Impact of Victorian Independent Schools

Independent Schools Victoria has released a new report highlighting the significant economic and social contribution of Independent schools across the state.

The findings are impressive: our sector contributes $6.6 billion to the Victorian economy each year, employs over 26,000 people, and educates more than 165,000 students. The report also shows that Independent schools save the government approximately $3 billion annually, while continuing to play a vital role in supporting families, communities and the broader economy.

This report is a powerful reminder of the value and impact of the work we do every day. We encourage you to take a few minutes to read the full report and reflect on the positive difference Independent schools make across Victoria.

Volunteers

Huntingtower encourages an open and friendly learning environment, which values community participation and volunteer involvement. Our volunteers may be parents, guardians, carers of students at the School, alumni or members of the broader school or local community.

The School recognises the integral role that volunteers play and actively seeks to develop structures and procedures that encourages volunteers to become actively involved in the life of the School. We are grateful to the many volunteers who already make a significant contribution to the School by bringing different levels of expertise and skills to the curriculum as well as the cocurricular program.

Any member of our community wishing to become a volunteer at Huntingtower will need to be on our Volunteers Register prior to performing any volunteer duties. All new and existing volunteers will be provided appropriate training to enable them to understand their role and provide clarity about what is expected and how they can positively contribute to the School’s programs.

If you would like to be a volunteer, please complete the online induction.

If you require assistance, our People & Culture Team are available to support and answer any of your questions via volunteers@huntingtower.vic.edu.au. Huntingtower would like to thank all volunteers for the vital part they play in making our community a rich learning environment and a safe place for our students.
