Everyone is Awesome - Ways You Can Help Our School
Something that has been on my mind for a while, as we have trebled in size over the last 10 years, so too, have the number of tasks which need to be completed. Up until now, things have mainly been undertaken by staff, a few very generous volunteers and board members. But, we need more hands and it is time for EVERYONE to make a commitment to help! This year, we will be asking every family to contribute in some way. If every family undertakes just 1 voluntary task each term, our school, our people and our environment will SHINE. There is something for everyone, from 5 minutes pulling out weeds to a regular weekly spot of community service.
Doing nothing is not an option!
The following list of tasks will be emailed within the next week as a survey for families to assign themselves to something. Please note: some activities may require you to be police vetted.
