Volunteers @ DPW
The next induction session will be held on Wednesday the 6th of March @ 2:15pm.
The induction program covers information around the Victorian Child Safe Standards, Occupational Health & Safety and a familiarization tour of the school.
The Victorian Department of Education states:
Volunteers should be inducted, trained and supervised according to the school’s procedures for staff or volunteer induction and management. This includes being familiar with school level procedures for identifying and reporting suspected child abuse.
Should you wish to volunteer at DPW (attend excursions, assist in the library, etc.):
- Contact the school office to add your details to the volunteer expression of interest form. The induction must be completed each year.
- Supply the school office with your Working with Children (WWCC) Clearance (we will take a photocopy for our records)
- Complete a volunteer induction session facilitated by the school (offered at the beginning of each term and if there are sufficient numbers, to offer an additional session during the term)
If you have any further questions, please contact the school office.
