Parent Helpers in Foundation to Year 2.

Parent helpers are widely appreciated working with the classroom teacher to support students as they work in small groups or individually within the classroom.  To begin this venture, we will have two parent information sessions.  Attendance at one of these sessions is compulsory for those wishing to volunteer their time in the classroom.  A letter explaining the process for signing up to volunteer will be sent home later today via the PAM platform and through parent emails from Mrs Sarah Chappell (Foundation Learning and Teaching Leader) and Rebecca Jeffery (Junior Learning and Teaching Leader). 

Ongoing - look out for the note sent home today.

Foundation to Year 2. 

(Bethlehem, Damascus, Galilee & Jerusalem).

Parent Helpers for other School Events

During the school year, we have interschool sports, excursions and other activities planned.  Parents should keep an eye out for information in the coming months should they wish to apply to volunteer their time for one of these.
