Please note that the procedure for volunteering at schools in the Diocese has changed. All volunteers are required to have a National Police Check (NPC) registered and full clearance to be approved by the Catholic Schools Office.

In the latest Volunteer Induction Handbook (version 1.5), there is a Statutory Screening Selection Tool for Volunteers in Schools. Each volunteer is required to complete this form which will determine if a Working with Children’s Check is required (now only required for overnight camps if you are a close relative).

The instructions regarding identification and obtaining the NPC have also changed and this is also included in the handbook. The handbook is available on the school website or from Admin office.

Any volunteer that has already completed the NPC last year are still cleared to volunteer, however everyone else will need to resubmit their handbook and receive clearance.

We appreciate that there have been many changes over the last few years regarding this process and ask that if you have any questions regarding this matter to speak to the ladies in the front office.
