Working With our Students - Volunteers and Parent Helpers Induction Course

DCS is committed to being a child safe school for our students. Each year we hold our Volunteers and Parent Helpers Course for our class parent helpers and volunteers working with our students. Parents, family members and volunteers who wish to volunteer at the school in any capacity or coach a DCS sports team are required to sit the ‘Working with Our DCS Students’ session. 

These sessions are held to induct our parent helpers, and any volunteers, who wish to assist in our classrooms and around our school in 2026. As a school that is committed to protecting our students and has zero tolerance to child abuse, it is mandatory that any volunteer or parent helper in our school attend this induction session. It is important a volunteer or helper attends this course every 12 months.  

Daytime Session

A daytime option of this course will be run in the Jiloa Centre this Friday 20th February commencing at 9:15am. If you are unable to attend this session, the school will advertise further times for sessions later in the year.
