Volunteers and Classroom Support
At Calliope State School, we encourage active participation between the school, parents and local community.
This partnership enables our school community to work together towards providing the best possible supportive environment for your child and their learning.
Parents are encouraged to participate in the operation of the school through several channels.
Attending P&C meetings
Assisting in the Tuckshop or Uniform Shop
Providing classroom assistance ie reading groups,
Involvement in school activities and functions ie sports events, camps
All volunteers are required to attend a Mandatory All Staff Training program (MAST) – Parent Volunteer workshop before they are able to assist.
Completing your Volunteer mandatory training has got a lot easier. We are aware we all live busy lives and unable to commit to a particular day and time to complete the training onsite. You are now able to complete the training in the comfort of your own home and on your own schedule.
All you need to do is click on the link, read the key messages guide, complete the declaration and submit in person to the school office.
When you sign in as a volunteer via the Ipad, you are declaring you are aware of your obligations as per the key messages guide. This is valid for 12 months.
NOTE: All volunteers must be 18 yrs+ (other than parents of children attending the school), must have a blue card BEFORE they can commence working with children. Please click here External link to apply for a blue card.
