2026 Class Carers
We are looking for parents/caregivers who would like to be a class carer for 2026. Thank you to those wonderful people who have already reached out to volunteer! Ideally, we would love at least two Class Carers per class.
A class carer is someone who supports their child’s classroom teacher along with the other class carers to care for the class and families. They help to connect with families in their class and support celebrations or challenging times that may arise during the school year for families. They may choose to organise social events. Popular examples include a stay and play afternoon on the big park for your child’s class or year level. Class Carers communicate these events on Seesaw, through our team, and we are here to help if you would like to be involved. If you are interested in being a Class Carer this year or wish to find out further information, please email jrobinson@stpaulba.sa.edu.au and Erin Gracey egracey@stpaulba.sa.edu.au

School Volunteers
We are excited to welcome back our volunteers this year and would love to invite any new or interested volunteers to become a registered volunteer with us here at school. If you wish to be a registered volunteer at St Paul Lutheran, you can speak with someone in our admin team and a pack can be emailed or sent home with your child. All registered volunteers require a valid WWCC clearance and need to complete the Valuing Safe Communities and RRHAN training. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Bec Mattner rmattner@stpaulba.sa.edu.au
