The staff at St Robert’s considers the engagement and involvement of parents in a child’s learning as an essential part of the education of children.  Children witness teachers and parents working together, which in turn develops positive attitudes towards school.  There are opportunities to become involved such as assisting on excursions and inside the classroom.

In line with our Child Safe Policy, all Volunteers will be required to:

 

• Complete and submit to the office the Volunteer Code of Conduct

• Complete and submit a Reference Check Form.

• Read and acknowledge St Robert’s Child Safe and Wellbeing Policy.

• Provide a current Working with Children Check Card.

• View the Parent Volunteer briefing video prior to volunteering.

 

Working with Children Check Card (WWCC)
