Helping out at school is a great way to get involved in your child’s education as well as get to know the staff and other parents and carers.
Research shows that children benefit when their parents or carers are actively involved in their education and school life.
You can help by:
- listening to children read in the classroom
- volunteering on sports days
- helping supervise excursions
- getting involved in fundraising activities
- joining school committees.
To become a member of the volunteer team that helps our North Nowra Public School flourish, and students develop you need to:
- Complete the Volunteer Screen check with the School Office
- Present 100 points of identification
- Present a volunteer Working With Children Check (from RMS)
- Join the P&C ($2 per year); this has two purposes:
- Entitle you to vote an be a member of the peak Parent and Community advisory body to the school's operations and development.
- Be ensured if there is an accident while you are on the school site.
Please be sure to always sign into the school as a visitor at the school office or canteen (if you are working in the canteen).
Please remember all of these checks are about student safety and child protection, and visitor protection in case of an emergency.
Thank you to all our volunteers who make such a difference to our school every day.
