Volunteers Needed
Volunteers needed: Are you able to assist with supervising the internally assessed Nossal exams in 2024?
We are seeking volunteers to assist with supervision of our internal Years 9 - 11 Nossal High School exams and the Year 12 (Unit 3&4) English practice exam. The Year 12 (Unit 3&4) English practice exam will be held on Friday 20 September (8.30am – 12.30pm). All other Years 9 - 11 Nossal exams will run from Friday 22 November to Friday 29 November 2024.
If you could spare a morning/afternoon/day throughout this period, this would be greatly appreciated. All that is required is a current Working with Children’s Check or if you don’t already have a WWCC you can complete the online registration for the accreditation at
https://service.vic.gov.au/services/working-with-children
Working with Children Checks are free for volunteers.
What do volunteer supervisors do?
- work with the coordinating teacher to supervise exams to ensure that students comply with exam requirements.
- walk around the rows of students sitting exams.
- assist students with questions and escort them to the toilet.
- collect papers at the end of the exam.
New volunteers will have the opportunity to attend a one-hour training/information session to familiarise themselves with the exam process and to ask any questions they may have. The date and time of this training/information session will be confirmed early in Term 4.
How do you sign up?
Email your details including your phone number and the day(s)/times you would like to assist to lori.benis@nossalhs.vic.edu.au or phone the school for more details on 8762-4600. Lori will contact you closer to the date to confirm the days you have been allocated to supervise.
NB: please include information about your student’s year level/s in your email, as you are not able to assist in an exam your student is undertaking.
What do volunteers get for offering their time?
- the opportunity to see and understand the pressures on our students
- experience in and understanding of VCAA exam conditions, rules and processes
- a good feeling that you have assisted the school community greatly by offering to supervise
- food during meal breaks throughout the day
- a letter from the Principal to thank you for the important role you have played
- an invitation to the Volunteers Morning Tea later in the year as a thank you for your assistance
Please remember that when you sign up for supervision, we are relying on you to fulfil this very important commitment. We look forward to hearing from you.
