Riverbank Markets – Volunteers Needed

Our Riverbank Markets are just around the corner, and we're once again looking for volunteers to help make these fantastic community events a success.

Each year, the Riverbank Markets generate over $30,000 for Anglesea Primary School. These funds directly support our students through improvements to programs, resources and facilities, and we are incredibly grateful for the support of our school community.

This year we've made a small change to how the volunteer roster will operate. In previous years, we rostered two families per timeslot, however the feedback we received was that this sometimes created confusion during handovers and important information could be missed.

To provide greater consistency, a member of our school staff will now be on site throughout the entire day, with one family volunteering per timeslot. This means we've halved the number of families required while ensuring every volunteer has support throughout their shift. The responsibilities for each timeslot remain the same, but you'll have a staff member there to assist and answer any questions.

You'll find the Markets Roster on the dedicated page in this newsletter. As families nominate for a timeslot, the roster will be updated both on our newsletter and website so you can see what is still available. To nominate a timeslot, please email: anglesea.ps@education.vic.gov.au or give us a call at (03) 5263 1231

If you have some availability across our three Riverbank Markets, we would greatly appreciate you volunteering for just one timeslot. Every contribution makes a significant difference and helps ensure these important fundraising events continue to be such a success.

Thank you in advance for your ongoing support of Anglesea Primary School—we couldn't do it without you!
