Volunteering at BPS
Beaumaris Primary School highly values our community and the support we receive from parents and carers in many different aspects of school life. We welcome the opportunity for parents and carers to volunteer within our school across a range of different school-based activities.
In previous years, we have held information sessions to provide volunteers with the required information in order to volunteer. This year, we have created a digital Volunteer Handbook and an online induction process to ensure that the information is accessible to parents/carers at a time that suits them.
If you would like to volunteer at Beaumaris Primary School, the process will now be:
- Read the below BPS Volunteer Handbook, which includes the below policies and documents:
- BPS Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy
- BPS Child Safety Code of Conduct Policy
- BPS Child Safety Responding and Reporting Policy
- BPS Volunteers Policy
BPS Volunteer Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Induction Handbook.
Complete this online form, which includes both the Volunteer OHS Induction Checklist and the Volunteering at Beaumaris Primary School Questionnaire (https://forms.office.com/r/X1JfFrAPsa).
- Email a scanned copy or provide in person for photocopying a valid Working with Children Check (WWCC) card to the office staff.
The above process will need to be completed prior to volunteering at Beaumaris Primary School. This process can be completed at any stage throughout the year, at a time that suits you.
We thank you for your interest in volunteering and supporting our students, staff and school community.
