Volunteering - Department Primary School

We welcome volunteers in a variety of roles at St Agnes. Volunteers support in the classrooms with reading and numeracy, in our kitchen/garden programs, on camps & excursions and on committees and fundraising events.

Volunteers have a wide range of skills and experience to offer to our students and can make a real difference as active contributors to a safe and supportive learning environment.

All Department for Education (DfE) schools are mandated to comply with the Volunteer Policy and its accompanying Procedure.

Why volunteer with us?

It’s an opportunity to give back to the community.
You can develop new skills, meet new people and build lasting relationships.
You can build personal confidence and self-esteem.
You’ll make a positive difference to the lives of others.

Volunteer requirements

To volunteer at St Agnes a ‘volunteer application form and declaration’ needs to be completed and returned to the front office. Volunteers are then added to our skills register and notified of any opportunities to volunteer in their chosen field. The volunteer process will then begin for each volunteer.

All volunteers must have a current Department for Human Services Working with Children Check (WWCC). You can get a free check for volunteering.

You must also complete the Responding to Risks of Harm, Abuse and Neglect – Education and Care (RRHAN-EC) course. You will need to create a plink account for non-department staff to complete the course online.
