Parent Helpers
Do you have a spare hour or two once or twice a month? If you do we would love some help at school!
Second Hand Uniform Shop : We are looking for parent/s to assist once or twice a month with processing and managing the donations from the second hand uniform shop. This can be done any day or time during school. Please contact the office if you are able to assist.
Library: We currently have two lovely parents who assist with borrowing, re-shelving and book covering in the library on a Wednesday. If you have some time on a Wednesday and would like to join the library helper roster then please contact the library.
Mobile Phones
Just a Reminder to students and parents of our rules and regulations regarding the use of mobile phones and other personal devices. In our Holy Saviour Acceptable Use of ICT Agreement, it states that students will, “give my teacher a written ‘BYOD consent form’ from my parents/guardians before bringing my own devices to school. Otherwise I will leave my equipment at home.” If you have an urgent message to get to your child, this is to be done via the office, even if your child is offsite at an excursion or interschool sport event. If you cannot get through on the phone, an email to office@hsvs.catholic.edu.auis always promptly responded to. This is important for the care and safety of all children at Holy Saviour.
