Interested in being a school volunteer?
We would love to have you!
Our parent and community volunteers help our students learn in the classroom, play on the field, and explore our neighbourhood. We greatly value the assistance and expertise of our volunteers. In our ongoing effort to provide a safe, secure learning and working environment for our staff and students, we have an application process for prospective volunteers, which includes an application form and a current Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC) from the local police.
