Volunteering

Yahl Primary School highly values the contribution that parents/caregivers and members of the broader community make to creating a rich, dynamic and successful school.

The roles that volunteers can perform include:

• Classroom support – Volunteers support classroom activities when requested by the class teacher. The class teacher provides guidance regards to the role of volunteers.

• Sport – Volunteers assist with the coaching and management of sporting teams.
• Governing Council – Governing Council is a consultative group that meets twice a term to discuss issues pertaining to the operation of the school.
