Volunteering at St Kevin's
Reading Volunteers
WE NEED YOU!
At St Kevin’s we run reading groups every day. We want every student to have the opportunity to read with and adult as often as possible.
If you have some spare time (about 30 minutes) between 9-10 any day, we would love to train you to be one of our reading/ writing helpers in the K to 2 classrooms.
As a helper, you will work with small groups of children reading, writing and playing word games to build literacy. Everything is provided and we train you beforehand.
If you would like to assist or find out more, please contact Cate, our Learning and Support Teacher on cate.larke@mn.catholic.edu.au or call the school on 49540036. You will need to register as a volunteer via our website- ‘Parents as partners-volunteering.’
*Please note, if you are a parent, you will not necessarily be in your child’s classroom. In addition, as part of our commitment to the welfare and wellbeing of all our students and staff, we ask that you do not bring pre-schoolers/ toddlers along, as it can be distracting.
VOLUNTEERING
The Catholic Schools Office (CSO) has created an online application for the volunteering process. On the volunteer site, you can find the Volunteer Handbook, and some videos that go through the Volunteers Induction. Applying through the volunteer site results in your application going straight to the CSO, then the school gets updates once these are cleared. If you would like to volunteer, and have not yet completed an application, please follow the link to do this online
When you apply online, you will be notified whether you require a WWCC and/or police check. Please note, it can take up to 6 weeks for your application to be approved. You now only need to apply once. Further applications are only required if your circumstances change e.g. change in name etc WWCC expires.
