One of the things that makes Flagstaff Hill Primary School such a great place is our active, friendly school community. We want to make sure every family (especially new ones) has the opportunity to get involved. Volunteering at school is a great way to meet new people, make friends, learn about your school and your children love seeing Mum/Dad/Grandparents or any other special person at school.
Volunteers are involved in a variety of activities including: student mentoring, education support, fundraising, school canteen, attending excursion/camps and coaching sports teams.

The Working With Children Certificate clearance is instigated by a school staff member after you complete the application. Then an email is sent to you for information input. This will activate the application. The WWCC child related screening is valid for 5 years from the date of issue.
When you volunteer at the school, you need to sign in through the Front Office, get a visitor sticker and then sign in on the Volunteer Register in the location where you are spending your time.
