Volunteering at Our Lady’s Primary School
At Our Lady’s, the safety and wellbeing of our students is our highest priority. To support this, all volunteers are required to complete a few important steps before starting their role.
What’s required?
- Complete a Volunteer Registration Form (including WWCC and two referees)
- Complete the CESL School Volunteer Induction online
- Read and acknowledge our key policies:
- Child Safe Code of Conduct
- Staff & Student Professional Boundaries
- Photography & Video Policy
These steps help us maintain a safe and caring environment for every child.
Already a volunteer?
All volunteers must update their details and complete the induction and policy acknowledgements at the start of each school year, even if continuing from the previous year.
We will be making contact with all our volunteers to share this important update with you all. Keep an eye on your email!
We truly value the time and care our volunteers give to our school community. Thank you for helping us create a safe and supportive space for all.
