to participate in the schools’ Parents and Friends team. With the PnFs continued support our school is able to continue to grow and develop. 

PnF is not the only way parents can support the school community. We truly value and appreciate your contribution in smaller ways such as our reading program which involved coming 3 times a week in the mornings to allow the JPs to read to you or assisting the teachers on excursion. 

Parents and carers who volunteer at Saint Spyridon College will need to be registered as a volunteer, provide a copy/complete a WWCC (Working with Children Check), and complete and provide certification of a RRHAN (Responding to Risks of Harm, Abuse and Neglect) Training.

Once you have this clearance you are able to accompany children on an excursion, help in the classroom or with playgroup, or in any other way that you would have contact with school children.
