Community involvement
Our school values strong partnerships with our families and community. Parents and carers can get involved through our Parents and Citizens Association (P&C) or by volunteering at our school. Your time and support help make our school a better place for everyone.

Volunteering in the School
Child Protection – Working with Children Check
Community members who volunteer to work in schools are required to complete a Working With Children Check (WWCC) clearance as part of the Child Protection Act in NSW. The Act aims to reduce the risk of abuse to children by preventing a “prohibited person” from working with children.
A prohibited person is a person convicted of a serious sex offence. The WWCC forms are available here.The cost of a WWCC is free for volunteers. Community members who volunteer to work in the school must:
● Complete the WWCC clearance online and present this to the school to keep on file.
● Please enter through the office and sign in completing the name tag and wearing the name tag while in the school. This must be done on each occasion. Provide appropriate photo ID.
● If you are transporting students other than your own child to an event you must have a WWCC and provide copies of your drivers’ licence and car registration to the office.
● If you are a relative of a student at school you do not need a WWCC.
● All volunteers are to complete WWCC Declaration for Volunteers and provide appropriate photo ID. Please see our office staff for further information.
