Volunteering

Child Safe Policy

The safety of all children in our care is of primary significance. Legislation requires all volunteers who work with children to have police checks.

To obtain a police clearances go to

http://www.sapolice.sa.gov.au/sapol/services/information_requests/national_police_certificate.jsp

to download the PD267 form and complete as per instructions provided.  

As a volunteer working in a school there is no charge as the government will meet the costs.  Once the application form has been stamped at the police station, please return it to the school and the registered person will endorse the form with a Voan Number and forward onto SAPOL.  

A copy of the Police Clearance needs to be sited and noted by the school office staff and a volunteer badge with photo ID will be created and issued for wearing when volunteering at school for on and off site activities. 

Police checks need to be updated every three years.

The school thanks you for your cooperation in this matter.  

Classroom Helpers / Parent Volunteers

Class teachers often require help from Parents with student reading, PMP, craft, etc.  When a parent is on our school site as a classroom volunteer they will be requested to sign in the Parent Volunteer Register located at each classroom.  The front office also has a volunteer / visitor sign in register.

We are accountable for knowing who is on the school site at any given time.
